I have been able to start the fsck.
This is what I did:
- uninstall ALL moduals, then do factory reset
- once rebooted logged in and set time/date (so log file will be correct) and then powered off from shutdown menu
- powered up the Thecus, then imediately pressed and held in the reset button for 20 seconds
- after a few more seconds the Thecus beeped and 192.168.1.100 was accessable with fsck option
the addy 192.168.1.100 takes you to
192.168.1.100/factory/fsck.htmLeave the window open to see the results.
