ReadyNAS 316, crashing while transfering

Hi!

 

 

We have a Netgear ReadyNAS 316 with 5x 3TB in raid 5. I have an issue where I transfert my old backup on it, then the NAS crashes... We have big backupo files (like 500-600gb).

 

NAS Firmware is up to date to 6.9.2 (now there is 6.9.3)

 

Anyone already seen this?

 

By the way, I just saw that I have a drive that has reallocated sector count: 65. We will change this drive first, but I do not think it is the issue, as the first time it happened, drive was okay.

 

 

Thanks for any help

How full is the NAS data volume?  Do you have snapshots enabled?

 

Also, how you transfering the backups?

Hi!

 

The Nas is connected by NFS on vSphere 5.5, then a VMDK has been created for the Backup (10tb volume, before, it was like 7.9TB)

 

The volume is almost empty now.

 

I have an external drive connected to my vmware server, shared to a VM, then transfering file onto the the VMDK.

 

No snapshot is enabled. Configured has flex-raid (using raid 5)

Have you checked smart_history.log to see when the reallocated sector count changed? You could find that it was increasing earlier than you thought.

Hi!

 

I do not have this file. After a resync drive is green with 65 reallocated sector. I will change the disk anyway, and see...

 

if the NAS crashes again, I'll start new backup on it and see if big files crash the NAS..

Actually you do. Download the log zip from the admin web ui, it is one of the files inside the zip.

ohh I see 🙂

 

since 2015, there is reallocated sector, the last one is 2017

 

I am willing to replace the disk anyway but that doesn't tells me why the NAS is crashing on big file copy. I will try to instead start a new backup sequences, hoping that it will not crash... We need the backup to be redundant, the external drive that we use right now is at 800gb left 😕

By the way (Wasn't able to edit), file system is btrfs on the raid, I don't know if it can help..

 

I will drive to reduce the VMDK size to 6TB and see if it helps. I don't know if the NAS don't like 10TB file size..
