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.
BennyKind Apparently what happens is that after snapshots are deleted, the btrfs-cleaner process is invoked, which is when all hell breaks loose and it consumes 90+% of CPU resources...
For some reason this is delayed - my snapshots were auto deleting at 17 mins past the hour, and the ReadyNAS would freeze at half past, even though the device logs indicated 17 mins past the hour.
I managed to stop the btrfs-cleaner process in SSH and the device seems to working normally again now - LAN shares, web interface.
The only thing I see is that under Volumes, it now only shows "Free Space" and "Snapshots" - no data... Worrying!
Even so, my shares are there and fully accessible and I have a working fileserver again.
Really hoping that Netgear takes note and pushes out a stable fix for this very soon.
nybblesandbytes this is all such a pain in the ****
I managed to get on to the web interface for a good ten minutes and managed to delete all remianing snapshots and change the snapshot schedule to never.
This seems to have fixed it for now despite the unit not taking snapshots which makes me a little nervous. 4 days on and its still running ok and is accessible by everyone.
Netgear really do need to get this sorted.
