The Computer Audiophile Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Hi Guys, I had a power failure and now my QNAP NAS won't boot. After I pull the power cord, plug it back in and hit the power button, it says system booting for less than one second. Then it goes dark. It won't even come back on to give me that message unless I unplug it and do the same process. Any ideas? Anyone had this happen with a QNAP?

bobfa Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Chris, Try the basic soft reset: https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/knowledge-base/article/the-different-ways-of-resetting-your-nas-explained I might check the seating of all the drives and RAM. Bob My Audio Systems Link to comment
Evo-No-Revo Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 At my house the power popped on and off twice yesterday in about 3 seconds My audio server was on. When I went to play some music I realized that it would not boot up. It just had mobo lights on but no boot. My service guy who has had it today told me he thinks the mobo is smoked... I don't know if that is your issue but for what it's worth it is mine.

jcbenten Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I had issues with my TS-453 Pro a while back...mostly due to power ups/downs similar to a power outage. I think I pulled one hard drive that had been sending signals of misbehaving and I let the QNAP sit for a day, unplugged, to ensure total discharge. I may have reseated the other HDs. Started back up when I plugged it in and hit the switch. If you have extra cards installed (ethernet mainly...maybe fiber), I would pull those. Seems that during thunderstorms my ethernets connections always fry.

The Computer Audiophile Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Working on it now. Will let you know. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 This thing is now deader than a doornail. Can't get the display to even light up for half a second. No sound when I try to power it up either. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
audiobomber Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Are you guys not using an UPS with the NAS? @The Computer Audiophile, have you checked the PSU? Maybe it is the problem rather than the NAS itself.

QNAP provided great support when I ran into trouble with the firmware update on a friend's ancient TS-212, but it took them a couple of days after I opened the ticket to get back to me.

loop7 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 If the power outage did not cause any disk issues, can the drives be placed into another QNAP? Link to comment

loop7 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Old thread but following up. Once new PSU was installed, did it resume running as before? Or, was there any data issues? Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Required complete unit replacement. New PSU didn’t fix the issue. I popped the drives into new unit and all was ok. AudioDoctor 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

If the unit dies and the unit is obsolete then you might lose everything -- ie you can't buy a new unit. The business class QNAP units use Linux/ZFS as the filesystem. I have maintained a ZFS array for almost 20 years, moving it from Solaris to opensolaris/indiana, then Mac OS and finally to Linux ZFS were it now resides, swapping out hard drives along the way.

Pretty cool. Yes! If QNAP ceases to exist when the unit dies in 2031 you can plop the discs out, and plop them into a Linux/ZFS box and import them. Linux is pretty much guaranteed to exist in 2031 because it will be the kernel for the BorgOS. AudioDoctor and The Computer Audiophile 2 Custom room treatments for headphone users. Link to comment

I have tried, and failed, to get ZFS working on the Mac, do you have any good suggestions or links to a good guide? Its working on Ubuntu like a champ however, and on my new TrueNAS devices.

I wouldn’t try these days unfortunately because there’s no developer support. It’s bundled with Ubuntu so super easy to use. Its great that QNAP is using it in their newer/higher end NAS.
