Readynas 104 drops out when copying to it
I have a readynas 104 configured with four 4tb drives in raid 5. I've managed to copy about 6tb onto the device without issue but now whenever I go to copy something onto the box, lets say a single 4...
Just got a Ready NAS 104 in October with 4 brand new Seagate 4TB NAS Drives. I'm just testing out the NAS for last few weeks and when I started to actually load some data onto it (1TB of data) I got the issue where it dropped out during last bit of the copy (as reported in this thread) resulting in me having to pull the power of the NAS to get it going again although I could ping it just fine.
Now the antivirus was on and I had a folder with 30GB worth of pictures videos that was set to take daily snapshots for 9 days. Turned off the antivirus, turned off the snapshots on all shares and deleted all the snapshot data.
Now I'm trying to get this NAS to above 70% capacity to see if I get this issue again but so far I have 4.34TB of data with 2.92TB (total capacity on NAS = 7.26TB) free and haven't had the drop out issue occur again or come back. What I am doing is copying the 1TB of data I originally tried copying to the NAS over and over again till I get to about 90% capacity to see if anything odd happens.
Some changes I made from my original attempt are that I went from using the standard Windows 7 explorer to transfer the file and instead use Teracopy.
I am Running Raid 10 using SMB.
Been doing these transfers for the last 2 days and am on the 5th copy of the 1TB of data and so far no issues. But I will wait till I get past 70% capacity ad see what happens from there.
When the 6.1.5 is released will the ready NAS automatically alert us or will this be an update we need to manually request it?
PS. I haven't contacted netgear support yet but will if the issue comes back.
