ReadyNAS 104 locking up, caused by the bit rot option?
Hello,
I recently purchased a ReadyNas 104, I updated the OS to 6.2.5 but I have this NAS freeze that happens a lot and the only way out is to pull the power plug.
After many tries I think I have a stable system but only because I disabled the "bit rot" options for all shares. I don't mind that bit rot slows down the NAS but I do mind that the only way out is by pulling the power cord because noting is responding anymore.
Thanks in advace.
So far for days I did not have any lockups.
The 2 things I did was disable the 'virus scanner' and disable any 'rot protection'

Which services and apps are you using?
SMB, UPnP, HTTP, HTTPS, Anti virus. No Apps.
It happened whan I tried to backup to an external USB drive. But I also have noticed that it is frozen when I get up in the morning. when ity had absolutely nothing to do.
The only difference appears to be "bit rot" protection that somehow brings the NAS into a complete freeze. Display does not respond, web site times out, no access ot the drives.
2 Hard disks WD Reds 4 TB.
I disabled bit rot on all my shares and it appears stable now.
What kind of data are you storing on the NAS?
