ReadyNAS hangs (fatally) during NAS-to-NAS backups
I've just acquired a Synology DiskSation (DS413j to be precise) to serve as a backup to my existing workhorse ReadyNAS NV. [X-RAID RAIDiator 4.1.6] Backup creation has not gone smoothly. The back...
I finally figured out what was preventing rsync from working...and could potentially be responsible for the lock ups.
Even though I originally had both NAS devices set to have their IP assigned via DHCP, the new DS412+ somehow got manually assigned to the same IP address that my router had reserved / assigned my NV+. At some point, the DS412+ must have had a different IP address, because I had reserved that particular address in my router's DHCP reservation list.
I have no idea how any of this has been working because I have been logging on to the DS412+'s web interface using the IP address it was originally assigned and could still log on to the IP address of the NV+ using the one it was being assigned via DHCP. I only discovered the conflict when my NV+ started reporting a conflict this morning...the first such warning I have received since I started setting up the DS412+ a week ago.
Anyway, as soon as I assigned both NAS devices to static IP addresses, I was able to initiate an rsync backup job. The only thing now is I'm questioning the performance. Looking at my DS412+'s performance monitor, network activity seems to be hovering around 5MB/s...write speeds getting no higher than 40MB/s.
