File Move/Copy Leads to Lockup
Hi - Thanks to support on the forums, my ReadyNAS 102 is working pretty well now. However, I am migrating all data from a DLINK device, which has performed well, and running into problems. ...
Sounds very similar to a problem I had (maybe still have) with our NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 v2 (Model: RND2000-100NAS).
Cloud backup to the vault would cause the unit to 'lock up', no access to the drive over the network, could ping it, but not log on via the web interface.
Had to pull power to get it back to life.
I don't know the root cause, but was able to find ceretain PDF files that when accessed in any way beyond maybe blind copying, would crash the operating system on the device.
I think even right-clicking and pulling up 'properties' would crash the unit.
The PDF files would open fine when copied to a PC.
I did a search-and-destroy on the files, vault backups have been fine since.
I think this may have happened to me again following swapping a drive.
