Creating / Deleting large file crashes ReadyNAS

Ok, it seems a lot of people are having this issue and apparently it still hasn't been fixed in the ReadyNAS software.

I have posted the script below that will delete large files that are "stuck".  Be very careful with this script as you can probably screw things up big-time if you don't get it just right.  Mods, please delete if this is not appropriate to post here.

Script follows:

-------------------------

#!/bin/sh

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
  echo "no file"
  exit 1
fi
file="$1"

size=`stat --format='%s' "$file"`
step=1073741824
next=$(($size - $step))

while [ $next -gt 0 ]; do
  echo "trunc to $next"
  truncate -s$next -- "$file"
  sync
  next=$(($next - $step))
done
rm -- "$file"
