Large File Problem eg. Backup-Jobs

[dotmatrix48]

Hi, I am a newbie.  What is and how do you activate the SSH console? My NAS keeps freezing as stated in the discussion but I also noticed that the drive is very hot. Is it supposed to be that way? I was thinking it was overheating & shutting down. I would really appreciate any assistance you can give me on this matter. Thanks, Dot

Having the same problem and would appreciate if someone can break it down into newbie steps of how to apply this solution.

Really appreciate any help, I had a lot of family pictures on this drive that are not anywhere else, I'm very stressed about losing all those memories!

Thanks again

Is thise "nice" removal fix still working? I'm afraid that if I do this change I could do some damage to the drive.

My NAS drive is locking up several times.

Thanks,

Roberto

Hello:

Thanks for the link to your post.

I have 2 My Book World Edition II NAS drives. They both are configured to use a static IP address and both are on the same workgroup.

One of them is supposed to be replaced with a newer one that I just installed yesterday.

What I am trying to do is to transfer all the information from NAS1 to NAS2.

Both are connected to a router.

I created a batch file that was basically several xcopy commands to copy all the information from NAS1 to NAS2.

As this process was going to take like 8 hours I ran the batch file yesterday at 4:00PM when everyone was logged off the NAS drives.

To my surprise this morning I found out that only a portion of the files were copied from the NAS1 to the NAS2.

After reading the system logs of the NAS1 drive I found a lot of errors.For example:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected

Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. (Connection reset by peer)

write_data: write failure in writing to client 192.168.10.105. Error Connection reset by peer

Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. (Connection reset by peer)

write_data: write failure in writing to client 192.168.10.105. Error Connection reset by peer

Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. (Connection reset by peer)

write_data: write failure in writing to client 192.168.10.105. Error Connection reset by peer

Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. (Connection reset by peer)

write_data: write failure in writing to client 192.168.10.105. Error Connection reset by peer

writing 4 bytes to client. -1. (Connection reset by peer)

write_data: write failure in writing to client 0.0.0.0. Error Connection reset by peer

getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone suggested that the problem has to do with the network speed.

The suggestion was to change from "auto-negotiate" to  Full Duplex 100 on the Cisco VPN router configuration.

What do you think?

Thanks

[jdz2k]

are both mbw still responding when you access them?

[robertin75]

When the copy fails the Windows XP PC that is connected to the VPN router as well which I use to log into the configuration screen gets frozen and I have to reboot it.

But other than that I can access both mbw with no problem.

So I've been trying to back up over 1.2TB of data to this device for days now. The small files copied over fine, but the large ones would lock the device up solid in a few minutes. I followed jdz2k suggestions for a fix and it appears like it worked it's been backing up for hours now with no issue.

However, there was one side effect, my write speeds are a 1/3rd of what they used to be, I'm lucky to get 5MB/s now. Anyone else seeing a slowdown in the write speed? 

I will never buy another WD product again, this unit is the biggest piece of crap I've ever owned. The engineers at WD should be embarrassed they put this product out with all the issues it has.
