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.

It's definitely a problem with this firmware version. I saw elsewhere that somebody used the wrong size variable, and ReadyShare just can't handle files larger than 2 GB in size.
Until this bug gets fixed, I have reverted to 1.0.2.32.
This is a shame, since 1.0.2.36 fixes a security vulnerability. Unfortunately, I really need access to my large files, so I don't have a choice but to revert, and wait for a new (fixed) firmware.
I knew something was going on, that is why I can't understand why someone would start to ask me if my disk would be full. Unnessasary questions, I would not have ask this question if I saw there was!
Thanks for confirming this problem, hope they solve this quickly because it is pretty irritating!

That's easy to explain. When your problem description says things
like, "I can't copy big files anymore to the disk," and fails to define
"big", then what should a reasonable reader conclude? One might
conclude that the person asking the (information-free) question really
doesn't know much. In such a situation, a request like 'define "big"'
is not an "unnecessary question".
With my weak psychic powers, I have no idea what you know and what
you don't know. All I know is what you write, and if that stops with
"big files", then I claim that you should expect some "unnecessary"questions.
The size of the file is irrelevant! If I would have named a filesize would you then have known the solution? I could copy 1 gb, but not bigger then 2 gb and I don’t think either is really big! It is like saying, I can’t get big things through my door and then someone asks "how big".
I knew this had to be a bug, so the question of “define big” is irrelevant to me! When I drive fast, I hear a rambling in my car and then a person asks “define fast”. Irrelevant, a person knows it is not slow driving and they know what the person means!
I don’t have to have psychic powers to know that you didn’t know what klwong36 and avtella knew :smileytongue:. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate that you responded, but I have been in the IT business for more then 20 years, so trust me when I say, if I can’t fix it then it must be a bug! Otherwise I would have never posted something here and I would have mentioned the file size!:catwink:
Thanks a lot. Going back to the Firmware 1.0.2.32 fixed the problem. Hope Netgear will fix the problem with a new version...
