Pro Pioneer 6 lockup
I have had a Pro 6 since it came out. It has been upgraded to 6.10.3 and has been working flawlessly. Recently, it has been locking up on ocasion. When this occurs, I am not able to ping it, let alone bring up the main web interface. I have to hold the power button to force a powerdown, then power back on. It comes back up with no issue and no errors in the log files. It can go weeks operating just fine before it locks up again.
How do I go about troubleshooting this? Any idea of where to look first?
No thermal issues
Raid 5 array is 66% full
No log errors
No applications installed
Light usage (music file server)
If you still only have the original 1GB of RAM, the time has come to upgrade. We are seeing many similar situations here, so it seems that the INnel variety of OS6 has reached the 1GB threshold. With the minimum RAM in native OS6 Intel systems being 2TB, Netgear didn't think it mattered and didn't let anyone know,

I know that it is DDR2 ram. Any particular specs or manufacturer? Does more ram help with caching if i dont use any apps would 4 GB be enough?
PC2-6400 is the fastest the motheboard can go (though faster capable RAM will work at the lower speed), even with a processor upgrade. I try to find some with lower CAS latency (CL5), and have used both ADATA and OCZ. People swear about Patriot, but it's higher priced and not spec'ed any better. If you aren't upgrading the processor, then the low CAS latency won't make a difference and you can stick with PC2-5400.
