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...
Hello everyone,
ReadyNAS 6.1.5 is officially released on the support site, below is a link to the new firmware which includes BTRFS changes that have been implemented to resolve some of this issues mentioned this thread. Specifically, devices that experience performance issues or non-responsive behavior when consuming the majority of capacity (> ~70% ).
To take advantage of this update, you must format your existing volume after the update is applied, this will allow ReadyNASOS to create a new filesystem using a more optimum configuration (Warning: Factory Default will wipe existing data and settings from your ReadyNAS). After that the new filesystem configuration will now have a larger node size that can accommodate higher file system usage on systems with 512Mb RAM such as the ReadyNAS 104
I understand that this is an inconvenience however, it is the only way to make this type of change.
To upgrade your NAS to 6.1.5:
1. download the from the links below. Extract all the files from the downloaded zip file.
2. From the ReadyNAS UI go to System > Settings and click “Install Firmware”.
3. Browse to the .img file and open it.
4. Select upload
5. Once the upload is complete, you will need to reboot the system
6. For user experiencing the above issues we are recommending a factory default to get the new file system. As I stated earlier, please make sure you backup first as your system will be wiped clean
