terrible write performance when almost full
Hi, I own a NV+ V2, and have been loving it so far. My issue has happened recently when the device is almost full. Basically, I can not write the last 70 GB free on the device. I have 4x spinpoint ...
this is an ext3/ext4 problem going back a few years, not really readynas specific. you can google ext4 fragmentation for lots of info
the root problem is the way ext4 allocates blocks gets less efficient when space is low, and as already noted above its best to keep 5-10% free space for best performance.
I know this isn't the answer you want, but if you are that low on space that performance is bad, then it is time to get bigger or more disks.
