ReadyNAS 314 running slowly after 6.4.0 upgrade
Since upgrading my 314 to 6.4.0 it's been running very slowly taking about 30 seconds to login to the admin page. Sometimes it doesn't even load it. Also AFP/TimeMachine connections are now very in...
Im not very technical im afraid but you just need to go to 'Shares' > 'Timeline'
Then just click on the little grey arrows on the time line to delete. It is quite a painful process but it seems to have worked for me. If you do a search for deleting snapshots, there will be a more detialed method than what I have just described. I did have to do it in a couple of attempts but finally managed to get rid of them all.
Also make sure you set the snapshot schedule to never otherwise it will keep adding snapshots.
BennyKindok I will give it a try but I have a bucket load of data with snapshots so it could take a while and several force reboots. I will let you know what happens.
Did you also have the inability to reboot/shutdown issue or did your device reboot ok?
Yea it took me a few goes as well.
Rather than do a load of force re-boots, i found that leaving the unit over night and in the morning it would be ok for a while until basically the snapshot schedule was due to kick in again. Thats when I think it has a problem. I am unsure as to what effect a load of force re-boots would have. It surely cant be good for it though.
Yea same issue with re-booting/shutting down. It would just hang and wouldnt do anything! apart from tell me on the display that it would see me soon!
FYI, i have a 316 not a 314 but I cant imagine there is much difference.
The snapshot was supposed to be at midnight which is why I have my NAS set to go off at 1 am as you cant set when the snaphot time is.
I just had a go and got rid of a few, trying a different method this time around that should be quicker. For anyone else reading this I am now using this method (http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23407/~/how-do-i-delete-snapshots-using-the-recovery-mode-on-my-readynas-os-6-storage) to remove my snapshots
