NAS crashes on large file copy
Hi! I recently discovered that my Reaynas 102 does not seem to handle moving files very well. If I try to move a ~200GB folder from one share to another on the same NAS, it eventually freezes up ...

So an MTU of 1600 would be better than 1500?
No. The packet per second reduction is marginal, so you are better off running standard ethernet (jumbo frames are commonly used, but are not part of the ethernet standard).

but I do believe the crashing and network errors is something that should be looked into.
I agree. JF might not improve performance, but if the feature is selected the NAS shouldn't fail.
In an ideal world I think it would. The CPU is weak so any job that it doesn't have to do should, in theory improve performance. I've left it at 1600 for now as I see an improvement in performance compared to 1500. It's not "huge" or anything but it's there. And while it might be trivial for copying single files here and there, I'd immagine it will actually save time when hundreds of gigabytes are copied.
And I'd like to file a bug report also.. Just because a feature might not improve performance if activated doesn't mean that it's OK that it's left broken. If Jumbo frames makes no difference and the feature can't be implementet properly it'd be better to just remove the choice to enable it.
