GUI and Files unavailable after sleep

Hey Everyone,

I’m looking for some help. The past few days every time I try and access my files on my NAS after it’s been sleeping for a while I can’t get to some of my files. At first it seems everything is normal when I connect via SMB but then I realized I could view a PDF in explorer but not open it without a corruption error. I went straight to the web GUI and it would not load until I unplugged and plugged it back in. Today it was having the same issue so I tested SSH and I was successful in connecting via SSH. I told it to “reboot -f” and it disappeared from the network and wouldn’t come back up until I physically unplugged it and plugged it back in. Now it’s acting normal again. Any ideas?
