Issue with new beta 6.2.3-T1652
I tried upgrading one of my devices today from 6.2.2 to 6.2.3 beta. This is a Pro 2 which I have been running on OS 6 since early 2014. The upgrade seemed to go fine and the system rebooted and I was able to reconnect, but soon after connecting to Frontview I started getting these messages:
Connecting to ReadyNAS Admin Page...
it would sit at that screen as the progress bar would go completely across without going back to the Frontview. I was still able to connect via ssh and rebooted the device. I found that Frontview would work for the first 30 seconds to maybe 2 minutes before I would get the connecting message again.
I was able to get frontview to work long enough after a reboot to downgrade back to 6.2.2 and everything seems to be working fine again. Just wanted to give a heads up in case someone else is seeing something similar or was thinking about trying this beta.

Upgraded last night, same symptoms this morning. I don't have SSH enabled however so I'm a little worried about how I could implement any forthcoming fixes... - ahpsi, your issue appears to be related to Transmission.
cerjzc, do you also have Transmission installed.
There is a known issue with 3.00.6: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=76617 - mdgm,
Thanks for the response. I do have Transmission installed on my Pro 6 which is running 6.2.2 and is working fine. On the Pro 2 I do not currently or have never used Transmission. The Pro 2 is the only one that I have tried beta 6.2.3 on and like I said yesterday I was able to back it down to 6.2.2 so currently I'm fine. I will take a look at the thread you provided though.
Thanks,
Jeff - I wondered if Transmission could have caused your problem too. I guess something else must have caused your issue.
- cerjzc or ahpsi did your I.P. address change?
One of our engineers has found this problem independently and diagnosed it as occurring sometimes when the I.P. address has changed after a reboot. - No I don't believe it changed. I have it set to static and if I recall correctly it showed the same in Raidar when I tried to connect. And I could connect right after the reboot and move around the frontview pages for close to a minute before that message about "Connecting to ReadyNAS Admin Page..." came up and after that any further attempt to reconnect would go directly to that connecting screen with the progress bar moving across. I did a complete power off and disconnected the power cable to make sure I got a clean boot as well, but it acted the same. Initially I could connect and do actions, but soon it would fail. In fact I wasn't sure I would be able to get to the firmware loading page, but I had just enough time to browse to the 6.2.2 image and upload it before it failed.
Jeff - Just as an update I checked the frontview log and found that during the time I had 6.2.3 installed it was logging this over and over again:

If there is further information or logging that might still be available I can try to track it down.
Jeff - If you download the logs do you see anything in readynasd.log that may indicate why it restarted ?
- mdgm,
The readynasd.log does appear to have quite a bit of information around that time. Is it possible to attach the log or send it to someone that might be able to look at it. I can cut and paste it here if needed, but there are probably a 100 or more lines from when 6.2.3 was installed and the readynasd process was restarting over and over again.
Jeff - There is a Sending Logs link in my sig.
