RN104 - a really slow deleting of files
I got RN104 (soft v.6.9.3) that is running on 4x4Tb drives in x-raid (as raid 5) to get 11TB volune space. Now the volume is 90% used. I need to make some space simply deleting files. Mostly multimed...
Hi
Given the size of your volume and the CPU and RAM in the 104, I suspect that quotas are probably holding you back.
As a test, turn off quotas and then delete the files. Is that faster? You can find it under volume settings (click on the little cog wheel under your raid volume and you will find it in here).
You can re-enable quotas after deletion.
Cheers

Thx, it bit helped. It deletes the files now but still far too slow to make any significant progres.
16 files (in 3 directories) - 16GB total - took over 10 mins to remove.
I am thniking that I forgotten to mention that this RN104 got an volume extender with one drive EDA500 connected. However I am not moving there by now. I try to simply remove files from the RN104.
Any other idea to make it full speed as it was?
Hi Tom_Must , if antivirus is running I would try disabling that first. Antivirus will go away anyways for RN10X with firmware 6.10.
To improve performance and stability of RN104 in general you might want to look at some suggestions behind the link below.
Kind regards
Thx
Definytly not antivirus as it was disabled for more than a year. It was seriously harming RN performance.
I'll try to go throgh the links. Thx.
Does the volume span both the main chassis and the EDA500, or does the EDA have a separate volume. If it spans, then you aren't deleting files "just from the 104", even if they were present before the EDA was added. The EDA500 can be quite slow for such things, even on my 516.
