ReadyNAS becomes unresponsive - could it be tied to FW6.4 and backups?
I own a ReadyNAS 104. I currently have four 3TB drives in it in X-Raid. (5.86TB free of 8.17TB total). I have a 5TB USB 3.0 drive plugged into the front USB Drive. It is formatted as EXT4. I am ...
I have a RN104 with 2 3TB drives and it becomes unresponsive during a network backup to a Western Digital EX2 3TB NAS. It also is unresponsive during a backup operation from a Windows 10 Pro using the MS Windows 7 software. My conclusion is that during a heavy load, the RN104 just ignores incoming requests. I have not done any real troubleshooting since I just closed a support ticket when the FW update to 6.4 lost the RAID volume. (Netgear support was able to recover the volume.)
Is this an issue being addressed in the next FW release? If it is and is coming SOON, I will patiently wait. If not, it will be another thing on my list of reasons to steer people away from ReadyNAS units.
Thanks for the help.
