ReadyNAS totally locks up when trying to backup via USB
Running 6.5.1
Plug in newly formatted USB drive (1TB WD Red in drive dock that has been previously used successfully with RN104).
Create new backup job to the USB drive....start backup......
I have encountered the same issue (with the same error message) when launching the backup job, the NAS runs OS 6.6.0. Any chance to get it solved in the near future?
Thank you.
Hi alcibiades,
This is already being worked at. If you are interested, there is beta firmware available for the USB issue.
ReadyNASOS 6.6.1-T230 (Beta 4)
Regards,
I received yesterday the update to 6.6.1. I started the backup job but the system freezed with the error
__percpu_counter_add+3c
I had to unplug the system. Now it freezes at 98% of booting sequence, there is hard disk activity from time to time.
With the new update I remarked that the system powers on once you plug the power connector, it does not wait for the power button to be pressed.
How can I recover the 6.6.0?
Thank you.
The ARM systems are set to last state. So as the system was not powered down properly it will turn on when power is reconnected. If you had shutdown the system properly and disconnected the power it would not have automatically powered on when the power was reconnected. This is not new to 6.6.1.
I reinstalled the OS from the boot menu and it seems that the problem has dissappeared. The back-up process also finishes without error.
