ReadyNas 6.2 (NAS locks up entirely)
EDIT BY MODERATOR: Please see the post at the end of the thread: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=456217#p456217 I guess i am not the only one this is happening to! everything worked ...
Hi All,
I'm having the same issue. Everything was running stable with 6.1.9... I could run for months without having to perform any sort of maintenance.
Since upgrading to 6.2, 6.2.1, and 6.2.2, I've been experiencing lockouts at seemingly random times. Always during periods when the system is not in use. I first suspected a disk spin-down issue, but the problem has continued even after disabling spin-down.
My drive is only about 1/3 full.
I'm thinking about (but am reluctant to) trying to reset to factory defaults, wipe the drives, and replace all my data. But since reading that this has not helped other users with this problem, I'm even more reluctant to try this.
When the drive locks up, I cannot access my data via SAMBA, or via the admin web page on a local network connection. However... the drive still seems to be operating... according to the logs, events (e.g. backups to a local USB drive) still seem to happen. Perhaps this is a networking issue?
I'll send in my logs. I hope they help to identify the possible issue. Having to power cycle is both frustrating and worrisome regarding data loss.
Thanks,
