ReadyNAS Balance and ESXI hosts
Model ReadyNAS 4312 (did not have that in Model selection, when creating this discussin). Firmware 6.7.5 *My "setup" ESXi 6.0 EMC SAN for Production Servers (10GB Base-T) Readynas 4312 is use...
Just an update, since I really dont like when people dont update a discussion.
On firmeware 6.8.0, and have had a Balance and defrag without issues. (so it seems Netgear has fixed the issue IMO)
Well I did 2 balancing within a week, the second was really only a test to see if the "issue" would happen again, and it did.
I first did a balance by suggestion from Netgear support.
I will do some testing and disable NIC's on my next balance, I will post updates.
Metadata allocation is a bit high. Are you using bit rot protection, compression, etc?
You should disable the quotas on the volume (if you don't have any quotas on the shares).
If you're running databases, maybe you need a faster volume, like RAID10.
That said, I still don't see the connection between the balance and your ESXi hosts.
