I am using my ReadyNAS Duo to store picture and music files.I have had acces to it from four different computers in my local network.The computers have different OS; Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.It has worked well until yesterday.Suddenly the ReadyNAS Duo disappared from the network.I can not see it from Explorer and I can not find it with RAIDar. I have upgraded RAIDar to version (I can not find the version number?).I have the computer with RAIDar on the same part of the network as the ReadyNAS Duo.I have tried to turn off ReadyNAS Duo, but it does not react on my pushing the button on the front.Both green lamps are green with solid light. (I have two discs mirrored).What can I do? I have very importend data on my ReadyNAS./Hans

As that partition gets full, the NAS begins to misbehave in a variety of ways, and eventually fails to boot.When you download the logs, the NAS attempts to create a zip file (also on the OS partition), which is then downloaded to the PC. So if the partition is nearly full, downloading the logs can push the NAS over the edge.

I haven't tried powering down with the power switch for quite a while. Usually I shut it down from frontview - is that an option for you?

I have almost the same problem.I can see the nas NV+ V2 when I push 2 times on the bottom on the front panel it will not shut down, but the display list upp so I can see the ip and free space left but it will not shut down.

Hi there,Has this problem been resolved? I'm having exactly the same issue (and I'm stoked that not only am I not alone, but I was able to find this thread!)I'm using OS X Snow Leopard - the NAS appears in my Shared section of Finder, but won't connect, appear in Raidar or switch off when I hold the power button in. Any clues? Thanks!

Hi,I have the same problem with my ReadyNAS Duo V1. It loses the connection to the network (and also Raidar) every day and the only way to get i back is to restart it. I can not turn it off and just have to "pull the plug". The data (mainly music) seams to be OK though.I did a reset (not the full) a week ago and also updated the firmware and thought the problem was solved, but it came back after a day... :( Any ideas of what this could be? Is it a HW-problem? Should I get it/parts replaced?Tanks!

Thanks vandermerwe for the support. I have now made numerous disk test including both the fast and long from the manufacturer (Seagate) and no errors where found. I'll make a back-up any way, but I'll continue using the disks I have.

I still have the same problem with being unable to turn off the NAS in a controlled way. I just have to pull the plug. Any other ideas of what it could be? Could this be linked to the problem I have with losing the connection on the network, or is that very unlikely?

Have you tried an OS reinstall?

Has a real answer ever been found to this problem? I see questions/answers going back to 2009 but none seem to answer my problem:- I press and hold the START button waiting for the lights to flash - they never do! I can hold the button until my finger gets very sore and still the lights don't flash!!

I have had my ReadyNAS for mant years, it works perfectly. Its about 80% full and tends to stay at that point, once a month I 'prune' the data stored and move old and unused stuff to DVD. But I would love to be able to switch the thing OFF without just pulling the plug. Help would be MUCH appreciated, I'm no geek so words of one sylable are the best, but I'll try to follow any instructions to sort this out.
