Readynas 424 SSH service not starting (no error)
Hi all, I updated from 6.10.3 -> 6.10.4 today, against my better judgement (I've had issues with updating firmware in the past) and again, I'm having issues, the firmware update screwed with mono, so...
I highly doubt it's been hacked, there's nothing of value on there, there's a plex media server and 2 ports forwarded to it, not a single password is default, and none of them are duplicated, it's far more likely I've screwed something up, but since ssh stopped working I haven't done anything except for maintain the plex server, I have no access to the backend, and starting the service manually doesn't work, why is there no way to just re-install the root partition without losing data in seperate folders? I understand this is most likely my fault, but on the same token, not having a sanitized data partition that is completely seperate from the OS seems like an oversight.
Edit: p.s. restarting the NAS and plugging it into a switch fixed the dhcp flood (I assume) issue for now, if it reappears I'm switching to synology, at least I'll have access to SSH.

That's a bit odd.
Are you only using one of the NIC ports of the NAS?
Did you see specific evidence of a DHCP flood, or are you just guessing that was the root cause?
Also, was this a managed switch that has storm control enabled, or an unmanaged switch (which likely wouldn't).
If you move the ethernet cable back to the router does the problem start up again? Or does the router remain working?
