ReadyNas NV+ v2 fails to write beyond 90% capacity
I have a ReadyNAS NV+ v2 running firmware 5.37. It contains 4x2Tb drives in an XRAID array giving a total capacity of 5.4Tb. It's connected over a wireless network. I'm running WIndows 7 64 bit a...
I have 2 Readynas NV+ and 3 Readynas NV+ v2 units all with 4x2TB drives conected via a copper gigabit network.
All 3 of the NV+ v2 units exhibit the same symptoms you have described (I have tried WinXP 32bit and Win7 32 and 64bit).
Neither of the NV+ units exhibit the limitation.
When writing through either FTP or Windows Explorer file copy, the transfer halts and any further copy attempts fail.
In addition to the failed copy, mapped network drives (in windows explorer) report as disconnected for a while before reconnecting.
Once reconnected, I am able to read fine, delete fine, but not copy more until I have deleted space from the Readynas.
When attempting to copy the files again (or different files assuming my files were the cause), when reaching approx 500GB free space the copy fails as per before.
As for fragmentation being a cause, I have factory defaulted one of my NV+ v2 units and tried to directly copy (both FTP and windows explorer copy) more than 5TB of data to the drive and the same symptoms occur. Not sure if this helps anyone diagnose the fault.
