Two things... 1) Please contact Support via phone... they sit around all day wanting nothing more than to help you solve your issues! Use them! 2) Your original post could really use some detailed info to clear things up... it sounds like your running SbS on ReadyNAS -- can you confirm that? Can you give us details about which ReadyNAS you have, which version of SC you were running before, and the exact steps you took to get to where you are now? There is a known bug (https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14451) dealing with what I am guessing is your issue. The good news is that there's a large group of people working on solving this. The bad news, its not yet solved. Its close, but not there yet. (on a side note... I sincerely hope we NEVER change our software name again. its a huge pita that causes unbelievable problems!) -- Matt Wise ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Matt Wise's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13773 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69143 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
