NV+ frequently hangs and slow FTP transfer speed
Hi everyone!
This has been ongoing for two years but, between moving three different houses and two different countries, I didn't really have the time to look into it and just endured it.
Basically, every now and then, my NV+ just hangs: I've first noticed while playing movies, it would hang for a few seconds and then resume playing.
It got worse little by little. Ever since these issues have been lasting for even a couple of minutes, I've also been able to notice that the enclosure itself is unresponsive (although it replies to ping) and pressing the power button wouldn't do anything.
I've tried to download the logs from the GUI but haven't been able to.
So, I'm not 100% sure this is the culprit, but it's being doing it ever since installing this https://rnxtras.com/addons/transmissionbt-readynas-4-sparc addon.
Around the same time, though, disk 3 died so I figured I might have jumped to the wrong conclusion: I've replaced disk 3 and added disk 4.
Still nothing, even removing the add on didn't do any good.
This weekend I happened to have some spare time, so first I've checked the free space on the system partition (867MB used), then and I've used WinSCP to access /var/log and download what's in there.
Turn out that syslog is 361634KB and daemon.log 267363KB: both are full of transmissionBT useless information (Could not connect to tracker and all this kind of rubbish).
I have now deleted the two big files and removed transmissionBT for good, now it seems be more stable - but it's still hanging.
I have the logs available on dropbox if anyone cares to take a look (the archive is 33MB) and see whether the cause might be something other than that add on.
On a side note, ever since upgrading to RAIDiator 4.1.14, I cannot transfer over FTP faster than 1.2MB/s (when I'm lucky) to my desktop computer (the only one connected with a gigabit NIC). Should I downgrade?
Thank you! :D

- Saw this one on the logs:
Disk /dev/hde doesn't contain a valid partition table
this is drive 2. Can you check it with vendor diagnostic tools - WD Lifeguard - Will do over the weekend, thank you!

Without looking at the logs that would simply indicate to me that this disk is most likely the parity disk. I assume you started out with two disks using X-RAID in which case disk 2 would be the dedicated parity disk with no partition table on it.
If you can send me the logs I can have a look at them if you like.
