August 18, 201213 yr My server crashed last night & I'm trying to figure out why. I was moving some files around and renaming some others when writes became very very very slow (more then a minute to change a file name). About an hour after this happened I was streaming something and had lots of buffering (which has never happened before). When I tried to check the server I couldn't access the web interface nor could I telnet to the console. The shares were still accessible so I used filezilla to ftp the movie I wanted to watch to my htpc and left the server alone. A couple of hours after that I still couldn't access the server but a couple of the drive lights were still flashing so I figured it was doing something. I left it running. In the morning the drive lights were out but I still couldn't access the server so I turned off the power. After powering up everything looks file. Two questions: 1) what can I check to try to figure out what happened? 2) The renaming & moving I was doing was to files that were likely on the cache drive. Is that a bad idea (ie, should I run MOVER before doing any file access)? Thanks in advance.

The trouble with the first suggestion is that I couldn't telnet into my server. I really wish there was a way to have the syslog written to my flashdrive so I'd have something to look at after a crash.
