File Manager inside Readynas
It would be nice to be able to do file manipulations directly inside ReadyNAS GUI.
We have millions of files on our ReadyNAS that come from security cameras and it takes hours to delete them over LAN access with high LAN load during this period.
I think it would be much faster to select the files to be deleted inside the ReadyNAS GUI and then let it do the job.
Any chance for implementing this feature ?
Thanks.

- firmware V4 (coming soon) has SSH shell console access, it could be done quickly using that.
- Since you really doesn't want us to use SSH shell console, I must agree that a file manager would be a nice addition. Deleting small files from Vista is extremely slow (had to delete approx. 32000 files, took almost 2 days).....

That's absurdly slow. I guess Vista for some reason pulls each file over the net before it deletes it. Could you try another protocol?geirvb wrote: Deleting small files from Vista is extremely slow (had to delete approx. 32000 files, took almost 2 days).....
Does Vista copy the files in the local trashcan during deletion?- yes, unless you hold down the shift key when choosing delete.
Having said that.....that's normally only the case for local files. Normally remote files don't go via the trashcan. Hmmm. - There's a Recycle Bin feature that you can enable on the ReadyNAS. Take a look at the CIFS share access tab.
- +1 on the internal file manager.
- The fun thing is that I get great performance on the ReadyNAS doing write (33 MBs) and read of larger files (> 300 MB).
So what did I do? By accident I copied the temp directory from an old machine to the NAS during backup. I then entered that directory from my Vista machine (connected with a 1 GB switch), selected all files (took forever), the pressed shift+delete. And waited ....... geirvb wrote: So what did I do?

Does the shift act as a toggle, ie. did it switch on trash can mode which is normally off for network drives?- -1 for the Web GUI file manager, not because I would care (it's easy to ignore) but because the Jedis' time is too valuable to fix Vista's mistakes. Get a decent operating system that is not overstrained by network drives.
