"Not enough space on NAS..."

The frontview home page tells you the amount of space used on the volume.

For instance "Volume C: Online, X-RAID2, X disks, YY% of ZZZZ GB used"

What does yours say?

Volume C: Online, RAID Level 0 , Single disk, 0% of 1845 GB used
Volume D: Online, RAID Level 0 , Single disk, 0% of 1845 GB used

OK, so the volumes are there and are empty. What share are you writing to?

Errmm ha, only the normal folders are showing so assumed they automatically fill up on both..

You mean backup and media? Or something else? Since you are using two Raid 0 volumes, each share is on one specific volume.

I don't recall off hand how to tell which share is on which volume (my 3 NAS are all set up with one volume).

Assuming you are writing to folders that are listed in the "shares" list, maybe you should open a support case.

Yeah the media folders (music/video) Basically I'm just dragging a folder from my main computer to the NAS, so I don't have to have my computer on when just wanting to listen to music or stream films to the XBMC.

It seems strange that it only seems to be files bigger than 5gb though..

Where are you seeing this error message? On the NAS (logs, Frontview, RAIDar)? Or on your PC when trying to copy over?

If it's on the NAS, I suspect it's actually the root volume that's full, not the data volumes. This issue can arise when a log file goes nuts and starts to fill up the root which is only 4 GB.

If you're familiar with linux and have SSH installed, you can check the status of the root volume by issuing the df -h command:

ReadyNAS:~# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0              4.0G  362M  3.5G  10% /
tmpfs                  16K     0   16K   0% /USB
/dev/c/c              2.7T  207G  2.5T   8% /c

In the above example, /dev/md0 is the root volume (indicated by / under the "Mounted on" column) and /dev/c/c is my data volume (2.7 TB) mounted on /c.

If you're not familiar with linux, contact support and they should be able to help.

Further to my message above, can you also post some additional details -

- Version of RAIDiator on your NAS (4.1.8, etc.)
- Client OS (Windows XP/7, Mac, etc.)
- Protocol used for transfer (CIFS/SMB, AFP, FTP, etc)

I'm using:
4.1.8,
PC Win7 64bit,
and basically just dragging and dropping like this screen grab shows..

Seem to have got it working now... I created two new folders on the root of the drives c:\music and d:\movies instead of putting them into the media folder that is already setup by default.
Its now letting me transfer the full 1tb of data (although rather slow at 13 m/b second and its connected directly onto my LAN port on the computer :-/ )

Cheers for your help guys!
