Can someone please help? After some issues about a year ago, Thecus gave me firmware version 2.01.10.6, which took care of my problems. Looking at the state of available firmware, this looks to be about as good as any.
My issue is that after the NAS loses power, it doesn't automatically come back on after the power comes back, which kind of sucks. Is there some setting I can change manually to fix this? I have ssh access to the Thecus.
Thanks,
Stephen

This is normally a bios setting. I haven't fitted a rgb header to mine so can't confirm (or deny) that the thecus offers this option.
Personally I wouldn't want the device powering back on automatically after a power loss. It could make a bad situation worse, for example.
I'd much rather manually start the thecus once I knew the power wasn't going to fail again. Raid arrays do not take kindly to power loss.
really you should look at investigating a ups.

It's a journaled raid 5. It should be very tolerant of having the power cut; the worst that should happen is that the latest journaled data gets lost, but it shouldn't get corrupted.
It's important for me because the NAS is in a remote location, and sometimes it's difficult for me to turn it back on. It is on a small UPS as well, but that doesn't help during an extended outage. I know it used to power back on by itself in earlier releases.

OK. I've had a re-build kick off because of a power failure, but then I am generally pretty unlucky  |
