ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems
Boot Menu
Use the boot menu to restart or troubleshoot your ReadyNAS storage system. Your storage
system has the following boot modes:
•
Normal
. Initiates a normal boot process, just like booting using the Power button.
•
Factory default
. Initiates a short disk test that takes approximately 5 minutes. After the
disk test, a 10-minute time-out period begins.
•
If you want to cancel the factory default process, power off the storage system before
the 10-minute time-out ends. The system powers down safely without causing any
data loss.
•
If you want to perform a factory default, do not power off your system. After the
10-minute time-out period, the factory default process begins.
Tip:
To start the factory default process immediately, press the
Backup
button during the 10-minute time-out period.
WARNING!
The factory default reboot process resets the storage system to
factory settings, erases all data, resets all defaults, and reformats
the disk to X-RAID2.
•
OS reinstall
. Reinstalls the firmware from the internal flash to the disks. Use the OS
reinstall boot mode when the system crashes and corrupts some configuration files. OS
reinstall boot mode also resets some settings on your storage system, such as Internet
protocol settings and the administrator password, to defaults.
•
Tech support
. Boots into a low-level diagnostic mode. Use the tech support boot mode
only when instructed to do so by a NETGEAR technical support representative.
•
Volume read only
. Mounts a volume as read-only. Use this option when you are
attempting to rescue data off a disk during a disaster recovery.
•
Memory test
. Performs a memory test. The pass or fail result is reported using the
storage system’s LEDs. Contact a NETGEAR technical support representative to
interpret memory test results.
•
Test disk
. Performs an offline full disk test. This process can take 4 hours or more,
depending on the size of your disks. Any problems are reported in the system logs. For
more information about viewing the system logs, see the
ReadyNAS OS 6 Software
Manual
, which is available at
