Inaccurate reporting of used/free volume space?
Hi, may anybody now why the "Data" volume shows the following strange negative space and only the snapshot space is shown? FW is 6.9.3 I can access my data using win10 explorer. Data seem to be there. Furthermore the backup share shows a strange figure for the consumed space, too: Thanks for any help:smileyhappy: Carsten
ReadyNAS Hardware Performance
Hello, Currently have a ReadyNAS 4 bay model 314 is has 2 Western Digital 4T drives and 2 Western Digital 6T drives installed I have been trying to increase the perfromance of this device i.e ready/write speed. The devices are connected via a ISP modem Router rates at 1gigbit ethernet my issue recently has been with writing and deleting from this device has been slow. The network computers are iMac's running OSX 10.12.6 connected via gigabit ethernet. I have traced all possible avenues of where the speed can been effected the buiding's wired with Cat5e ethernet good cable. Also I notice that the device when booting slows when it reaches about 80% and seems to be working hard accessing the drives during boot with nothing to account for this. So I decided to wipe the drives and reinstall factory settings that strips the disks using X-RAiD. Duing the intiall factory reset the device decided to run Resyncing since their is no data on the drives I was wondering why. I also notice a chart in the Volume's menu under setting then select RAID it shows a triangle chart that on each point of the chart indicating three states of the Raid Volume. One state shows Performance in yellow and with a completion circle indicating decreased I assume. I was wondering if my having 2 different Harddrive sizes installed caused degredation of the Volume perfromance and this chart is show that. Would their be any advantage to change the drives to all the same size.Balance failed to start for volume data
