QNAP NAS Community Forum

This morning I was greeted with two emails from my qnap:

Date/Time: 07/28/2020 01:10:14 am
Level: Warning
The system was not shut down properly last time.

Date/Time: 07/28/2020 01:13:15 am
Level: Warning
[Mirror Disk Volume: Drive 1 2] The file system is not clean. It is suggested that you go to [Storage Manager] to run "Check File System".

These messages are typical of an unmanaged shut down (power failure). This is rare, however, since my qnap is on a UPS and, if such things do happen, I am greeted by a powered off unit—which was not the case today. No indications of a power failure were found anywhere else, either in my computer or household.

Any ideas what may have generated the warnings? Thanks.

are you sure the nas does not occasinally crash and reboot ?

I've not seen it in 6+ years but I guess there's a first time for everything. Looking at the system log, I found "system started" between the warnings:

Warning 07/28/2020 01:13:14 AM System 127.0.0.1 localhost [Mirror Disk Volume: Drive 1 2] The file system is not clean. It is suggested that you go to [Storage Manager] to run "Check File System".

About an hour prior to this, a scheduled AV scan started but there was no notification that it completed.The scans normally take about 25 minutes. Is it likely the AV caused the crash?

I haven't had any such issues with my 3 QNAP NAS (419p+,853BU,951X) but there seems to be quite a few with spontaneous reboots

If it only happened once so far, I wouldn;t worry too much

I'll keep an eye on it. FWIW, my QTS is relegated to security updates only, so it isn't the newest version (4.3.3.1315).

Thanks.
