N3200 boot hangup

[wsc]

Hello all,

I have a N3200 with Raid5 and have setup it successfully and already transfered data to it.

Yesterday I have transfered my MP3's over NFS to the N3200 into the Music Service-Folder. I think the problem is, that when I have transfered the data, then it had other file-permissions then the files, I transfered via Windows (SMB) to this directory.

On the next day the device couldn't be booted anymore. The LCD shows:

uP Ver:012
Booting...

I have let it for more than 8 hours in that status but nothing happend. When I remove the HDD's then the N3200 can boot up successfully. So I would say that it is no Hardware-Problem on the N3200. The HDD's are as new as the NAS.

I think that maybe the Media-Server couldn't start because it couldn't read the files in the shared Music Service-Folder...

What do you think? Why couldn't the device successfully boot up? And what can I do to access my files?

Best regards,
Werner Scholze

Hi,

ok. I just managed it to boot up the device and backup my files. I have done the following steps:

- started the device with all three HDD's
- let the device in the status "Booting..." for just a minute, that the raid is initialized as far as it works
- then I have took the first HDD out of the device.

-> The device could finally boot up (with a degraded raid of course) within a further minute.

- I have backuped all my files.
- Then I have done a "chmod 777 -R *" on all my files within the Music-Folder
- In the Web-Admin I have deactivated the Media-Server
- At last I have put the first HDD into the device again and rebooted it

-> The Raid was rebuilded (~several hours) and after that everything worked again.

This was surely not a good solution and very risky but has worked for me...
