ReadyNAS Duo suddenly very slow to copy
I'm not sure if this is a Mac issue or not and if it is, maybe it's just a problem with Yosemite.
I don't really know when it started as I may have been copying smaller files without really noticing a change in speed but in the last few weeks I have noticed a significant drop in copying speed from my ReadyNAS Duo (v1) to my MacBook Pro I am currently copying a folder with 5.24 GB of data and Finder says it will take 48 minutes. Not so long ago, it would have taken about ten minutes.
I have rebooted everything several times, Mac, Router (Netgear DGND3300 v2) and the ReadyNAS Duo. I'm pretty certain that it is neither the Mac's write speed or the router's transfer rate as performance in other areas has not changed.
It could have started when I updated to OS X 10.10/10.10.1.
I'd be very grateful for any advice.

What happens when you try the procedures I linked to?flamesong wrote: I have enabled NFS in Frontview and given Read/Write permissions all round but can't connect from my Mac. - Well, the first odd thing is that neither page opens in Safari - even with all extensions disabled.
On the first page - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18718
Connect to a computer or server by browsing:
Nothing - it doesn't appear in the list

- It is odd that apple support pages won't open in Safari :shock:
When you tried entering the NAS address, did you use the format
nfs://NASNAME/SHARENAME
or possibly
nfs://NASIPADDRESS/SHARENAME - Ah!
When I used the NASname address with share name, I got an error saying that it could not be found.
When I used the IP address without the share name, I got the error posted previously - so I assumed that the address was right - but after adding the share name, I can connect.
Initial impression is that copying is slightly quicker but only slightly. - Your usage on the OS partition is still larger than I think is normal. Do you have any large log files?
After you have made an up to date backup could you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my signature)? - When I followed the procedure in the link, I got this error:
Safari can’t open the page “https://192.168.0.2/get_handler?PAGE=Status&command=GetZippedLogs&OPERATION=set” because Safari can’t connect to the server “192.168.0.2
Unfortunately, I can no longer connect to Frontview. - Did you check for large log files first?
- No, I understood the procedure to download the logs was the means to determine if the log files were large.
Regrettably it was exactly the wrong thing to do.flamesong wrote: No, I understood the procedure to download the logs was the means to determine if the log files were large.
When you download the logs, the NAS zips them into a file on the OS partition. If the OS partition is nearly full to start with, that can take it over the edge.- But my ReadyNAS was not even half full.
