Factory reset - killnas.sh

[kreibich]

Hi,
I would like to do a complete factory reset of my QNAP NAS (. Because I have only remote access to my NAS (I cannot press reset button), I found a way how to do it remotely.
I have connected to SSH and wrote this:

Code: Select all

[~] # cd /etc/init.d
[/etc/init.d] # bash killnas.sh


Usage: killnas.sh [commands]
commands:
        erase_dom_completely
        erase_dom_to_default
        reset_all_nas_disk_and_reboot

I would like to know the meaning these three parameters:

[*]erase_dom_completely
[*]erase_dom_to_default
[*]reset_all_nas_disk_and_reboot

Can someone explain what these parameters mean?

Thanks in advance.

erase dom completly ..pretty sure that would delete the dom that holds the nas bootup system ..wrasing this would make a nas recovery necessary

I would stay away from any commands involving dom

What version firmware and build date? I do not have that script on my 869L NAS.

Google found a mention of it here, being used by someone who doesn't know what they're doing:

We will need to run the killnas.sh command. Don’t be scared, your NAS will raise from the ashes like the Arabian phoenix. Type

Code: Select all

bash killnas.sh reset_all_nas_disk_and_reboot --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing

No, I’m not kidding you. This is the actual command you have to type. Press Enter to confirm.

The device will start deleting the partitions on your hard drives.

That means absolutely nothing. There are a few versions available that are the "latest." Post your version and build date.
