Cant access my NAS326

MatsG

Hello,

Changed Router a couple of weeks ago, no problem that i know of with my NAS.

Now suddenly this morning it was beeping a lot.

Shut it down, via the power button on the nas because my computer couldnt fint it.

Started it later (beeps 3 times during boot.. a lot of seconds between the beeps), still cant find it.

Using the findme address and then push the sync button, nothing happens.

In my app for my ASUS Router i can see the nas online, with an IP number, trying to use both the ipnumber and the given name to access it, nothing happens.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Try a factory reset. Press the reset button on the back until it has beeped 3 times (will take 10~20 seconds).

Tried.. reset 3 beeps.. let go of the reset and ther is 3 quick beeps, still the same.

I searched the startscript and found this:

#if one sys-root image or kernel is currpt => bootform another sys-root
#if dual sys-root or kernel are currpt => the buzzerc beep forever
flash_fail_handler()
{
    echo "the sys-root image /dev/mtdblock${IMG_MTD} is currupt !!"

This codepath is reached when something is wrong with the flash partitions. Maybe that can be repaired using a 'Rescue stick'. Download the right file here, and unzip it to a fat formatted USB stick. Read the readme, and add the firmware as described. Plug the stick in the NAS, and boot it. It should reflash the firmware.

I did the reset once more... ALL my files are gone even If  I found info that files shouldnt be affected by a reset.

Did you store your files in custom shares? In that case you have to re-enable the shares. A factory reset resets all user config, including shares. But the directories on the NAS backing the shares are still there.

Thanks, that worked ... but not all folder I think... strange.

I have some mapped folder to this NAS... one of those folders are still missing.. i dont remeber deleting it... because it is my "Digital Photo Sorted Folder"

Any way to see if it is still there?

I have 2 hdd on RAID in the NAS, "Volume on RAID" th.ey should be mirrored. Its 2 2TB disc and I only have 2TB

Any way to see if it is still there?

Enable the ssh server (somewhere in system->network), and login over ssh (you can use PuTTY for that). Then execute

cd /i-data/sysvol/

ls

The last command should list all your shares, if your lost directory is not there, look if a filesystem check has found it:

su

ls lost+found/

MatsG

cd /i-data/sysvol/ => ls doesnt show my lost folder

is SU a command because it doesnt work "not found"

ls lost+found/ = can't open 'lost+found/' : Permission denied

Mijzelf

Yes, su (lowercase) is a command, which gives you the right to read lost+found. (And more)

MatsG

This is how it looks.

after su it asks for pw, i used my ordinary, and that worked.
