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
