Hello,
I permit myself to respond that you will never had a good response from Netgear on this problem.
They know it : it exists from several years now, there are post in 2009, 2010 of the same problem.
New versions of OS have never change anything.
When you use esx with these materials in Iscsi or in NFS (i tried the 2), you'll always have problem.
Just now i deleted a 2 TB vmdk on one of my netgear nfs datastore, i stopped the only one vm before, the checkbox is uncheked and i have the probleme,
Waiting during 10 to 20 minutes before the file is deleted (you can see in WebUI the free space that is growing), i said myself "i'll google to see if something has changed previous year", find your post i knew that nothing changed and i think nothing will nether change because they don't mind.
I don't know if it's only some models or alls but i have 6 readynas 2400 and it's the same for all.
good luck.
This is not a specific ReadyNAS NFS issue. This is a pretty common NFS issue across many platforms. A Google search turned up a few other NAS providers who do go through this same thing. It'll be unlikely to be resolved in RAIDiator 4.2 but if you can show me some where other companies are resolving such problems, we can probably see about adding something in OS 6.
Deleting a huge file over iSCSI should not be a big deal for any ReadyNAS because the ReadyNAS has no idea what is going on inside of your LUN and that file system.
for iscsi :
I remember that i had the same problems with iscsi, but i won't waste more time by now.
Did you try deleting a big iscsi lun when the san is already in use with other luns in iscsi ?
I would be pleased to have the response.
For my experience it is specific to readynas.
I tested it on compellent and qnap and had no problems in nfs.
It is the only reason for wich i leave my readynas to qnap for small sans.
I'm not an OS builder, i'm a customer that simply want materials that function correctly and a constructor that correct errors.
