Ultra 4 unresponsive after 10 minutes case#18114989

My Ultra 4 has been working perfectly for some time but today It suddenly became unresponsive and disappeared off the network. It did not show up in Raidar and I could not access the admin screen via my browser. I tried a controlled power down but again the system would not respond and I had to hold down the power button. After rebooting it reappeared but quickly vanished again. I tried an OS reinstall but the problem is still there. I am now trying the second ethernet port and I am backing up my data to another HDD and this seems to be working OK so far. I have emailed the logs and included a link to this thread.


System is using the latest f/w with four 2TB discs. Any ideas?

  • Unknown, but I had a similar problem with a D-Link DGS2205 switch I had installed when I was running an NV+, and all was good. I then installed a (then) new NVX and while the file transfer speeds to the NVX were great, the file transfer speeds from the unit were abysmal. I reinstalled my old Netgear FS-105 on a temporary basis and the speeds were slow as expected, but when the new Netgear GS-108 arrived and I installed it, speeds in both direction met specifications.

    In both of our cases, something in the circuitry of the troublesome device did not react well to the faster x-86 units. I never worried too much about it, I was just glad I was able to solve it and moved on.
