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...
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

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.How frequently should the maintenance be run (defrag and balance)?
Yes all data are stored in one volume (no other choices as per the cloud service requirement)
Everything was done to prep for the Engyte service so I don't know if bit-rot protection is enabled. How/where can I find the info on the webportal of the NAS?
We have deleted up to the last 3 snapshots to make more disk space but is alway working on archiving data of of the NAS as soon we the external drive come in.
Shoud the maintenance done offline or it does not matter and also do you know approximately how long it will take in our case?
Following the defrag process - how do I know when it is complete? I checked the log from the local admin page and do not see record of it?
Thanks!
Hi,
Is there a way to stop the balancing process on the NAS? It is still running which affects the performance of the NAS.
