NV+ V2 stalling when 80%+ full (20047616)
i've recently purchased one of the Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ V2 units and have become very unhappy with it. it started out ok and could copy files to it at good rate, now that the unit is over 80% full i'v...
Hi...
I moved to ext3 couple of months back and this seemed to resolve my issues.
However I have now had a drive failure. On replacing the failed drive the unit will get stuck on 'RAID sync started on volume C.' What then happens is the light for 'no.2' bay starts flashing, even though it is No.1 bay that is out.
The GUI reports the volume as 'redundant' but only 3 of the 4 green lights are on the icon (?). After a restart of the unit *it does not mount my volume and refuses to* - so I have no access to any of my data.
To resolve this it is necessary to remove my new disk and restart the unit again. It then comes back saying 'unprotected' but I can at least access my data.
This unit is 100% stock apart from switching to ext3. I suggest somebody looks into whether using this causes issues for DR scenario. Seems to suggest from my experience this may interfere with this.
Netgear support told me they tested this problem on a unit in their offices and couldn't re produce the problem. Clearly this was lies!
Oh also my time machine stopped working when I went to ext3.
