Bit-rot detected Error

Im limited in rnas experience & im getting this regular error for some time on one of my older nas's running OS6.6.1 is there a fix? bitrot is not enabled have tried returning to OS4 with same result. tried replacing HDD's reinstall os6 defrag, scrub etc... Nas seems to run fine.
Regular ERROR:
Volume: Bit rot has detected an error within //var/log/frontview/status.log and cannot correct the error.

Re: Bit-rot detected Error

Ok, still running on the new beta firmware you suggested, I removed the 2x 2TB compatable nas hdd's from ultra2 replaced them with one brand new 2TB hdd, formated, setup nas then I rsync'd a share (98gb) from one of the Rn31200 to the ultra 2, Bingo!! no errors!! restarted a few times, rebooted a few times, still no BitRot errors, rsync another full share (450Gb) over hopefully when that finishes I get no errors it will be solved.

Re: Bit-rot detected Error

That's very odd.

 

Which services are you running?

Do you have any apps installed?

Re: Bit-rot detected Error

Nothing on the nas except some mp4s & mkv files backed up from my main nas & 1 app "Plex" but it's allways toggled Off (not used)

services: SMB, Rsync, UPnP, HTTP, HTTPS, ReadyDLNA

Re: Bit-rot detected Error

Very odd. Do you still see this on ReadyNASOS 6.7.0-T158 (Beta 1)?

6.6.1 working perfect on 2x RN31200 Readynas & 1 other Rnas ultra 2, the Error doesn't seem to be a problem but it is an error everytime i reboot etc.. so i'd lke to sort it after 6mths of trying.
