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...
I had Seagates on my NAS. They were going over (I think) 38°C every now and then and the fan would spin up. After a while the temp would drop below 38°C and the fan would slow down.
WDC are cooler - that's why I got them - and the fan never spins up. Keep an eye on the HDD's temps, you should be able to see the fan spinning up at a specific temperature.
The question is: you said it was not doing that before, did you replace the drives recently? Or did you upgrade the software? I feel the fan management is poorly implemented. If the temperature rise over the threshold, you would expect the fan to speed up a little to catch up, not to reach full speed till the temperature has dropped again - or at least to further speed up after several minutes, to allow the drive to cool down.
Let us know.
