Hey guys,
I have had the LS-WVL 4TB for a couple of weeks now without any issues. I have an automated status email set up at midnight and an automated backup from one internal drive to the other set up to run at 7am.
Sometime between when I went to bed last night around 10:30pm and midnight, the unit completely froze up and the status email did not generate nor did the backup run at 7am today. I did not notice the absence of emails until after I left the house this morning so remote access to the web interface nor the configuration were available.
When I got home tonight the main light was still blue and no error led's were flashing. I turned the power switch from ON (not auto) to OFF and waited 15 minutes with no shut down of the unit. When I gently pick the unit up, I could feel the centrifigal force of one or more drives spinning, but the unit did not power down after turning the switch to off.
After 15 minutes I removed the power plug from the back, waited a few seconds, and plugged it back in. Things seem to be back to normal.
Any ideas what might have caused this or how I might prevent it in the future? No environmental or system configuration changes occured yesterday that would have been contributing factors.
While away from home I had complete remote access to my router and remote desktop to another computer, but no joy with the NAS.
Thanks in advance for any replies or ideas.
Glenn
