RN212 Need to Reinstall OS Often
My RN212 runs ok for a month or 2 and then I either cannot access the admin page or my backups fail to connect. If I reinstall the OS it seems to fix the issue but I seem to have to do this about every other month. Is this a sign the unit is failing?

Doubtful it's a hardware issue. How full is your OS partition? Are you getting warnings about it in your log?

- Also, what apps (if any) do you have installed on the NAS?
- What firmware are you running?
NAS firmware 6.10.10
I cannot access the admin page now. I cannot see the log file.
I do not know the OS partition or where to find it.
I do not have any apps running or installed.
I'll have to do a OS reinstall, again.
This issue is still an annoyance. Everytime I shutdown I have to do a OS reinstall to get to the admin page. The data is still accessible but any backup to the RN212 fails unless I do the OS reinstall. The power to the EPROM after power down seems to be lost.

Are you able to reach the admin page using the NAS IP address? Or does that also fail?
I cannot reach the admin page by IP address or RAIDar. After a shutdown, controlled or not, I have to OS reinstall to be able to access the admin page. The drives are accessible in Windows Explorer but no Admin page.
