ReadyNAS 424 screen error msgs and needs a reboot

Hi folks

 

Any suggestions as to what's up with my ReadyNAS424 with 2 mirrored disks? - it occasionally freezes with one of two error messages on the screen: 

and it once had this instead:

 

A few weeks ago I did a defrag, a scrub and a balance.  Not done a disk test, but no errors on the SMART screen for each disk. 

 

When it plays up (usually when writing) it freezes, and then I lose access via the web interface too.  Reboots OK and then it runs again for a while....  No errors in the web page logs though - everything's green

 

Thanks!

John

    Yes, memory or similar hardware issues can cause these errors as StephenB coreclty says. Trouble with those actions is to have uncertain outcomes: A more reliable (but not very practical) alternative is to just recreate the btrfs filesystem, and restore a backup.

      I suggest starting without the --repair. It is a risky option.

       

      Downloading the full log zip and looking in there could uncover more clues on what is going on.

        Yes, thanks you everyone for your suggestions. 👍

         

        Although I do know how to download the extensive zipped logs, I'm no Linux expert, so I don't know what to look for within those logs...

         

        Any tips/suggestions?
