That's reduced it to around 100 hours -Thanks. Still seems a long time though.

So has your RAID Array re-sync finished yet? It looks like your NAS is configured in a similar fashion to the one I have been stress testing with OS6. When I expanded my array from 5 drives to 6, the process took approximately 32 hours.

Please report back when yours finishes. I'd be curious to hear how long yours took.

P.S.: What type of drives are you using?

Re: OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

No its still syncing with another 70+ hours to go. The drives are WD 2TB reds. I went from raid 5 to 6. I have a 6700 processor with 4GB of ram - cant believe the sync can take so long.
My next step is to add another to expand my storage. Probably do this when I go away....

ReadyNAS Alert Message

Okay folks here's a new one:

About and hour ago I rebooted a ReadyNAS Ultra 4 with four 1TB drives. I did this about 30 minutes after deleting a share from the GUI that had about 80% of the data volume's files in it. I rebooted because the pie charts and graphs in the GUI were not reflecting any change of available free space. After the reboot, the GUI did reflect quite a bit more free space in the data volume, but now every 10 minutes I'm getting sent an E-Mail that says:

System volume 'root' usage is 91 %. This condition should not occur in normal conditions. Please contact technical support.

System volume 'root' usage is 100 %. This condition should not occur in normal conditions. Please contact technical support.

System volume 'root' usage is 99 %. This condition should not occur in normal conditions. Please contact technical support.

System volume 'root' usage is 99 %. This condition should not occur in normal conditions. Please contact technical support.

Etc., etc., etc. over and over.

From the command line I ran:
df

which resulted in

Help! I have no clue how to troubleshoot this one.

Re: OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

Your 4GB OS partition is full.

You can use the du command to find out what's filling it up.

You could start by doing e.g.

# du -csh /var/log

Re: OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

That means 121MB of the 4GB is in use in /var/log, so the problem is somewhere else. There's probably a folder somewhere with roughly 3GB in use that is on the OS partition (not on your data volume(s)).

Is there some sort of filter, option, or pipe that I can use in conjunction with "du" that would give me a summary list of the directory tree from largest to smallest (or vice versa) so I can figure out what directory to start looking in?

EDIT: Never mind. I think I figured that one out on my own. I used:
du -h --max-depth=1 /

Which resulted in:
7.1M	/bin

It looks like there is something going on in /var. . .

So this particular ReadyNAS is running as a Network Video Recorder (Not NETGEAR's prohibitively expensive one). All the actual video gets deposited into /data/NVR/Video/*.* so not problem there. However, the NVR Database (MongoDB) resides in '/var/lib/nvr/db/' and '/var/lib/nvr/db/journal'.

So my dilemma now is what do I do? Can I somehow move the database somewhere else where there is more room? Can the rootfs be enlarged to say 8GB's from 4GB's. I mean this database is only going to get bigger over time, and now that I'm at 99%, there is no more room for it to grow.

Anyone got any ideas?

perhaps a symlink ?

you move the database somewhere with space in /data/xxxx then to a symling to the original place

Re: OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

Or does the NVR software have a configuration file allowing you to specify the location to store the DB so you could specify a path e.g. /data/NVR/database

Yeah I was kind'a thinking the same thing. Okay now I have to learn how to do that in Linux. A Google'ing I go, a Google'ing I go, high ho the dairy'o a Google'ing I go!
:google:

Oh and by the way, many thanks to super-poussin for these:
find {/path/to/directory} -type f -size +{file-size-in-kb}k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $8 ": " $5 }' 

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 du -s | sort -n | tail -10 | cut -f2 | xargs -I{} du -sh {}

I didn't use them this time but I'm sure I will in the future. . .

Re: OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

Thanks again to all of you that replied with helpful suggestions. :worship: The command 'df' now shows:

/dev/md127 2915731968 869288756 1931342132 32% /apps

So I went from a 'rootfs' at 99% down to 28%. So that I might get a better idea as to what is normal, I'd like to hear some feedback to as to what some of you other folks running OS6 have for 'rootfs' percent of utilization.
Cheers!

28% is fine. I have a system that isn't doing much at the moment which has an OS partition which is 15% full.

Re: OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

Hey,

can anybody tell me how to downgrade from 6.0.8 to "old" 4 firmware, since my system is not running how it should.... (web interface is crashing very often and saying is offline... or plex is crashing after 3 min and is not reachable.....I did already twice reset but nothing helped...) I couldn´t find any deb file nor the version with usb is working since i cant run the exe file (says always I´m missing some files)....

any ideas?

thanks

What kind of performance? If you are asking about network performance, mine has been nearly identical. NFS file transfer speeds are slightly better but SMB slightly slower (by about 10% or so; barely noticeable). . .
