Hi, I'm sad that I have exactly the symptom described here
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4457
I had a power failure at home beginning of the week, my device restarted and worked for 3 days but suddenly this morning, NAS was not accessible with fixed lights.
I tryed to reboot with no success, I tried the reinstallation procedure with no success (no beep, no disk rotation)
power led is green
lan led is tuned off
hdd leds are red
I tried to reset cmos with battery trick witout any success
May I buy another unit and hope recover my HDD data ? Can I consider upgrading to 221/222/223 ?
Any idea ? Thank you

Recommended to purchase 221, the hard drive can be plugged in and started to continue using. If considering other models, it needs to be handled according to the situation. What RAID type is being used?

Hi TmTina thank you for your answer
I'm almost sure i was in JBOD (or RAID1 - the very basic situation one disk mirror of another))

Purchase 221 is recommended, and the hard drive can be plugged in and used.

Hi
Waiting my new unit, I try to fix my F2-220 myself
I've dismounted it, removed the USB stick to try to reinstall the boot-loader
I've found the procedure here in the forum but this is not very clear and relevant
DO I really need to vmware ubuntu on windows ? or running the procedure in a native ubuntu is OK ?
My first attempts on the native usb stick say 60Mb is not sufficient disk space
Then I found another larger stick, retry and I get this : (I had to format my stick in FAT, mount it on /media and not /mnt but I get strange behaviour as follow)
Code: Select all
sudo sh make_install bzImage
[sudo] Cabbage Password:

for the moment I get this and pluging my new stick on the nas lead to "doesn't boot"
Any relevant advise , reading ?
