Sounds like I'm going to have to remove all the data before I can fix it correct?
I'm a bit new to this, but how do I convert the file format to ext3? Is that done within the web interface?
Thanks
for me i did the below to get it to work better for me (after removing/backing up data on the drives)
1) Update firmware to 5.3.7
2) in the webGUI under System -> Settings -> Performance untick "Enable disk write cache"
3) use enable root ssh addon http://www.readynas.com/?p=4203
4) ssh into nas and edit /etc/fstab (vi /etc/fstab)
change: EXT4 to EXT3 for mountpoint /c and save file (:wq)
5) reboot
6) mkfs.ext3 -m 0 /dev/c/c
7) tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/c/c
8) reboot
9) copy files to nas
effectivly that's what it summates to of all of what i've done to the device since getting it to get it to the point today where i could fill it untill it had ~30mb left free
still have an issue with delays in starting to copy larger files to the drive when it's 85%+ full, but it let me fill the drive.
