ReadyNAS 104 system hanging frequently after 6.4.0 upgrade
Hi All, I have a pretty new ReadyNAS 104 system (August, 2015). Currently populated with 3 x 4TB WD RED drives, and a single Segate 3TB drive (to be upgraded once funds allow). Since upgrading to FW 6.4.0 I have found that the system will hang whenever a maintenance process is performed - Scub, Balance or Defrag, which I had scheduled previously. I have now disabled all the schedules and left the system alone, but overnight it has hung again, after approximately 72 hours of normal operation. It responds to pings, but the GUI will not load, it has dropped off the network via all protocols, fails to allow you to SSH into it and pressing the power button (Once, twice and three times) has absolutely no effect. The only option is to pull the plug. Also, after every hang, forcing a power pull, the system starts a complete resync of the volume, which always starts at 25.10% and takes about 4 days to complete over the 15TB of raw storage. Obviously this is putting undue strain on the disks everytime it is happening. Happy to provide logs to any friendly Netgear Admins, and any advice from any of you lovely people would be gratefully received. Cheers, Tipster10KViews2likes26Comments
RN316 randomly freezing shared folder on 6.4.0
Hi, I upgraded a client's RN316 to firmware 6.4.0 about 2 days ago. The firmware update reported successful and all seemed ok for about half a day. Now the primary share (2.7TB) of data, has become extremely unstable, randomly freezing up for about 10 minutes when PC's or Macs try to access it. Protocols enabled are SMB, AFP and NFS, and permissions are open - everyone can read/write. The unit has 2 x 4TB hard drives running (mirrored). Approx. 25-30 users may be accessing the share at any one time, and this was fine on 6.2.4. I had hourly snapshots running, but have reduced them to daily to try troubleshoot - the issue persists. I have tried using the 2nd NIC instead (Gb LAN), changed the device IP address, really just about exhausted all I can think of. Is there any way to rollback to 6.2.4? Will resetting permissions maybe help, or switching off and re-enabling protocols for the relevant share...? Thanks guys, I'm at a loss here. A great product being let down by these bugs right now :(Solved11KViews1like22Comments
