Title: All of a sudden I can't transfer large files to my partition
Post by: geestring3 on October 11, 2009, 05:27:09 PM

so I have two samsung 1tb drives.

500gb of each is volume_1 which is raid_1 i believe.

and 500gb of each is jbod and is volume_2

I used to be able to transfer flawlessly to vol2 but it ended up only allowing me to transfer to the root of vol2. Now it won't even let me do that.

Under osx it gives me a "some files could not be transferred".

under windows it's a vague "i/o" error.

Is it possible to just "reformat" the jbod section? Or do I have to do both 1tb drives? Volume1 is fine.

Are you using a wireless network?

No you cannot reformat a single drive, the admin page does not facilitate that.

One word of caution, if you have a JBOD partition and either drive fails, you will lose access to the data in the JBOD volume, even if it's entirely contained in the remaining volume, also, assuming that you are correct and you do have a RAID1 partition, if a drive were to fail, and you replaced it, the system would rebuild the RAID array, but not the JBOD volume, so you'd end up with half of your disk space unutilized.

Just my $0.02, but the JBOD configuration on this devicehas no practical use - and the same goes for the RAID0.

well raid1 is for important files.

jbod is for movies and stuff that I'm willing to lose.
so the jbod is across both drives... I can't just clean the jbod itself? Or do I have to wipe both 1tb drives?
