RN212 admin-page not available

Hello,

 

I've a couple of ReadNAS devices.
Most of them are running fine, but with one of them I have a problem.
Periodically the Admin-Page is not available.

"systemctl status apache2" seems to be good, but

"netstat -lnt tcp" shows listening on Ports 80 and 443 only for tcp6 and not for tcp

 

Any idea for this behaviour?

Regards

Claus

    Every month the ReadyNAS is doing one of the four maintenance jobs for the disks.
    Whilst at least on of the jobs lasts for a couple of days, I think is no good idea to interrupt it with a reboot.

    So a plan for a terminated reboot has to consider this.

     


    I was suggesting that you schedule a restart of just the resilio service - not reboot the NAS.  That would have no effect on the maintenance jobs.

     

    The idea there is that the memory issue is caused by Resilio, so likely no need to restart everything.

     

    That said, if you do want to reboot the NAS, you could just use the power schedule.  I've modified the autopoweroff script in the NAS to wait until any maintenance job is completed before completing a scheduled shutdown.  I could share that here again if you need it.

  • Does restarting apache resolve it?

     

    If you don't need ipv6 access in the NAS, you might also try disabling it.

      No - restarting the device solved it - temporarily.

      After taking a look into kernel.log it seems that Resilio Sync is causing the problem.

      From time to time it chrashes with an "Out of Memory" Error.

      I think this is tolerated a couple of times, but sometimes it is too much and the start of a new process - here the GUI - does not work any more.

      Running processes e.g. the sshd daemon still work - so it is possible to access the device for a restart.

      Not very nice, but I can live with.

      Maybe  I will use cron for a restart once a month.

      • If you have other services enabled that you don't use (or don't really need) then you might want to disable them to reduce the memory footprint.

        You could use cron to restart the Resilio service once a day (maybe at a time when you aren't likely to be using it).
