Bug Report: Firmware 6.4.0 Rsync Timeout
Hello Really one for Netgear support (posted here as I don't know how else to submit it). I use rsync to backup my ReadyNas 314 to an external eSATA drive. I had similar issues to others ...
Thanks BrianL
It took me a couple of days to be able to to do this at a non-critical time (the ReadyNAS is used all day every day in business).
I have done the update to the beta firmware.
No joy I'm afraid - if anything its worse, lots of io timeouts after 30 seconds. The --timeout=30 option is still being passed on the command line. No new options through the web interface to change that option or to remove it.
If anything this is a step back, as I'm no getting timeouts in places I did not get before. And as the beta release notes make it clear, rolling back does not seem to be an option.
More information:
Using ps I was able to get the command line, and then ran rsync to do my eSata backup, omitting the --timeout=30 option.
All works fine.
So the command line I used was:
rsync -v -8 --recursive --links --times --omit-dir-times --omit-link-times --devices --specials --modify-window=1 --delete --owner --group --acls /tmp/10219/data localhost::ESATA_HDD_4/
This works fine.
Suggestion: please allow us to change the timeout period. --timeout=30 is too short.
Hi quickly_now,
We will check on this one. For the meantime, check if the latest Beta Firmware (ReadyNASOS 6.4.1-T29 (Beta 2)) works fine.
Kind regards,
BrianL
NETGEAR Community TeamHave loaded that beta.
No joy.
--timeout=30 still passed on the command line.
Running rsync without that, its all Ok.
New beta does not solve it.
Hi quickly_now,
We will further check this and keep you posted for updates.
Kind regards,
