ReadyNAS 104 "putname+14" message
I'm not sure if my ReadyNAS 104 is at the end of it's life as it keeps going offline with different messages on the display. The most recent message read "putname+14" on the front display and I could...

Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm on firmware 6.10.2. So, funny enough the NAS has been running without issues for about 8+ hours now and no error message or anything. I'm doubtful that'll last so I'm going to try a OS re-install just to be safe.
Thanks for the info.!

So I tried a OS re-install and while it seemed to have mostly worked I did see an error message that read "err: could not properly extract" but luckily the NAS did boot back up. I noticed there was a new firmware but for some reason I can't seem to be able to upgrade to 6.10.4. Do you see this as a possible issue I need to try and fix in a different way?
Thank you again!

That suggests something is still off. I'm wondering if the flash has an issue.

What happens when you try to upgrade?

Are you running any apps? You may be running out of memory, which would account for the randomness of the location of the crashes.

That definitely is a possibility on an RN104.
It is also possible that the OS partition is getting full, or that there is some disk-related issue.
