SXR30 Satellite weridness
I was only able to get my SXR30 to sync for the first few weeks after purchase (more than a year ago). By now, at the very least, the firmware is not the same as the router. Anyways, I decided to give it another go, and figured the best place to start was updating the satellite firmware. I connected the satellite to the router via wired backhaul, then connected my macbook to the satellite via wire, and got web access, so it was at least acting as a switch. As a lark, I tired pressing the sync buttons to see if it would work... no dice, magenta light on the satellite. Insight page doesn't pop up the satellite as a device. Here's the weird part: if I disconnect the wired backhaul, the macbook (wired to satellite) still gets internet --- I'm using it to write this message right now. Wifi and all other network interfaces disabled. And if I go to "Devices" in the insight app, and subset by "Wired" connections, the port by which my macbook is connected shows as "N/A". Any explanation? (Or tips on how to get the satellite to sync?)OneDrive sync support (beta)
I'm exploring the beta support for OneDrive sync, and found several shortcomings that I'd like to see addressed in updates to the 6.9.0 firmware: 1. Shared folders that are added to my OneDrive aren't sync, while on Windows and Mac clients they are sync'd. The NAS should sync them as well. This has been committed as a 6.9.1 feature, which is great. 2. There is no multi-user support, though it really needs to be added. User A should be able to sync their OneDrive to their own share, while user B should be able to log in and establish a separate OneDrive authentication and sync relationship in their own share. 3. There is no way to ascertain sync state / progress. Somewhere there needs to be a progress indicator or "files remaining to be sync'd." Otherwise, users have no idea whether their ReadyNAS is in a clean or dirty sync state, thus no confidence of a full copy of their data. 4. You should document that a 0 means "no bandwidth restriction" rather than "0 KBps allowed". Thanks, Jeff
Number of files uploaded to Amazon does NOT match number on NAS share
I just "completed" a 5 day upload(sync) with Amazon. I sync'd two shares on NAS of the following sizes: 674GB ad 26GB. upon "completion" Amazon is showing the total size of my Amazon Cloud drive to be 669.7 GB, which is less than the expected 700GB (674+26=700). I have confirmed that the sync is NOT "stalled", by adding a new file to the ReadNAS, which was subsequently auto-uploaded to amazon within a few minutes. So... According to the raw numbers I am missing 30GB, which is NOT insignificant. According to AMazon, they do not compress the files, so the data in their cloud SHOULD equal the size of the source data on my NAS How do I figure out whats missing? Any suggestions?
