ReadyNAS Pro 6 crashed again
Hello all, My ReadyNAS Pro6 periodically stops responding to the network. When that happens I can push the button to shutdown it but it will sit on "shutting down" forever and then I'll have to p...
Considering it’s happening very rarely it’s not such a bad idea.
I’ve run overnights of ram tests but maybe it didn’t catch it because it happens very rarely.
I still have the original CPU so I could try that too.
That said, the fact that just the network went down last time is suspicious. A ram or cpu issue would have much bigger impact I reckon. I might want to put a switch in between the nas and the main switch. It’s always been that switch and maybe it’s faulty. After all the nas stopped crashing when I took it off the main network - which takes the main switch out of the equation.
And it worked for a while while connected to my main desktop, again no main switch involved.
Uhm… I like this idea 🙂

I have my router dishing out DHCP addresses>>>Unmanaged 2.5G switch>>>both NICs into switch.
Static IP's on both Netgear NIC settings (IPV4) and router address.
Router set to static IP addresses for both NICs.
Since doing that both NICs are very stable.
Ram is 2 x 2GB PC800.
CPU is now E7600, Just upgraded from E5300, find this much faster than the Q6600, though my NAS is mainly used for backup, and file server, not really serving any Apps. E7600 runs faster and much cooler than Q6600.
