RN316 randomly freezing shared folder on 6.4.0
Hi, I upgraded a client's RN316 to firmware 6.4.0 about 2 days ago. The firmware update reported successful and all seemed ok for about half a day. Now the primary share (2.7TB) of data, has becom...

Do you have ssh enabled? If so, can you go in and run top to see if "[btrfs-cleaner]" shows up and is using lots of CPU? If so, then you may well be experiencing an issue that's been reported in other threads.

Thanks for the quick reply vandermerwe!
Gaan ons op Saterdag wen? ;)
Not sure if it's related, but the Web Interface admin page also goes loopy at the same time as the shares lag - it just hangs for about 5 minutes and eventually comes up... slowly.
SMART status within the interface shows both drives as good. I haven't been able to remove the drives and test though...
It all went south after 6.4.0.
I was trying to figure out if something else on the LAN may be the cause - I have been scanning the logs on the switches - found one port with a ton of failed packets, so I am going to see what that is about tomorrow... could be flooding the LAN somehow maybe? Just grasping at straws here...
I will revert in the morning.
Thanks again for your help and time!

So it seems there isn't anything even plugged into the suspected LAN port on the switch, so that kinda rules that out.
Sporadic issues again today - share dropping randomly and freezing up PC's.
All I can see happening in the logs is old snapshots deleting on the hour.
Should I manually cleanup the snapshots?
Can I reload the same firmware (6.4.0) manually?
Just thinking of more options here...
