ReadyNAS regulary drops connection
Hi guys, We have a ReadyNAS 516 which is used as our main source of fileshare/storage - We are a mixed environment of PC's (windows 7-10) and Mac's. We find that throughout the day we have regula...
Lets assume, that what you experience is not caused by the way your network infrastructure is setup.
Then the nas might be for a short time overwhelmed by the following activities and temporarily not respond to users' requests:
- There are scheduled tasks being kicked off during the day like scrub, defrag, balance or disk test
- There might be heavy workload caused by the antivrus service due to the way your users are accessing the files on the share
So, first I would make sure, that no scheduled tasks are running during the time you need the nas' capacity for your users. Second, if you can afford and antivirus service is running at the moment, switch it off for one or two days. Your users will probably let you know in case there is no improvement.
These are first guesses. Other community members might have more and better ideas.
Thanks for such a speedy response,
I will have a look for any scheduled tasks that may be running - although i do not think there are any.
with regards to the anti-virus - i feel uncomfortable turning the service off.
Thanks,
