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...
have had to agree to Netgears remote access policy. For some reason the L2 guys revere the L3 guys like some kind of gods. Check this quote out 'I don’t have visibility of their queue but I have upped the priority and contacted the managers directly so I would hope soon but until assigned to an engineer I cannot talk to them directly to check.' They can't even speak to them? WTF kind of IT department is that? Their remote access policy is ridiculous so I have only agreed to it on my terms.
1. No SSH access through the Internet
2. They connect to my PC on a new standard user profile that ill delete after
3. I will be on the phone with them monitoring everything they do
4. No access to my data. I've created a dummy share, when I copy data into it they will see the unit crash. (I got around this by using a program called drive inventory which creates an excel file of all your files on the drive. I then removed the file names).
Hopefully this minimise risk to my systems and privacy. Although still utterly ridiculous and unnecessary. This should have been tested properly by Netgear.
