My NAS keeps hanging after a few days of operation, I keep getting the msg "hdb: drive not ready for command"

When I get this msg, I cannot log into the box to do a shut down and I am forced to a hard reset on the box.

Is there anyway I can make the machine do a proper shutdown if it crashes, as it takes for ever to boot back up again.

Thanks

I'm assuming you get the message from the logs via HTTP interface. Does the HTTP interface work when the NAS is hanging?

Can you ping the NAS box when you get the messages?

Does a directly attached monitor/keyboard let you log in?

If it's truely crashed your only option is to do a reset. If it's just a network problem you will be able to log in using a directly attached monitor/keyboard.

If the system has done this multiple times I would recomend you back up what ever is stored on the system. Your hard drive may be dying or something on the motherboard may be going bad.

If HTTP, ping, and telnet are not working when it crashes you may have a bad network card or cable. Or you could have another computer on the network being given the same IP as the NAS box.

I recently had similar issues and the http interface worked but didnt show the drives and SMB completely stopped. I telnetted in and ordered a reboot and when it came back the system acted as if it suffered a power loss. The power supply checks out and no power managment features are enabled so this one apparently is an X file.
