Title: Pink Lights
Post by: un1key on June 26, 2010, 07:03:47 AM
had a few problems accessing the nas and never found a solution, so pulled both drives and formatted then both, Rebuilt the raid and this time enabled FTP and telnet access, restored the data and at this point everything was working fine. Then installed twonky v6 and all was fine for about 8 hours then I restarted the NAS and got 2 pink lights that flashed blue and amber when the drive was accessed so pulled the drives and checked with seatools and spinrite no problems found, rebuilt the NAS again and the same problem occurs when twonkyv6 is installed but not if v4.14 is
I no its not supported but if someone could confirm what the pink lights mean i'm thinking that twonky might have run the nas out of memory

The pink lights are the result of both blue & amber LEDs being on simultaneously - as far as I am aware - the firmware does not use this to indicate a particular error status.

Well, you install an add-on, and then it breaks.  Seems obvious where the problem is, no? :)

No - you can get the pink lights with nothing but the standard firmware

The obvious thing to do would be to remove all your third party add-ons and make sure that NAS is functioning as expected. If all is OK, install your add-ons one at a time until something breaks. Then you have your answer. My money's on the third party add-ons.

Breaks everytime I install twonky but until the nas locked up a couple of weeks ago it had been working for months with a large media collection and no problems,

Seems Twonky made it go wonky.

Perhaps the size of your collection has reached a point where it's now broken. There's a reason it's not supported :)

No tried it with a library of 6 items, would make sense but it used to work and now doesn't!
