When I put on Kinsky tonight, again Minimserver was not to found. I logged on to the ReadyNAS and it turns out that Minimserver was stopped (no green light). The check box was still ticked. I had to uncheck the box and save this which stated that Minimserver was stopped. I then ticked the box and saved again and everything was back up and running. I have had this happen before. Is it possible for the NAS to stop the service on its own? The NAS is never shutdown at any time.

Cheers, Bill.

This is a known issue on the ReadyNAS. There is a something that causes the ReadyNAS to terminate MinimServer automatically at 6.25 am every morning. This might be caused by having a daily backup configured, but this isn't completely clear. See this thread for more information. Are you running a daily backup on the ReadyNAS?

The shutdown would explain the problem. I only carry out a weekly backup and dont have much else installed on the NAS that I can think would cause this problem. This only started a few months ago.

Cheers, Bill.
