My LS-WXL is getting trashed in AUTO mode

[LesG]

Looking for some pointers here, to something that's just started happening.

I run my LS-WXL in auto mode, with a 'custom sleep' script that keeps the device alive whilst there is activity on it (I rarely have a Windows PC on). I simply send WOL requests to the LS-WXL whenever I need it. All was working fine but then the LS-WXL stopped waking from sleep - the blue light just keeps on flashing. It's pingable but not fully awake/online.

I've had the disks out, checked them and they're fine. I've even formatted them and restored the stock LS-WXL firmware (I'm WAY too experienced at that now!) but still no joy. Simply running the LS-WXL in on/off mode works fine too, it always boots up cleanly (or has at least not failed yet)

From previous rebuilds (using the LSUpdater utility) it seems the data partition is getting trashed. Anyone any ideas as to why/how? 

(It's great to see this forum back, I thought it was gone for good!!)

Edit: strike that, it's getting trashed (i.e. not powering up, blue light continues to blink) when using the timer settings also. Time for a new NAS methinks :(

I think I've resolved it. Touch wood.

I did a total wipe and rebuild. That is, reflash stock firmware then log in and reset to defaults AND zero disks (took over 24 hours with 2 x 500gb drives). Yep, I went belt and braces! It seems simply reflashing firmware does not restore the bit of 'ware that handles the auto-sleep function... wherever that might reside.

It's been stable for 3 days now in auto-sleep mode with my custom scripts handling the sleep functioning. (No Windows nor NasNav)

If anyone's here/reading. Documented for posterity's sake. :)

Nope, not resolved. I stopped using it in auto mode and simply switched it on and off. A couple of days back, it again hung booting up with the blue light continuing to flash. It's pingable but not fully powered up. Sure, I can rebuild it again... until the next time it goes.

I've no idea what's going wrong but I no longer care. It's for the bin I'm afraid.
