ReadyNAS Duo V2 saves to local space, rather than HDD?

Hello, I just got my ReadyNAS duo in the mail today.

I set it up and installed Transmission and proceeded to download a torrent.

But it seems as if the /c/media is local space, instead of space on the HDD.

I am getting this error in the client:

http://puu.sh/uW22

I tried to mount the drive /dev/sda to /mnt/ but it said it was already mounted. Not sure what I did/am doing wrong :/

Some advice would be greatly appreciated <3

    Don't mount/ dev/sda, it should be /dev/c/c on Duo v2, Duo v2 has LVM level.
  • Here is the drive partitions and mounts:

  • /dev/md[012] are normal. /dev/sda1 should never be mounted on its own, its part of the md0 array. It should also have three partitions on it (4GB(md0,root),512MB(md1,swap),xxGB(md2,data)). Trying to mount it directly will certainly corrupt your data. fdisk should also not be used, there is sfdisk for that to handle GPT stuff correctly.

    If you just got the system, there shouldn't be much data on it yet. If you have been poking around and mounting stuff incorrectly, I would suggest doing a factory default to clean it off any wrong doing. /c mountpoint is part of the md2 data array, if Transmission is saving to /c/media, data would be fine on there. Sounds like somehow you are saving data to the md0 root partition that is only 4GB.

    At this point, it already seems out of scope for Support also until a factory default is performed, and the issues cleaned up.
  • Seems like a factory reset fixed it. I did everything the same, I don't know why this time it worked >.> haha
