ReadyNAS 516 and OS 6.5.0 slow to the point of unusable
this issue surfaced for me with OS 6.4. The workaround then was to turn off Virus checking and ultimately a firmware update. Now, with 6.5.0 the issue has returned. I am getting transfer rates of 3...
I have a 316 NAS unit, and the 6.5.0 upgrade hammered it. I have it as the primary file server for folks in a small office. Small tho it may be, access to files is critical. Business critical. If you are still having these issues, have you tried disabling the 'ReadyCLOUD' service? If not give that as shot. I've gone through a week of this erratic connectivity to shares and slow transfer speeds and seem to have found relief/resolution when I turned off 'ReadyCLOUD' and 'ReadyNAS Replicate'.
Because things started working 'normally', I have not tinkered with anything else. The folks on the network need to access their files on the shares so when the NAS started to behave, I just stopped poking sharp sticks at it, but I think I maybe didnt need to disable the 'Replicate' service, but I'll experiment with that later, perhaps over the weekend when nobody is about.
try turning off 'ReadyCLOUD', see what that does.
