readynas pro will not start for a period of time #24335186
Hi, I'm John. Have a ReadyNAS pro that had exhibited some strange behavior and am wondering if others have seen the condition too.
When the ReadyNas has been unplugged for a period of time more than a couple days, when power is supplied to the readynas pro it will not start for a period of time. About 20 minutes or so it just sits there...then boom the readynas starts.
The other behavior that I see which may be related is that the readynas will not power off when shut down. It will reboot. So to safely shut the device down I shut it down and remove the power as it turns off momentarily.
Anyone have an idea what might be causing this behavior?

- I think you might have a failing PSU.
What version of RAIDiator are you running?
Welcome to the forum! - Thanks I am running RAIDiator 4.2.27. Is there any way to tell for sure, if the PSU is failing?
- Can you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
- I sent the logs. Thanks for taking a look at this.
- When did you purchase this?
It looks like you never registered it. - Back in 2009ish. I have several of them. Never bothered to register them since I didn't have a problem until the warranty period ended...
- If it was a Pro Business Edition it had a 5 year warranty from the date of purchase
- I am told by the support folks they believe this problem to be related to the software. Does anything strike you as glaring in the logs? Another options I have is to reinstall the software on the readynas pro if that would be helpful.
Thanks,
John - This sounds more like a hardware issue to me.
If you power down, remove your disks and label the order, and put a spare disk (must not be from your array) in do you still have this issue?
