Ready NAS 104 System Offline
hi people,
I have recently been experiencing some issues with my Netgear ReadyNAS 104 storage array.
Everytime it boots up, it works fine front-view display works fine and i'm able to access it the web interface. After 15-20 minutes, it goes offline and i get an error message through the web interface saying that the connection has been lost, it attempts to reconnect and always fails and the front view on the NAS remains off and i am unable to power the unit down without turning the power off from the wall, Netgear Raidar advises management system is offine.
Although the NAS remains "Offline" i am still able to reach all the files through the mapped network drive within Windows 7 and remote access from media devices on the same internal network.
Reading other posts, i am unable to do an OS reset as following the step by step instructions only provides the option "Boot Mode" Normal.
I have tried reinstalling the firmware 6.2.2 and after this didn't resolve my issue, updating the firmware on the NAS to the current Beta 10 6.2.3 - T1773 found here --> https://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=78866
I have completely run out of ideas, any advice is much appreciated. :D

- hi,
i've gone through the advice you've provided above, it does seem that the ReadyDLNA service is causing the memory issue.
the services i'm running are SMB, NFS, FTP, UPnP, HTTP, and HTTPS. Adding the ReadyDLNA service causes the memory issue and sends the NAS offline.
Does this mean that i am unable to run the ReadyDLNA service without it causing this issue?
All i want to do with my NAS is to have a network storage, that i can back-up my photos to from phones/tablets through ReadyCloud , access from remote devices using ReadyNAS Remote and accessing the media through Smart TV's and Consoles via a DLNA server process. Am i unable to do all of these things without running out of memory? - How big is the media library you want to use with ReadyDLNA.
The NAS appears to keep on needing to generate a new ReadyDLNA database.I have this similiar issue everytime I install and attempt to use Plex. This has occurred 5 times, and the only resolution is to start from scratch, with a clean install and not to use plex. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I've sometimes seen issues when plex is updating the library. The NAS nic card starts rapidly blinking, and the NAS stops responding to ping. The only way to bring it back is to pull the plug.
Is that the symptoms you are seeing? Or something else?
If so, then perhaps start with a small library (using files that you know are properly tagged). Then gradually move more into it.
