Minimserver 0.72 crashes nightly on ReadyNas Ultra+

[rweten]

Simon, I've recently been having a similar problem to the one described above. Minimserver/Minimwatch crashes after I've not used it for several hours (e.g. overnight). There are two different behaviours associated with this:

1. (Minor crash) - here it seems that Minimwatch encounters a problem of some sort because it cannot see the server. I have tried stopping and restarting Minimwatch, and even restarting my Win7 PC, but the behaviour (greyed out icon in the notification area) persists.

However, I can still access the server via my other control points (Kinsky on iPad), though I cannot see Minimserver in Kinsky on the Win7PC.

Also, I can get into Frontview on my NAS (ReadyNAS NV+), and can use that to stop Minimserver and restart it again. Once that's done, the problem clears and Minimwatch can see the server again.

2. (Bigger crash) - here the behaviour with Minimwatch is the same, but my control points cannot now see the server, regardless of whether we are talking about the Win7 PC or the iPad.

Worse, I can't get into Frontview on the ReadyNAS, so can't do anything to stop/start Minimserver on the NAS.

However, I can still browse the files/folders on the NAS. So it looks as though it is just Minimserver/Minimwatch/Frontview that is the problem.


One other thought that might give a clue to the source of the problem - Minimserver was working well until I started using a wired connection to the network on my PC (I was doing a big tidy-up of the library and needed more bandwidth). The Minimserver problems seem to have started since I have been doing that. I have noticed anyway that Minimwatch can't contact the server when I'm using the wired connection, and I have to switch back to using wireless to be able to use it.

Hope you can help,
Richard
