I've got an old Lacie NS2 that has been happily running FVDW for a long time. I haven't really touched the configuration in years, but today logged into the web GUI to enable miniDLNA. I got it set up, and it seemed to be working just fine, so I went back into the web interface and hit the button to automatically run it after a reboot. Shortly after, I rebooted the NAS through the web interface and....it never came back. I'll confess that I did ssh into it and eyeballed the changes in /etc/init.d/rc.setup and /etc/init.d/rc.bootup3 before the restart, but I'm fairly certain I didn't change anything.
I'm curious if anyone can recommend any troubleshooting steps, as I can't figure out how to reach the device.
- I *think* I was running version 16.
- I know that my NAS has had the same LAN IP address for as long as I've had it, but I can't remember if I'd set this up on the NAS (there are no static IP routing rules on my router).
- It does not respond to pings at the expected IP address (nor can I load the web admin or ssh into it).
- I've watched the DCHP Clients page in my router's Web Admin when I've rebooted the NAS, and I don't see any new clients connecting. (Unfortunately, I never made a note of the MAC address, and the design on this is "too elegant" to support a sticker or something that says what it is). Without knowing the MAC I can't conclusively say that the NAS hasn't successfully gotten a different IP address.
- Thinking that perhaps it has a different IP address now, I entered all the unnamed IP addresses that I DO see in my DHCP web console into a browser in case the NAS got a different IP address, but none of them responded.
- The device seems to be OK. It makes the normal disk spinning noises when restarted and eventually settles to a solid blue light as it always has.
As of now, I can't think of any way to contact this device, so I'm turning to the forum for help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
