Your suggestion seems more of a software fix?
Yes. I am assuming that something is mildly corrupted in the OS, leading to a memory leak or some similar condition.
It could also be something hardware related - a failing PSU can give a wide range of symptoms. But most hardware issues should be giving you some alerts in the logs (temperature alerts, rising SMART error counts, etc).
Can you restart the NAS normally, or do you need to forcibly power it off?
Also, what apps (if any) do you have installed?
One suggestion is to temporarily disable the bond, and see if that makes any difference.
By forcibly, no, I used the front panel button to "Ask" it to power down. Have had to reboot it twice now. I am assuming a forced power off would be through the back power switch?
I un-bound the ports as you suggested.
What baffles me is there are no error messages, nothing was changed on the NAS...trying to figure out what could "change" or "break" such that a functioning system is no longer reliable? The first finger gets pointed at hardware, but other than the adapters, what could cause a network issue, and I should say network, as the ports are still connected, but for "traffic" purposes, basically disabled.
