ReadyNas Ultra 6 Plus keeps rebooting randomly
Hi there, I cannot remember if I mention or posted this before, apologies if I did but I am still having the following issues. I have 3 readynas ultra 6's of which one is a plus and is the one with ...
For the fan issue, try this from SSH:
# echo 1000 > /etc/frontview/min_fan_speed_override # systemctl restart readynasd
For the restarts, it may be because the fan is not running and the unit gets too hot. So see if it's fixed by the above first. If it's not, you could have a failing power supply.
Hi and many thanks for the reply.
I logged into the NAS to make sure everything was ok but in actual fact it was carrying out a re-sync. So it must have restarted during the night - looking at the logs it indeed did - seemingly several times and the NAS was not being used but running in idle. See screenshot of the logs - time is in GMT (0.00)
Apologies meant to add, is it safe to continue with the commands you stated ?
Or is it something else - I have read that people have mentioned a temp sensor failure or indeed a power supply failure.
Regards
The command increases the minimum fan speed. It's a safe thing to try.
It could be that a minimum of 800 is too slow a speed for your fan to stay running reliably.To reverse it you can do
# rm /etc/frontview/min_fan_speed_override # systemctl restart readynasd
Note you don't type the #. That's to comment it out as you should think about every command you enter rather than blindly copy and paste.

Any idea why it might have restarted repeatedly? Or why it needed to resync? A power issue perhaps?
You might want to download the full log zip file, and look in there for more clues on what happened.
Hi there,
This is the first time that I have seen it restart itself so many times and each time it has to re-sync - so it restarts itself while re-syncing.
Can I run those commands in ssh when it is re-syncing ?
Power issue is looking likely but as i said at the beginning the system fan stopped spinning but the Nas was still running normal but I restarted the NAS for the system fan to start spinning again.
The only thing I can think off now is the fan that is in the power supply - maybe that needs cleaning or maybe the power supply needs replacing.
