ReadyNAS 104 - SMB Shares randomly disconnect from OS X

[blacky1]

Well. I haven't had a single share drop since upgrading to 10.10.2 so it looks like the problem has been resolved by Apple.
I'll report back if I experience any problems today.

The problem has returned 😞

All network connections have been stable since my last post. But for some reason as of yesterday (Monday morning) the shares are back to dropping as before. There have been no user changes to our Mac's or the NAS and the only thing I can think of that happened at the end of last week was we had the electric company in performing tests on all the fuse boxes etc. which meant total switch off of all power for a short while. For this, the NAS was shutdown and then turned back on a few minutes later.

Do you have a backup of your data?

Can you try 6.2.3 Beta 4?: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=78866

Hi mdgm

Yes we have a backup of the data.
I will upgrade from the current 6.2.3-T1648 to beta 4 tonight and let you know. Thanks

I was also thinking of re-applying the OS X 10.10.2 update to see if that would maybe reset anything on my Mac that could have changed?

[mdgm-ntgr]

Both of those things would be worth trying.

Last night I updated the NAS firmware to beta 4 (6.2.3-T1696) and also re-applied the OS X 10.10.2 update.
The dropped connection issue still persist 😞

I can't understand why we had a faultless last week with no dropped shares and now it's back to being unusable?

Have you tried changing ethernet cables, ports on the switch etc. ?
