RN214 Reports volume capacity at 5% after defrag
I have two RN214, one as a server and the other as a backup. The server is set up as RAID 6, the backup as X-RAID 5. Neither are approaching 10% used. However, both drives consistently report warnings for volume media's capacity at 30%/20%/5% within hours of the weekly scheduled defrag. Both are running OS 6.6.1 with AV enabled. The drives appear to behave normally otherwise. What is going on? I'm concerned that eventually the root partition may actually get completely full and lock one or both of the drives.
The server (RAID 6) previously had difficulty resyncing after an unfortunate power-related hard shutdown during a scrub. However, it has worked fine isnce. The backup array (X-RAID 5) has worked flawlessly.

Which Firmware are you running 6.6.1?
If you are switch off AV, it has bugs and Netgear are aware and working on a solution. many other people have suffered your symptoms
Firmware 6.6.1. I have turned off AV on both arrays and experimentally run defrag. I'll see in the morning whether the problem recurs. Thanks.
Results so far: With AV off, defrag ran and no warnings followed. I just reactivated AV and will run defrag again to see if I can replicate the issue. If so, I will apparently have to leave AV off until NetGEAR fixes AV.
I got the message 'Less than 30% of volume media's capacity is free' at 6.28pm 07/03/2017. At 6.37pm on 07/03/2017 I got the message 'Less than 5% of volume media's capacity is free'. I also got 3 AV warnings all relating to Adobe Acrobat folders (backups of installation discs). The alledged viruses are Win.Trojan.Ramnit-5466 (adobe_eula.dll) and Win.Trojan.Magania-11738 (adobe_eula.dll and acro_pro_disc.EXE). Are these real? I have deleted them as instructed but I'm still worried about the volume size. Accoring to the ReadyNAS admin page I have 2.1TB free out of 2.65TB
It sounds like you are running 6.6.1. There are some issues with the new AV service.
Although Netgear has pushed some (silient) patches, I recommend either disabling AV or installing the current 6.7.0 beta firmware.
The beta firmware can be found here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Beta-Release/ReadyNASOS-6-7-0-T180-Beta-3/m-p/1229713#U1229713
Read the release notes over before you install.
- Thanks. That worked.
