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 ...
Well, came to this thread to report the very 1st freeze/lockup on my RN 516 running 6.2.2 and 6 x 4 TB WD Red drives. The box was executing a back up task - from an old WD My Book 1 TB USB2 drive. Very slow! Left it to run overnight.
In the morning it had locked up. The browser based front-end/GUI was unresponsive, but the machine could be pinged. I tried to switch off the NAS using the front panel button. The display showed "shutting down' but after 10-15 minutes of waiting I was forced to use the switch on the back panel to completely power down and then restart the NAS.
There are no log entries that would give me a clue why the box locked up. I was worried about data corruption but all seems ok. I may want to downgrade to 6.2 if this happens again.
