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...

Quick update, the system has been up for 20 days and no issues whatsoever.
I am avoiding running updates as that would restart things and I don't want to somehow "fix" things unintentionally.

Another update, it's now 2 months and I haven't had the slightest issue with OMV.
I did try avoiding updates - which inevitably restart the software or the whole NAS - but I've then discovered that Debian will send security updates which are done regardless of me going to the UPDATE section of OMV. So at least once I found the "uptime" timer had reset because the NAS had been forcibly updated and the update required a reboot.
The thing is that: it works. No issues at all. After about a month I've also gone back to the original PSU, recapped and with a powerful fan this time. The PSU indeed is blowing quite some heat so I must have cooked those capacitors with the very slow fan.
Also, I have swapped the airflow direction of the fan. I do feel the factory one cannot be right. The PSU has a dedicated air vent at the BOTTOM. Air there is cool as it's under the unit. Hot air go up. So I feel that the PSU should get fresh air from there and blow OUT along with the larger system fan above.
Having the PSU to suck air at the back and blow it under the NAS is nonsensical to me.
1. The fan will suck the hot "system" air if the NAS is close-ish to a surface
2. The hot air expelled at the bottom of the case will rise and some of it will be sucked back in by the PSU fan. I feel that swapping direction makes totally sense. Feel free to disagree with me!
Anyways, I'm convinced that OS6 has a bug that applies to my system - maybe because of the amount of data, the disks type etc. Who knows. All I know is that (finger crossed) OMV works.

I think this could be my final update on this subject.
It's been 4+ months of use and I had ZERO issues with OMV and my ReadyNAS. The nas is on 24/7, the share is always accessible, no issues to report.
At some point I was unable to update, a file had been left locked apparently - I was given some advice on the OMV forum , I deleted a file and it worked again. A little software bug 🙂
