NV+ hangs, hard shutdown. ref. no. 18488001

Hi

I have a problem where the nv+ hangs and you must do a hard shutdown and reboot the system.

It has happened several times in the last month.

I know the nas is a very complex system and anything can happed to it, but is it a well known issue?

Where in the logs can i might find information about whats wrong?

/Henrik

  • beamsteel, I would first take a look at the SMART data on the drives. If you have a lot of reallocated sectors, or ATA errors, this would indicate that a drive is failing. You may want to also run a memtest on the system through the boot menu to verify that you aren't experiencing a memory issue.
  • okey checked the start+ logs, sorry about the language, hope that the English equivalents are similar :-)

    There they are

    As I see there is no sign of ata errors or reallocated sectors. When I read the instructions for the boot menu, there are two different kind of NV+,version 1 and version 2.

    If I purchased the unit in early 2009, is it a version 1 I own?

  • I has done a memory test. All the five leds are lit.

    The power switch is flashing

    on the display, "checking pat 8, memory ok"

    Shall I restart the nas or not?

    Are you able to power off the NAS, then remove the drives (label) order, hook the drives up to an internal SATA port in your PC and check them using SeaTools?
  • Do I need to plug them in at once or can I run one disk at a time? I think it would be best if I can do the check with the disks in the nas. Since I started this thread my nas disk 2 got 6 reallogaterd sectors. Time to change disk?
  • This morning the nv+ had a kernel panic session, I managed to kick start the thing.

    I have ordered two new Seagate barracuda discs, one for exchange for disc 2 (reallocated sectors: 8) and one for the shelf.

    Starting to backup things now.
