RN104 shut down by itself and now no ethernet link
I came home to see that my RN104 (6.2.0) was powered off. Nobody told it to shut down -- it did it on its own. When I boot it up, I get "cannot communicate with discovery server," which means that...
Hmm. It's working now. One of two things fixed it:
I unplugged it and removed all the disks and inserted a scratch disk. Then I booted it back up and got the "used disks" error. While on that error screen, I noticed that my ethernet link light was on again.
I powered off and reinserted the original disks. It started working.
So, either the unplugging reset some hardware or the scratch disk exercise reset something. Either way, it appears to be OK now.
