Trouble setting up FTP on ReadyNAS 102 with Linksys router EA6900
Hello, I am having trouble setting up my ReadyNAS for FTP. I have a Linksys router (EA6900) I am using for WIFI. I have the FTP enabled on the ReadyNAS and can see and use the FTP settings around my ...

Not really that large. The largest file is 5 gb and the smallest it will not delete is 1.5gb. It’s kind of weird since it had to delete these files before when backing up, since I have them set to delete all the files before backing up.
I don't think it's the size, but there could be something else going on with the file system.
You could try creating a new share, then use a web UI backup job to copy the files into it. Then delete the original share, and rename the new one to match the original.
BTW, you probably shouldn't enable snapshots on these shares (since the repeated deletions will consume a lot of snapshot space). If you want to take advantage of snapshots, you might want to look into tools that will do incremental backups from the PC (instead of using NAS backup jobs). FreeFileSync might be worth looking at. I've used RoboCopy to do this, though that is a command line tool so you'd need to create a script.
Hello, I have been trying to do as you suggested and keep encountering the same problem. I am unable to remove those files or delete that folder. I can add folders, but not delete that one.
I did finally see an alert pop up at the top and when checking the logs it said that “The volume encountered an error and was made read - only. It is recommended to backup your data.”
Could this have been my problem the whole time? How do I change it from read only?
I disabled snapshots not very long after getting the system. I was noticing that all my space was being used up by the snapshots.
I’ll give free file sync a look and see if it will help me backup faster and more efficiently.
- Hello,
It looks like anytime it encounters a conflict, me trying to delete those files or that share, it turns the system into a read only until after reboot. Then I can backup or move files, other than the handfull it has deemed off limits. Everything I check on those files seems to be just like the other files and folders on the system. It just does not like me trying to delete those specific files. I have tried moving them. It looks like the files have moved to another folder, but when I check after a few minutes they have either moved bock or the system never moved them. Then the system encounters a error and becomes read only until after reboot.
I might just leave those files alone and backup what needs to be backed up and move on to making it ftp ready. I can always try to delete them at a later date. Perhaps look in system.log and see if there are any BTRFS errors around the time you tried to do the deletion.
Hello,
Here is all it says in the logs when I try to delete those files.
Is there another place I can check to see a different log? Maybe in more detail. I just went to system then selected log.
Thanks
Download the log zip file and look in system.log and kernel.log.
Hello I found this in the system.log :
Dec 13 19:24:46 ********** apache2[14424]: [error] [client censored IPaddress] File does not exist: /var/www/currentsetting.htm
Dec 13 19:25:09 ********** afpd[15482]: dsi_tcp_open: invalid header
With a ton of lines around it saying it could not send an e-mail "has password changed in future"
In the kernel.log I found this:
Sorry For the badly stitched image. It was the fastest way I could think of to edit my systems name and IPaddress out.
Let me know if it is too small to see and I will upload it in a different format.
Thanks

The characters aren't legible even when the image is zoomed. Cut-paste as text (using the "insert code" </> icon), and edit out whatever you wish there.
Private IP addresses are safe to post, as they are not routable over the internet. So your NAS can not be reached using them. The three private IP addresses ranges are:
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255Hello, I did what you suggested this morning before work, hit post. It looks like it did not post. I’ll try again once I get home tonight.
Hello,
It keeps telling me I do not have the correct privileges to post the code. I have tried a few times. Posting in the code icon and trying in the normal post.
Maybe this will work. I made a jpg using copy paste text into gimp2 and I am attaching it as a file. Since everytime I try to either enter it in as code or just paste it into the text section the post disappears. Hopefully it stays this time.
Yes, that is a btrfs filesystem error. If you can't delete the share (recreating it later and restoring it from backup), the best way to fix it would be to do a factory reset and restore the entire NAS.
Perhaps try doing a scrub from the volume maintenance menu first, and see if that repairs it.
Thanks for the info. I’ll run the scrub, if that doesn’t work I guess I’ll have to do the restore.
Hello,
Shouldn’t I be able to still access my ReadyNAS while it is running a scrub? I cannot log into the admin page or use readycloud on any device. Does this mean it has frozen or crashed? The lights are still on, but they are not blinking like they usually do when it is workin.

It should be accessible, but with much slower response.
Have you tried installing RAIDar on a PC, and see what status it reports? https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads
Here is what it says when I run raidar. I guess I should unplug the device let it sit a few minutes then plug it back in.
