So this morning, we could not save to the DNS-323. A popup indiacted that we do not have permission to do so. Also noticed the activity light is continuosly blinking. Using the admin interface to do a reboot did not resolve the issue. Using the power button to do a hard reboot allowed us to save and copy files to the unit again. But, the middle activity light is still continuosly blinking. Unplugging the network cable from the rear of the unit kills the light. So how do we tell if there what is causing the blinking light? Could this be a sign of failure on the unit (since we got the permission denied error earlier today)? Most importantly, how do we fix the blinking light?

The Blinking Activity LED is and indication of activity on the DNS-323 LAN port. If you unit is now working after rebooting I do not think you have anything to worry about.

That's politically correct for saying "You may lose data soon, but we just KNOW you keep backups someplace else. So it's OK, don't worry" But hey what do I know. The DNS-323 is a flawless device. Nothing wrong with it. Nope...not a chance... ::)

Actually good data processing practise dictates that you do make back ups - if you don't then you're the one responsible when data gets lost, not the manufacturer of the piece of equipment that failed (whether it be DLink or not).
