Log into my TNAS and it takes me to an initialization screen

Post by jason_t »

I have had my TNAS F4-210 for well over a year, and now when I log into it, it takes me to an initialization screen. Why?

I filled out the info to initialize and it says it will erase everything on the hard drives!!!

The whole point of having a 4 drive RAID is for redundancy and now I'm being told it needs to reset and lose everything? WTF?

For some additional context ... I recently ran an update a TOS system update in the TOS Control Panel. After it rebooted, when I tried to login, the screen looked like gibberish.

I only updated TOS because I had tried to update an APP, and the update failed. When the App update failed, there was no log file, and the app itself was removed, but I was unable to re-install the App. So I thought I would check for System Updates.

So .. after all that, I let the unit sit for awhile. When I restated it, I am redirected to the Wizard screen where it tells me the following ...

"Warning
This operation will delete data on the hard drives! Are you sure you want to continue?"

Figured it out myself thanks to another users post in this forum.

Getting really tired of this amateur software system. Fortunately I'll never buy another one of these again.

Can you tell me the fix for this. I had a power cut and I'm now unable to log in and get sent to the setup wizard.

I have the F5-422 I was transferring data and a power cut happened.
When I tried to turn on everything again TerraMaster acts as if its the first time im using it and is asking to format everything for my pool to exist.

How can I get my JBOD set back?

Regarding the solution you found to remount the RAID you had,
would you share your solution?
I was transfering data and got a powercut when I turned it back on the JBOD I had was unmounted and im trying to recover it.
Thank you in advance.

Need to know what is wrong to judge the problem,
Please generate and download the log report in TOS > Technical Support > Problem Report, and then send it to suport team mail box as a network disk sharing link for analysis.

I do not have access to the TOS,
I only have access to the TNAS PC app,
When I try to access the server it takes me to a page that wants me to re-initialise my pool I got to the page of "Warning" Find photos attached. (thats where I stopped in fear of getting data formated)

I am trying to get to the JBOD pool that I had already created and used in the past.

Also when I use the Terminal and use some of the codes I found in previous posts this is what I get:
