ReadyNAS RN626X 6.10.2 Random hanging

Hi PeterMargolis 

It is a good suggesting to try and monitor the NAS a bit, before the crash happens. It does kinda require that you know when it is about to go down though. Another option could be to fetch top every minute or so and direct that output into a file. That way, you can go back and look at the file post crash. It would also be useful to grab something like dmesg in the process. Along the lines of:

while true; do top -b -n 1 >> /data/share/top.txt; dmesg -T | tail -n50 >> /data/share/dmesg.txt; sleep 60; done

Replace share with an actual share name of yours, where you want these logs stored. Also be aware that if your Putty session dies, then the loop dies too (i.e. logging stops) so it would be advisable to use nohup in front on the command to allow it to run continuously. There are many ways to make such a command into a more elaborate script, etc. It is all a Linux Bash shell so the world is your oyster here. Personally, I would make it into a bash script file and run that as it is more easy to edit and add to, that way.

I can also help take a look a current log-set for you, if you like. Might find something in there. Just download the cluster logs (System > Logs > Download Logs) and download the log zip file. Hereafter, upload that zip to a Google Drive, Dropbox or similar and PM me the link to download them. Don't post them publicly here.

Cheers
