Something else weird is now happening, which could be a drive failing or a firmware problem for all I know.
I'm using JBOD mode and drive 4 has 2.12TB used, 619GB free of 2.72TB, but if I try to copy anything to it the transfer rate slows right down then I get a "disk full" error. I've tried with 2 different PCs and with both direct file copying via Windows Explorer / TeraCopy, and using ViceVersa Pro backup software. The other 3 drives have about 200GB free each and I have no trouble copying files to them.
All 4 drives are backed up to individual drives via a USB caddy connected to a PC. I previously used drive 4 to backup drive 3 and it was about 95% full before I deleted everything and started using it as a data drive in its own right, so it was definitely working OK until recently.
It occurs to me that 2.12TB is close to the 2.2TB limit of an MBR partition, which would make sense if this drive was in my PC but I have no idea how this is handled by the ReadyNAS OS using EXT4. Perhaps I should format drive 4 anyway and restore the files, unless anyone has any suggestions?
