ReadyNas NV+ kills network on copy action [4.1.15 ]
Hi Community, i am new to the Netgear ReadyNAS. I just switched from a Promise NAS. I got my NV+ operating in an x-raid with 4x1tb identical disks. Updated the RAIDiator to the latest 4.1.15 to...

Updated the RAIDiator to the latest 4.1.15 today and got everything up and running.
FWIW, the latest (and final) is actually 4.1.16, which adds a security fix. https://kb.netgear.com/000038792/RAIDiator-Version-4-1-16-Sparc
I don't think that will resolve your problem, but it's worth picking it up.

But i got one Problem:
When i copy files from my windows 10 machine through smb sometimes it works just fine but most times the operation stucks and my wifi connection breaks. then i have no longer access to the internet and the readynas.
Does this happen when you use wired ethernet? Or is it just with wifi?
Well, the NV+ is quite old, so you must have picked up a used one. It's not clear at this point if the issue is with your PC, the network, the NV+ chassis or something with the disks in the NAS.
I am thinking it's the PC or perhaps the network, but that is just my current guess. Do you have another device you can use to test NAS transfers?
You should probably download the NAS log zip file, and look at the disk health next. You'll find the SMART stats in disk_smart.log. It's worth looking in system.log and kernel.log for errors as well.
It'd also be helpful to confirm that the issue is only happening when you have several copies going on in parallel from the PC (or not). One tool that you could use to test sequential copying is NAStester ( http://www.808.dk/?code-csharp-nas-performance ). That would be a good way to run a long sequential test.
thank's a lot for your help.
yes you're right. i got this one used. i wasn't happy with my promise nas and that was also lower in storage capacity.
so when i was offered this nv+ with 4tb for 60€ i couldn't miss it.
i updated it again , now to the really latest version ;)
and i downloaded the nastester utility. it ran a 400 x 5 run without any problems

so i started a 4gb x 2 run which is still running.
but as far as i see this programm copies only 1 file at a time so i don't expect it to crash.
But i will perform the increasing tests till maximum.after that i will try to trigger the crash again with real-world-examples.
if it freezes again i will try to copy from another machine
hi StephenB , i ran tests and copied stuff to my media collection the whole day.
everything worked just fine. it really seems like the update from 4.1.15 to 4.1.16 fixed the issue.
it sounds really silly but i was never before able to transfer so many data.
so i assume this to be solved but i will leave the thread open for some more days if the problem reoccures.
