Reinstall OS?

[Freebird317]

I have setup Time Machine on my RN104. It was working at one point in time but now it has stopped. All it get is preparing disk... I have recreated both the time machine back job on my ReadyNas and Mac. But after the first back finishes with success, the next job it will not stop erroring . My console gets filled up with afpfs_vnop_ioctl: afpfs_FindForkRef failed -1 error, 100,000s of them and backupd is running 100%. I am running firmware 6.6.0.

Stopping the back process stops the error. Looking at the error it seems something is wrong with AFP (or netgears version)

afpfs_vnop_ioctl: afpfs_FindForkRef failed -1 error,

afpfs_vnop_ioctl: afpfs_FindForkRef failed -1 error,

afpfs_vnop_ioctl: afpfs_FindForkRef failed -1 error,

afpfs_vnop_ioctl: afpfs_FindForkRef failed -1 error,

So my question is reinstalling the OS worth trying or is there a known issue?

I have it fixed.  The problem turned out to be a know issue with my Mac.  I forget the CVE but basically I move my keychain DIR from library to my desktop.  Rebooted.  That fixed it.  Of cource I had to create keychain passwords.  🙂

Hello Freebird317,

May I ask where exactly do you see the error message? If you can post a screenshot, please do.

Hello Freebird317,

Do you get any error in the admin page's backup job logs?

No. Ive tried to SSH to view logs but lack knowledge on how to.  Using iStat I can see the CPU on the NAS is pegged. I ve tried an app to view the logs (loganalyzer) and i get ZERO logs recorded during this time. I am thinking the CPU on my nas is to busy.

What apps do you have installed?

Did you try rebooting the NAS?

I dont mind reinstalling the OS on my nas if it might help. does it make sence to reinstall? i just dont want to go thru setting it backup, i work all day on windows servers.  

ya you a pool man has the dirtiest pool on the street.  😉

Do you have a backup of the data?

I doubt that a reinstall will help, but it likely won't hurt either.  Maybe manually install 6.6.1?

[Freebird317]

tried that...just finished...no go. bbooo

Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
