Can't connect to NV+ Admin

I have an NV+ on my network. Nothing complicated -- NV+, router, 2 pc's. With the exception of changing out the router, not much has changed. I can see the NV+ on the network, read and write to it, but can't get to the Admin screen using RAIDar - it can see it, all green lights, running 4.1.9.

I've noticed that when it gets really warm (during the summer), the NAS stops connecting and I need to reboot it. Then it's fine, but I still can't get to the Admin panel and I've done a reinstall of the OS, but no luck.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

    Likely the problem is a filling OS partition. If that is the case, you will lose CIFS access also (as it continues to fill).

    Options would include
    (a) paid (per incident) Netgear Support
    (b) courtesy support from a Netgear employee who monitors the forum
    (c) Do a factory reset, reconfigure the NAS and restore data from backup.
  • Any way to pull the drives, put in other drives (if necessary), reset / reconfigure the NAS, put old drives back in? Always knew the "nuclear" option was there (C), just hoping there's something out there that I don't know.

    Zekeman, the reset is designed to wipe the disks so no what you suggest will not help. Sent you a PM

    A few logs filled up the 2 GB OS partition. Should be fixed now.
  • Looks like the issue has been solved by clearing out the logs. Thanks MDGM!

    You can manually delete logs from the web ui periodically to help prevent this from happening again. If you are comfortable with ssh access, then enabling that also lets you monitor the OS partition usage.
