Readynas Duo crashes (or hangs) on big filecopy

My Readynas DUO crashes consistently while copying a large file. The first time I copied a video file (300MB) from one place on the NAS to another (on the NAS) by means of a NFS share and Nautulus on my Ubuntu PC. To eliminate nfs I copied the file on the readynas command line from the same origin to the same destination. During the copy I loose all connections from my PC to the NAS, so it is not clear if the system crashes or hangs in some way. The readynas responds correctly on the power down button on the front of the DUO. I cannot ping the NAS from anywhere so the network is completely lost. The only thing to do is power down with the button.

In the messages file the following line is present:

May 28 20:32:38 netgear kernel: rxS1(00ca0000),rxS0(008005ee)

I have seen the same messages several times in the messages file: sometimes it occurs just before the system hangs but not always.
Once I have seen this message appear (in tail -f /var/log/messages) immediately followed by the hang (or crash). At that time there was hardly any network activity so it seems clear to me that the filecopy just started before that is the cause of the hang.

My Smart data of the two disks show the following information:

The first disk has a high Hardware ECC Recovered (always has been high).
The second disk seems to have a Raw Read Error Rate where it was 0 (I think).

Otherwise I don't see any strange things in the log files.

Does anybody know what could be the reason of my problems?
In other posts this behavour is also described but I think I can rule out any network related problem. To me it seems a disk problem.
What can I do to confirm and remedy this problem? After a resync and deleting of some files I can not initiate this problem anymore.

  • Thanks mdgm,
    Yes Duo, and after figuring and reinstalling the ssh, have logged into root, and get
    <8% full inodes df-i
    < 24% MB on df -h

    Tailed the syslog and seeing a lot of kernel: rxS1: ..... rxS0.... lines, not sure if they are significant, will try a bit file xfer and see if anything else shows.
    Copied 27M - ok more rxS1 's
    Tried much bigger file, died after a few seconds. Did manage to get one more tail syslog, but then a few seconds after, its dead. No ping even.

    Ideas?
  • I reinstalled the software and did not have the error again.
