I have new N314 connected to my ESX5.1 server via NFS, when I powered up a guest os the NAS will lockup totaly with in 5 minutes. I have to power cuycle the NAS to get reconnected again.Any ideas??Thanks in advance Phillip

What version of ReadyNAS OS?What is the NFS thread count set to? Have you tried lowering the count to e.g. 2)?Do you have bitrot protection or snapshots enabled?Can you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

Version 6.2.2Not sure where to adjust the threads for NFS?Bitrot not enabled for this folder, I went ahead and turn it off and snapshot off for the other folders. I will send the logs but I do not see anything useful.I tried to run a Rsync backup to another nas device using a dedicated network and the performance for that was really slow. I am comparing this to Iomega ix4-300d devices. This one job usually takes less than 8 hours just took the ready san over 24 hours.Thanks for any help!!Phillip

Sorry I have not been back, I had a death in the family, I tried to send the logs but got a bounce back on the email? What would the correct email be?Thanks

It's in the "sending logs" faq in mdgm's signature the email address is mentioned.

When you get the time please try lowering the NFS thread count. A count of 16 is way to high. Please also answer my other questions.

What other Questions? The bit rot is disabled,
At this point I am doing my testing in my lab. I have an HP360g6 server running esxi5.1, I have two networks setup, one is just for the datastore network attaching to the NAS VIA GB switch with Jumbo frames, the other network is for workstations and server access. On the Datastore network I have the Ready NAS and Iomega NAS.
When I run the Rsync job between the NAS devices i am using the DATAstor network. On the Ready NAS I watch the through put of the Nics and I am only gettting 11MB max.

Thanks again for any help.

I forgot to mention I did drop the NFS threads down to 2.

Did you disable bit-rot protection before putting any data on the share?

That I can not say for sure. I created my new folder for the vmware files, is it turned on when you create a new folder?
