Network drives unmount for no reason

Martin,

Are the IP addresses of the device the same when you have to re-map them?

Mmmm. I'm taking a guess here, but it sounds like an issue with the credentials as stored in the credential manager (type that in search box). Are the credentials Persistence set to 'Enterprise'?

Hi !

Well, i have a pretty annoying problem with my network drives.

I have a NAS QNAP TS-469 Pro in RAID 5 (4 x 2tb) and also a 3tb USB3 external drive connected into the NAS itself.

After a couple of days both drives that i mapped ( QNAP & USB3 Drive) just unmount for some strange reason. I can still access them thru QNAP'S file manager but they are not only disconnected in "My Computer" but offline. I have to delete the mapped drive and remap for them to come online.

I have tried many times to get the sleep mode off the USB3 drive but WD just forces the drive to go to sleep whatever i try. Only thing that work's is a little script that writes 2kb data on the drive every 6 minutes or so. Not only SMB'S that goes offline but everything.

But i don't think that's the problem cause the NAS does the same thing and it never goes into sleep mode.

Does someone have any input ?

Thanks !

Martin
