Haveged on ReadyNas Ultra ?
I am running LMS (squeezebox) on my readynas ultra. There is a problem with the Random mix. The problem is that it isn't very random. The problem could be this that I have read about: http://www.i...
Oh, and by the way... Going back to your original problem, it still seems odd that LMS should be affected by this issue.
I use MusicIP or Michael Herger's SmartMix plugins for my "random" mixes, so I haven't seen the problem you've described, but I would expect LMS to get its random numbers from /dev/urandom, which should be basically unaffected by the available entropy. The behavior you were seeing, though, seems to indicate that LMS is getting its random stream from /dev/random instead.
It might be worth posting a bug on the slimdevices (or logitech or whatever) bug tracker.
