Disks wil not allocate available space when upgrading disks
I have a RND4000 (ReadyNAS NV+ v1), which I have used with 4 1TB disks until recently. I replaced the disks one at a time with four Western digital disks: "WB Blue, 2 TB", Model: WD20EZRZ. Altho...
1) If the resync to sync the disks sector by sector is still in process that may slow things down a bit. You are using old hardware and the resources needed to run things would have gone up a bit over time. The NV+ essentially uses pretty much the same hardware (has same CPU and RAM) as the NV we released back in February 2006. Note there is a warning for some options that it's best to use a UPS if you use it.
2) It uses the web browser's language. If you don't want to change the web browser's language install another web browser and set that one to use English and use that. Our current models give you the option to override the language used in the UI.
You were right:-)
A firmware update did indeed fail to "upgrade" to 4 Kb block size:-(
A "factory reset" was as instructed used.
This made ALL of the disk space allocated:-)
I am still copying data from temporary storage media, such as a 3TB Sata disk.
Questions:
1) Is it normal to get a transfer speed of of about 7 MB/s, copying data to the NAS as above?
I deactivated "journaling", which slightly increased the data copying rate.
2) The new firmware "Localized, and set the language in the User Interface to Swedish".
Sure, I live in Sweden, and speak Swedish.
But....
I do not want the User Interface in the ReadyNAS frontview- connected with my browser- to use Swedish.
The translation is often "corny", and a bit hard to understand.
The English user interface is crystal clear.
I hate when installation routines localize an application based on my location, or OS language, without ASKING me for the prefferred language.
And above all, thereafter NOT giving you a choice to change the UI language.
Do I have to edit some obscure Linux text file -which I can not get access to- to remedy this?
I am not on about the language "used by users", but only the UI language.
Sure, i can cope with it.
As said before, I have had no problems for the last 8,5 years: with a Beta release:-)
I am fully satisfied with your solution to my problem, except this small "glitch", regarding the language in the UI:-)
Thank you!
