Readynas PRO OS6 loses network connection
Hi ,
I have a Readynas PRO6 with OS6 (6.10.3) installed.
every once in a while the Readynas loses network connection (Raidar , Putty , windows explorer). Sometimes it happens after 30+ days , sometimes after several hours.
It happens to both network connections (although not always at the same time it seems).
Switching the box off with the front power switch only works at 50% of the times and always takes a long time. Switching off and restarting by keeping the button pressed for 5 seconds always works and restarts the network connection as well.
The diagnostics from Raidar show: (assembled from several files) :
Successfully completed diagnostics

No errors found.

I did a memory test and that all seemed fine ...
Most of the time the unit stops when it is idle , in the night or when not accessed .
Has anyone seen this behaviour before and can maybe point me in the right direction to correct this ?
Thanks !!
Harold

How much memory is installed?

Hi, thanks for the quick reaction !
It has 2GB (2x1) Memory and I upgraded the CPU as well (Core2DUO) but not sure which, long time ago...

That should be enough.
Free_extent_buffer is part of btrfs, so the most recent one is rather concerning.
You should certainly make sure you have an up to date backup. Have you downloaded and looked through the full log zip file?
Also, generally you should run multiple passes of the memory test. Did you do that, or only run one pass?
