ReadyNAS NV+ V1 very slow, error cause "attempt to access beyond end of device" writing to logs

Hi,

 

My ReadyNAS was very slow, today when i take time to analyze i discovered the cause, i had two deamons with high cpu usage (>80%),  klogd and syslogd, both where continually writing the same error for log files:

 

 

jumbo:/var/log# tail kern.log

Dec  6 21:25:12 jumbo kernel: dm-0: rw=0, want=71180927040, limit=11707023360
Dec  6 21:25:12 jumbo kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device

 

jumbo:/var/log# tail syslog

Dec  6 21:25:12 jumbo kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device
Dec  6 21:25:12 jumbo kernel: dm-0: rw=0, want=71180927040, limit=11707023360

 

 

After rebooting with volume check the problem wasn't resolved.

 

Any idea of the origin of this problem?

 

PS: Workaround for having a more responsive NAS was to reduce priority of deamons process with renice command

 

 

Best Regards

      Hi Jenn,

       

      Until now i didn't have any problems with my readynas (almost 9 year trouble free :-)  )

       

      I'm using the last version of firmware, 4.1.14

       

      Best Regards

        Hello whocarez,

         

        It must be because the logs are almost getting full, that's why I asked for the FW version.

         

        I'm glad everything's working flawlessly.

         

        Regards,
