ReadyNAS 424 unresponsive after 30 mins uptime

My ReadyNAS 424 often goes unresponsive after 30 minutes up time - the front panel buttons only light up blue upon pressing and do not bring up front panel info, and I cannot log into the admin page ...

Another option is to open an SSH window and run top in it, then see if a process is at 100% CPU at the time it crashes.

    It makes sense to do all three.

    thanks for the "top tip" ha!

     

    I have top running and will keep it open - if/when the system crashes again, I presume top will display the last refresh. 

     

    So far the tracker-miner-f command has been using 90%+ CPU for the past 25 minutes (the entire time the readynas has been up) 

     

    I'll report any further findings here.
