Newbie to ReadyNAS
Hi all, I am new to ReadyNas 314E, firmware 6.5.1 (we can't update to the latest firmware as the cloud service app is not compatible with 6.5.2) and i have some questions regarding maintenance re...
Which cloud app is that?
RAID-0 is not recommended. If a disk fails all data on the RAID-0 volume is lost. Better to have a single volume per disk if you must use RAID-0. That way only the data on the volume that uses the disk would be lost if a disk fails.
Scrub is pointless with RAID-0. Defrag should be scheduled as should balance. You don't want to use the export option, and the destroy option would destroy all your data (you do have to confirm that you want to do this).
As for your NAS using RAID-5
Before considering the possibility of a filesystem issue there'd be several other things to check first.
Which services are you running under System > Settings > Services?
Which apps are you running?
Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
Cloud service is Egnyte.
I wish i would have done it right the first time so that i don't have to go back to change the RAID configuration. The NAS is in production now and data is about 1 Terabyte in size. Maybe I will wait until Christmas time when everyone is off and I will reconfigure it to Raid 1. There are 4 terabyte drives so assuming, i can make it as Raid 1, right?
As for Raid 5 - services running are http, https, ssh, Upnp, ReadyDLNA, smb (will need this protocol on for sure)
No apps are listed under the Apps tab - so assuming none
mdgm- is it possible to send you the log directly rather than posting it up on this public discussion forum?

Your data volume is starting to get pretty full. Also it doesn't appear you've done any volume maintenance, certainly not recently (i.e. defrag, balance etc.)
This system was setup on 6.1.1 back in 2013. If you haven't ever run an volume maintenance that could certainly lead to performance issues as the volume fills up.
So you have snapshots enabled for your ELC share. Is that the share where all/most of the data is stored?Did you also have bit-rot protection enabled on this share?
It seems Egnyte creates its own snapshots? I can see Egnyte snapshots going as far back as May 2015.
