fvbackup crashes, stalling further backup, disables graceful shutdown
ReadyNAS 314 with Firmware 6.9.5 Hotfix 1 I have a problem with backup jobs crashing and freezing ReadyNas from time to time. These jobs back up various ReadyNas shares to a portable USB drive. ...
I believe the hightlighed error is linked to the USB drive.
I'd test the USB drive in a PC. You can use vendor tools (seatools or lifeguard) and/or just try to copy files to and from the drive. Personally I'd do the full erase test in addition to the extended non-destructive test.
Thank you for your response. That was my first hunch too. I might have forgotten to note in my original posting that I have been getting this for more than a error, sporadically.
So during a year of troubleshooting, I have tried out the following already, on the USB disk:
(1) As ReadyNAS renders the USB disk readonly, I would connect it to a windows PC and simply clear the code, reconnect it back to ReadyNAS. After that it will work fine for a while.
(2) Completely erase and reformat the USB disk using a Windows PC and then connect it back to ReadyNAS. After that it will work fine for a while.
(3) Replace the USB disk with a brand new one of a different brand. After that it will work fine for a while.
As I get the same symptoms back irrespective of what I do, I tend to think that it is not related to the USB disk.
Moreover, I have been running the same backup's for several years now on the same kind of USB disks. I started getting it only about a year back; after one ReadyNAS OS update. I am not sure which one.
If I may ask what exactly makes you think that the error is related to the USB drive? Is it because of the reference to ufsd?

Yes. Paragon's driver set is called "Universal File System Drivers", and they use ufsd in a variety of places. https://download.paragon-software.com/doc/Paragon_NTFS-HFS_for_Linux_9.5_User_Manual.pdf

This might be a result of an improper ejection (which of course is a given if the NAS crashes with the drive mounted).

I would definitely test it then.
I am sorry, but I do not understand the diagnosis.
I have tried a brand new USB drive - I get the same error on that too. Please note, the error doesn't happen frequently; only once in 2-3 months.
Not just that, I have other backup jobs backing up other shares on the same USB disk. Those never fail. How can it be a disk issue if it shows up for only one backup job?
This makes me think that the issue is not with the USB disk per se.
Thanks.
