ReadyNAS appears to boot by itself
Yesterday I took my ReadyNAS Pro Business offline for a careful dust-cleaning. Since booting up fifteen hours ago, it has run a boot cycle every few hours. Here's the Log screen: Tue Sep 2 06:09:1...
My Pro6 was doing the same when using old seagate drives. Those drives tend to get hot, the fan does not spin up till a certain temperature is reached. At that point the fan spins up and it manages to reach full speed since it takes a few minutes for the drives to drop their temperature. I feel the algorithm behind this behavior is wrong: you don't spin up to full power just because one drive is 1°C beyond the threshold temperature.
Can you monitor the temperatures and see which one is going beyond the threshold level (drives, CPU, chassis)? Is there anything you may have missed when cleaning the unit? Are all fans spinning ok? I think I recall that the threshold for a drive is 38°C - may be wrong. But if you observe the temps, you'll find the pattern quite quickly.
Since I moved to WDC drives, they never goes beyond the threshold temperature and I've never heard the fan speeding up.
