ReadyNAS Pioneer Pro OS6 volume missing after hard reset

Hello,

I am running OS6.10.3 on my legacy RNDP6000-100 Pioneer Pro. It works generally fine but freezes someties and the only way to unfreeze it was to perform a hard reset which also worked generally fine until this morning. After a usual resync I got the volume missing error message with all discs being shown as working fine.

It seems that this issue does occur regularly so hope there is a ready solution.

TIA

    There must have been pending disk writes when you did the hard reset - resulting in an out-of-sync RAID array.

     

    The puzzle here is to understand why the system hangs.  One possibility is that it has insufficient memory.  Are you using the stock 1 GB, or have you upgraded the RAM?

      I have added a 4Gb stick and upgraded the processor

        So 5 GB total?  Whether 4 or 5 GB, it should certainly have enough RAM. 

         

        Have you tried accessing the NAS with ssh when it appears to hang?
