NV+ hanging up every 7 days
I have a strange issue that has been happening for the last three weeks. It seems that every Sunday morning my NV+ hangs up. I'm usually not able to control it via the web management or ssh. I can'...
I did both the short tests. I started the long test but had to physically move the drive before it completed so I ended up shutting it down. I was using a Thermaltake BlacX eSATA USB Docking Station and my laptop on the kitchen table and my wife didn't think it was more important than dinner. LOL
Since it was a brand new drive I find it hard to believe the issue is with the drive itself. But I guess we will see now that I have another brand new drive installed. I did check the original drive out with seatools and it would not even pass the short drive self test so there appears to be no doubt that that drive did have issues.
After the cron job experiment I may try a factory default reset. I've started a complete backup now. If I do the factory reset can I do a restore of the settings or is it best to just set up the shares again from scratch? Also, has anyone found a way to run a Crash Plan client on the NV+? If not I'll probably have to mount all the shares on a vm and run the client on that instead.
