ReadyNas102 freezing while backup on front USB is running
Hi all,
I found a similar topic with search function but it was not resolved so I open a new discussion again.
I bought a 128 GB USB 3.0 flash stick (SanDisk Ultra Fit 128 GB USB Flash Drive USB 3.0) to backup some files (mostly small files, documents) from my readynas 102 to that USB device. The readynas 102 is running on firmware 6.6.0 with antivirus enable (but I tried also to run it disabled).
I used the FRONT USB slot
I've setup a new backup task and started the backup. It starts but after a while (maybe two minutes) I can't access my shares in Windows anymore and the admin page is not available anymore but the backup LED on front of the system is still flashing. The data to backup is about 17 GB and I was waiting about 3 hours but I was not able to bring the NAS back again. I cut off the power because it was not reacting to anything anymore. After the restart the system was working normally. I tried the same procedure again with antivirus disabled but again the NAS was freezing.
Does anybody have seen same or similar issue? I've not tried a back USB slot yet but I'll do it tonight and will post the result here.
Thanks in advance!
Florian

RN102, the Front USB slot, commonly used in USB 2.0 device. Suggest you try the Back of the slot.
Hi Amidala,
thanks for your reply. Yesterday I tried to put it into one of the rear USB slots but the USB device was not recognized by system at all. But usually you can use USB3 devices in a USB2 slot, can't you?
I don't know whats going on but as next I'll try another USB device.
Best regards,
Florian
Hi again,
yesterday I tried few other USB flash drives with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. Some are recognized well but others not at all. When I started the backup on the "working" flash drives it takes just a few seconds and a fail message occurs: can not create file on destination. I checked the accesibility of the flash but any host can access. There should be no blocking point. The backup started with a few files correctly and then some error happens...
But also in general I always have connection problems on the RN102. If a backup job works today the same backup job fails tomorrow while no change happens on my network in the meantime.
BTW: I tried the same on my old ReadyNas duo and have not any problems!!!! Why not change back to the good old radar GUI?? Its much more efficient and much more stable!
I'll not spend any more time in this because I have other work to do... If there will be no bug fix for next firmware I'll exchange my netger products. My friends which using other vendors can just laugh about my issues with Netgear.
