USB Backup fails unmount... Maybe? CRITICAL
I have an NV+ with a pair of USB drives (approved HCL) Recently all backups fail to dismount properly and I'm having trouble mounting them even after the logs tell me that the backup has completed ...
Thank you. I will send logs and continue to update this thread.
Since I last posted I've amassed more information on the ReadyNas's condition.
The scheduled backups (two jobs going to USB drives HDDA and HDDB) were attempting to write to the RAID volume, thus filling it.
I deleted both backups and deleted the HDDA and HDDB shares that were created.
I installed USBClean and rebooted. Same behavior the next day.
I installed SSH and poked around (gently) to see if I couldn't find some config file that was causing the problem.
Installed apt-get and then performed the dreaded upgrade which required that I reinstall the firmware.
Which I did and now I'm back to square one. No SSH, no backup jobs.
Here is what confuses me. When I plug in the USB drive, the USB storage page shows USB_HDD_1 and USB_FLASH_1 even though there are no flash drives connected to the ReadyNAS.
I really think something is wrong with the USB settings or the USB drive itself.
I'm currently testing with another USB drive/enclosure.
