ReadyNAS NV+ lockups
I have an NV+ with the latest firmware (4.1.8) and 4 2TB WD Green SATA II hard drives (WD20EARS) in an X-RAID configuration. I primarily use the NAS to store movies, music, and TV shows that everybod...
So I'm getting real discouraged with my NV+. It has worked OK for a couple of months, but recently it just started not responding for 10-20 seconds at a time -- we'd be watching a video while my daughter was streaming music... our video will stop and her music will start skipping, then it just starts working again.
Then out of nowhere it became completely unresponsive. I reboot it and it hangs on quota checks. If I leave my browser up and running it might connect to the page after about 15-20 minutes of loading. At one point I was able to navigate to the point where I could download the logs, and after another 15 minutes of waiting, it downloaded a zip file with 2 txt files inside, neither of which were actually the system logs that would show me any i/o errors or anything like that.
I'm very aggravated with my NAS and it's been constant work to keep it alive. I just double-checked the compatibility list, and although I was sure my drives were on there when I bought the NAS a year ago, they're not on there now. I have WD Caviar Green WD20EARS drives, and the closest drive on the list is WD Caviar Green WD20EARX.
Could this be causing all my issues? Does anybody else have constant issues like this with drives on the compatibility list?
