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 simliar problem. I have a ReadyNAS 2120. We are running Symantec System Recovery. The NAS will become unresponive randomly and the backups will fail. We've isolated the occurance to two backup operations each are about 100GB. We've since disabled the backups and the NAS has been online for two days without incident. This is a temporary solution as the two production servers need to be backed up locally.
Hopefully this isn't another firmware bug.
JackofAll,
I don't know which system you're using, or which firmware. However, my problems were mostly solved by FW 6.4.1, and I'm now on 6.4.2. The NAS is now working and backing up reliably, though Antivirus still wont work properly and Power Off does not work. The problem of unreliability was certainly down to FW 6.4.0 in my opinion.
