TS-409 lost configuration after reboot

Post by wabbit »

I have a TS-409 (2.1.0 Build 0904T firmware) with 2x WD10EACS drives in RAID1. Following a reboot the device has dropped all users as shares from the device and is showing as an unconfigured device. The drives are showing as 'Invalid' in the RAID config page. I don't have any backups of the settings to restore either.

The only thing I can think of that may have caused this was about a week ago I tried to update the firmware and a couple of qpkg pages, which all failed. Other than that the device has been fantastic.

I really hope somebody can give me the present of my 800GB+ of data back for Christmas!

Well, thanks to QNAPAlan I have a functioning NAS again.

Turns out the problem was a known bug with the firmware I was running where the system partition was full and could not update firmware or configuration.

I too am having difficulty with hard drives failing on boot up. :shock:

I just purchased a TS-409 Pro and 4 x 1.5 TB Seagate hard drives (same model ST31500341AS as outlined in the press release for compatibility on QNAP.com) http://qnap.com/PressRelease_detail.asp?pr_id=113

In creating a RAID-1 with 4 Seagate 1.5 TB hard drives the QNAP Finder finishes the Quick Setup, but the 409 loses all configuration data after reboot. I’ve tried multiple configurations of hard drives, including single drive (switched 3 different drives as primary to check if there was drive failures) I have spent a couple days trying different combinations of drive initialization types (standalone and RAID-1)

After 2 days of using only 1.5 TB drives, I borrowed an 80 GB Seagate (ST380815AS) and replaced drive 1. The system works with this configuration, but now it still loses on reboot the RAID-1 built using drives 2,3,4… even when configured via web interface.

This is a brand new out of the box QNAP and Seagate hard drives. I have no critical data on the unit. This will become the backup location for several servers and workstations at our office, stability will be needed in the long term, but it’s a free for all in testing right now

QNAP Finder version: 3.3.2 build 1017
QNAP Firmware Image: TS-409_2.1.2_Build_20081112.img
Hard Drive Model: ST31500341AS
Hard Drive Firmware: CC1J
S.M.A.R.T reports all drives as good condition

Although the 80 gig drive does boot as expected, I need to find a way to use the 4x 1.5 TB drives with this system. I’m not sure the next step in this as everything is listed as compatible by QNAP. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Dear All

I've got the same problem as stated above in the first message (after reboot config was lost, device acts as it has never been configured). Fortunately I have got a backup of my config from last week available, but am not able to back it up via the web-interface > inconclusive "page cannot be displayed" error message appears.

Since I can't configure the qnap any further for web-access, I just installed the TeamViewer for the QNAP Support assistance - an assistance which will be greatly appreciated! Hopefully the configuration can be restored without any dataloss?

My device informations were sent via the Skype-contact, since the online-support-form shows a
Internal Server Error - Read
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Reference #3.5447b5c.1244391922.4c2beef
Since we have vital business files on the device, a fast resolution would be nice. Message was also sent via your Skype-contact.

Best Regards from Vienna,
Stefan

>> being helped and cared for by the qnap support via skype and teamviewer. in the name of my collagues and myself: thank you very much.

Dear All

I have a TS-409 Pro OS version 2.1.0 (0624T) with 4 1 GB drives in RAID 5 configuration and I have the same problem. QNAP Finder says "The Server xxx is not configured yet, do you want to set it up now?" I have Teamviewer available and need support help to recover the lost configuration and the important data contained on the QNAP NAS

Thanks

I also have had several times the same issue as described in this post. When the system restarts ( sometimes due t a power failure), the qnap isn't reachable again through its networks shares and not even through its web interface or qnap configuration tool... I have managed several times to recover the data ( with a settings backup as far as I remember) but this is a mess because it is used for business purpose and we lost many times and IT wages...
May QNAPALAN help me to recover this this time? I am afraid of being forced to rebuild the disks as other times happened...
And is there any firmware upgrade to avoid this harrassing trouble? ( I bought qnap for its reliability compared to windows server, but until the date I have had many problems, mainly due to this reason).

Please; QNAPALAN, HELP!

BTW, I have Teamviewer already installed, so whenever you can we can try to manage it...

Thanks!
