R7800 Readyshare not enough space
Hello, I have a R7800 router with a 3 tb WD harddisk attached to it! And all of a sudden I notice that I can't copy big files anymore to the disk. I get the weird message "There is not enough space o...

On Windows 7 it gives this error message on Server 2016 it doesn't and it looks like it deletes it but then when you do F5 or go back and in the directory again it is still there!
I am getting more and more sorry for buying Netgear again after all this time!
i use voxels firmware. it is improved build of stock firmware. works like a charm. he corrected many ng's problems and with readyshare [samba] and other bugs too. works much faster and hw accelerated nat is working too.

According to the message (picture), the disk is almost full (750GB
free/2.72TB total). Do you have some evidence that the disk is not
almost full?

It's not especially strange, if you actually have filled the disk.
750 GB freespace, so no the disk not not full at all. Besides when I connect it to a pc can copy anything to it! It has to do with the router, but what? I would not be so foolish to post something if the harddisk would exactly be full :manwink:
Thank you for the reply!> 750 GB freespace, so no the disk not not full at all.
Define "big", as in, "I can't copy big files anymore to the disk."
> [...] Besides when I connect it to a pc can copy anything to it!
Define "anything".

Lame software? The ReadySHARE file sharing on these routers
apparently relies on a big pile of freeware (of unknown quality) running
on the router's GNU/Linux OS. It's supposed to work with a wide variety
of disk formats or file systems, and a wide variety of file-sharing
protocols. I don't use it, so I know nothing, but there seem to be
plenty of complaints about it in these forums. (I did try some simple
things once, which failed.) I assume that it gets tested about as well
as most of the software in these routers, which seems to be not at all.
Perhaps it's not all a pile of junk, but you couldn't prove it by me.
If you have a support agreement with Netgear, then you might complain
directly.

That sounds to me like a clue. If I were in your place, I'd try
loading older firmware. New firmware causing new problems seems to be a
characteristic at Netgear.Big files like 2 or 3 gb. I could copy a small file like a jpg to it! With anything I mean anything so big files small files, at least the files I wanted to copy (acronis backup images). I would not try to copy something to a hd that would be to big!
The router I mean the router not particularly the software, but something happened for sure after the upgrade. Maybe it is a bug, I don't know but all I know is before the upgrade everything worked fine! And I did reset to the default settings!
I was surpriced the read that you have to pay extra to get support for your router through e-mail or calling! Seems to me that when you have support you should get it and not pay for it extra!
