ReadyNas102 intermittently uncontactable
My ReadyNas has developed a problem whereby it becomes uncontactable by any device on my home network - PC, MAC, SONOS, TV, Phone... all of them. The NAS is visible on the home network as i can ping ...

The NAS always responds to ping and is totally stable on the front as i've had a continuous ping running for long periods when it has been inaccessible by the conventional means.
That's good to know.
What services do you have running on the NAS? It's possible that it is running out of memory.
It'd also be good to look at the disk health (disk-info.log has some information there).
If you have ssh enabled, you could leave up an ssh session. If it stays active when the system goes unresponsive, you can get more information on what is happening.

Current firmware is version 6.10.4.
I will pull off the logs. Thanks.

Also, I suggest pinging the NAS the next time the problem occurs, and see if it responds to that.
