Try downgrading to f/w 1.05 ... hopefully the HDD's will be accessible and your content retrievable.

If all is fine, I advise:

- performing a full backup
- upgrading to f/w 1.06
- resetting factory defaults
- reformatting HDD's with desired HDD configuration
- restoring data to DNS


HTH,

What is the status of you RAID configuration in the status page? If it is degraded try the Manual rebuild on the Tools<RAID tab of your DNS-323.

I DL´d the 1.05 and everything was fine. Just very annoying that the new FW didnt work out of the box. Maybe i will do the rebuild, but why? Just to much hassle.

A bad f/w update is usually a sign that something is up; as per my previous response ...

Make the time to do a *full* backup of the data on your DNS and rebuild the DNS configuration and HDD RAID after re-applying f/w 1.06.  While your at it, take a moment to check the HDD vendor site to see if the HDD's you are using have a f/w update available for them.

I suspect that there is some form of corruption that will 'trip' you up in future f/w updates.  Last thing you need to find out is that the files stored on the DNS are (or are being) corrupted.

Cheers,
