Thanks for the logs. I would suggest keeping an eye on things to see if it still crashes now that you have disabled some services.

It seems to be the plex app - It was running fine until today, but in the morning i installed version 0.9.12.8.1362-4601e39 again from the plex.tv website, and while still indexing my media files it crashed again.
This really is a shame, as it is the main purpose for the NAS... If it will stay crashing with this activated i will have to look for another NAS...

I've seen some lockups when updating metadata for large media libraries (nothing recent though). Mis-tagged or corrupted media files could be provoking the problem. Perhaps install plex on a PC, and use the NAS media library there too - that might give you some clues on what is going wrong.
You can also use plexignore to control what is scanned (gradually adding more subfolders until the problem resurfaces).
