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).
I had left a browser window on the admin page...was flipping around and noticed it said the admin page is offline, and sure enough, the server has dropped communication...I am unable to connect through Explorer either.
this morning the NAS couldn't be seen at all...before it was visible, just not accessible. Today it was totally offline. I did a normal turn off and it went down as it should meaning it was running like always, just not talking...help!!
If you have a backup, you could do a factory reset, reconfigure the NAS, and restore the data from backup.
If you don't have a backup, perhaps use paid support (my.netgear.com). You can ask for per-incident support.
Just bought yet another exernal 8TB drive in hopes I have enough space now to back up the server. I will also be swapping out two 2TB drives and replacing with 8TB shucked Reds. If the best suggestion is to backup and build from scratch, best time to put in new drives it seems.
The system will work fine for days, then four hours after a reboot is disconnects again. Software related items shouldn't work on a whim which leads me more to hardware than software? Your suggestion seems more of a softare fix? Thanks!
