Rsync just hangs..
So I have three shares on a ReadyNAS 3200 that I'd like to sync with a ReadyNAS Pro 4 which is used as an in-house backup, before the data is eventually backed up onto external HDDs and removed off-site. The share's contain a fairly sizeable amount of data 100s of GB.
No matter what I do, I cannot get the 3200 to backup the three shares to the Pro 4. Ideally I'd like to get the first data backed up using a standard NFS backup then switch to a Rsync incremental backup that will run every few hours each day.
When attempting to backup using NFS shares from the Pro "pulling" data from the 3200, it never gets started, just hangs. If I "push" the data from the 3200 to the Pro, it starts and very slowly copies some files over, then the 3200 Frontview stops responding and the backup simply halts.
If I try to do the first backup using Rsync, no matter which way around I try it, they always both get stuck at "receiving incremental file list" and while neither locks-up or fails to respond, nothing actually happens (I've left it for 7 days+ once and still nothing).

- The ReadyNAS 3200 is probably under a reasonable workload as it's the main VMware NFS host..
Is there an easy way to see what load it's actually under? - Is either NAS under heavy load? Have you checked to see if the 4GB OS partition is very full one other unit?
- Not as yet, I thought I'd try here first...
- Have you tried contacting support?
- Oh I suppose I should give some more information about the devices / software:
Model: ReadyNAS 3200 v1 [X-RAID2]
Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.22
Memory: 4096 MB [DDR2]
IPv4 address: 1+2: 192.168.0.157
Model: ReadyNAS Pro 4 [X-RAID2]
Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.24
Memory: 1024 MB [DDR2]
IPv4 address: 1+2: 192.168.0.158
Both devices have their network interfaces in teaming mode (IEE 802.3ad LACP - Layer 2). - What version of RAIDiator is on the units?
