RN104 Numerous Problems - quid pro quo #24538394
Here's a quick rundown of the state of my RN104 and how I got here. Hopefully it might help someone (but not very likely). I had my Nas since May 2013. 3 x 3TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001...

Hi all,
Same issues sadly .....
I've just put 6.2.3 beta 9 on my 104 and ..... voila !!!! crashed after about 20 minutes !
running WD reds, each disk checks out OK.
This has been a ongoing drama. Having a "highly reliable" NAS that only stays up a few hours at most (even if idling) is getting very old.... and like you all I'm getting very angry/worried.
angry - that this unit has these problems
scared - because I have recommended readynas products to several friends/family and even suggested them at work ! thankfully I think I'm the only goose that bought an RN104 but ..... if the others hit issues like this we're in a lot of trouble :-(
so far
- back in 6.2.2 era .... did full rebuild from factory, took ages, four 2TB external drives to back it all up/resore and .... yes .... still freezes,
- 6.2.3 beta 1 ...... freezes after a few hours with same problem.
- 6.2.3 beta 2 ...... freezes after a few hours with same problem.
- 6.2.3 beta 3 ...... freezes after a few hours with same problem.
- 6.2.3 beta 4 ...... freezes after a few hours with same problem.
- power supply died, replaced under warranty (yay), might have had something to do with the number of times I have had to drop power and reboot to "unfreeze" the 104 over the last 9 months.
.... i missed a couple of Betas .... frustrated !!!!
Family no longer interested in using media tank as supporting NAS won't play for a full movies worrth of time before freezing :-(
and now
- 6.2.3 beta 9 ..... freezes after about 20 minutes .... with same problem ...... (only tried twice now)
three year warranty right ?
mgdm, what data from the logs would help you guys nail this issue that I might have
..... and ....
is 6.3.3 likely to be better, I see it is available in beta for the 104 but I've been reading a few "brick" stories and am a little scared :-(
Thanks in Advance,
Mark
