ReadyNAS NV+ performance and file permission issues.
I have a NV+ with 4x1TB HDD. Lately its performance is pretty slow. Initially I attributed this to marginal WIFI connection to my router (the NV+ is hardwired), but the other night I connected my lap...
The fastest method over wired ethernet,using NFS, followed by Windows (CIFS). Rsync is robust, but not as fast as the other two for full restores.
One popular method is to configure the backup as incremental NFS, then edit the job after it completes to use rsync. Then rerun it. Running it again should be incremental (and very fast), and it can clean up any mismatches in owner/group/permissions/timestamps.
If you are connecting the USB drive directly to the NAS, then local->local is the fastest option. But that is slower than wired ethernet on the NV+ v1.
What firmware are you running? Do you have SSH enabled?
Also, have you checked the disk smart stats?
You can of course back up the data and try a factory reset.
SMART attributes look ok. SSH root access is enabled. I installed it and poked around but i didnt change anything with it. firmware: RAIDiator 4.1.14 [1.00a043] Factory reset keeps my current firmware version or reverts to original?
When you update the firmware it is both updated on the flash and on the disks.
So when you do a factory reset it will wipe all data, settings, everything and install the firmware currently on the flash. 4.1.14 would be on the flash on your system at the moment so that is what it would install.
Your system would be returned to the state it would've been in if it shipped from the factory with 4.1.14.
