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...
this is the worst thing I have ever owned! it genuinely is. This is a total joke now.
Initially I had the 80% full issue. Support said it isn't an issue. So I have moved to ext3, resolved the issue.
I am now stuck on 3 disks because it is shite (won't re-build the array - doesn't even give me a decent reason! And on restart the volume disappears..). All my disks are perfect - I've tested them independently at length.
Now I have tried updating the firmware. What has happened is the unit is stuck on 'installing addons'. It won't get any further.
I have tried an os- reinstall but this does not fix the issue.
So now I cannot even use my unit! :) Fantastic stuff. Anyone looking to buy one of these (or by extension *any* readynas) I would strongly recommend you avoid it. My experience has been horrendous.
All I have done is change the file system to ext3 - this unit has had nothing else changed on it at all - apart from enabling root access.
the unit isn't duff. the software is. they can't have tested this can they!
