Disk Full - Does old data purge??
Newly registered user.
I am using the Duo v2 as a storage device for IP cameras that are run on an NVR. My question is; when the 3TB HDD gets full, what happens? My guess is that I will be notified (I set up notifications). What I would like is, when new data is sent to the NAS the old data is automatically purged out. Is there a setting for this, or will the NAS just stop when it reaches FULL?
Thanks

- The NAS looks like a network hard drive. As it gets near 90% full, performance drops due to fragmentation. Eventually, you can't copy any more data.
So there is nothing automatic here. - I have just managed to fill mine totally, it is now 100% full, and now cannot access i to delete stuff, so it will carry on after reaching 90%, the only issue now is that without dumping the RAID and loosing all my data, I cannot access the RAID to dlete only the files that I no longer need to then be able to access the RAID again! not fun...
- I agree. I'm ditching Netgear NAS. POS!
How are you trying to access it to delete stuff? Are you able to run Frontview?jamessawle wrote: I have just managed to fill mine totally, it is now 100% full, and now cannot access i to delete stuff, so it will carry on after reaching 90%, the only issue now is that without dumping the RAID and loosing all my data, I cannot access the RAID to dlete only the files that I no longer need to then be able to access the RAID again! not fun... - Managed to get it sorted, one of the net gear admins PM'd me and sorted it out about 1 hour later by granting him access to the NAS box over the internet, quite cool really and very grateful.
Don't know what Frontview is?
James - Frontview is the web administration interface
- Never used it, where do you get it from?
- Thanks mdgm, but this was not what you used to sort my problem out yesterday I presume as I tried to remove stuff from my RAID by using this page.... I just was unaware that this was called 'FrontView'.
- https://ip.address.of.nas/admin is different than the default https://ip.address.of.nas (which is the same as https://ip.address.of.nas/shares).
I would have suggested enabling http as a protocol on some of the shares (via frontview), and then deleting some files/folders via the shares web interface.
Though of course having mdgm fix it for you remotely is the best...
