ReadyNAS NV+ failed downloading logs
My long-running lightly used/loaded NV+ has been powered-down for 6+ months while I was away for the summer, and upon successful startup I first DL'ed a CONFIG file, and then I decided to download th...
To summarize, I discovered that while my ReadyNAS was not booting to completion, during the quotacheck and/or Check FS process it WAS talking on the network and accepting SSH logins. So while it still was "Booting..." and busy w/those I was able to log-on and to look-around var/log/ and var/log/frontview and var/log/frontview/backup and delete some large log files which amazingly solved the problem. Back to normal now w/no issues.
Thanks to StephenB and Sandshark for helping to assuage my anxiety through this process. Except that the NV+ normally just works day-in and day-out I'd be better at troubleshooting the thing!!!

It seems that I am an idiot when it comes to puTTY. What I've needed to do to make certain to save all sessions (including the full log of commands and output and etc) was simply to set those options and then Save the session again (as in my case is called ReadyNAS.

Today I could not download my AT&T bill using Firefox, so I tried Brave and it worked.
It occurs to me that being logged-into Frontview with Firefox, and having selected Download All Logs, that it may "simply" have happened that Firefox would not allow the Save dialog to pop-up from Frontview, and so the NV+ was waiting on me and thus appeared to have locked-up. No Act LED, and iirc the Power button did not respond either.
Just a heads-up to anyone having this problem--maybe it is that Pop-ups are disabled in the Browser being used.
