I hope this doesn't become a common occurence but I have searched for an answer but have been unfruitful.

 

I'll post a syslog when I get home but hopefully its as simple as my previous inquiry (Did not Plug into the right outlet of UPS).

 

So the Server has been operational for about 3-4 weeks now.  (I'm still on Basic while I'm testing it out before I go Pro but I've got the drives pre-cleared and such.)

 

So currently its 3 x WD20EARS  with one being a Parity Drive.

 

So for the first 3.5 TB that I've filled there were no errors or such.  Recently though when I try to Unrar 10GB files or transfer 8GB files from other areas to the Unraid Server it would timeout and then give me a Network Device not Found or Disk could be full error. 

 

I read somewhere that Kaspersky might be causing the network to time out somehow but then I thought why didn't it happen previously.

 

For the Min Free Space on the Shares, I've left them blank.  I also tried to put a number thats twice the largest file size and it still occured.  I find this strange or its because I'm unfamilar with the application.  Both Drives are using High Water.  There's about 436GB Left.

Do you have a directoy with a very large number of files in it?  Like 100,000 files?  I save my backups to a share directory on my unRAID and once the number of files got large I started to get time out errors from Windows 7 when I attempted to view the directory (though Win XP did not seem to have the same problem).  Usually I could get Windows File Explorer to open the directory on the second attempt, though the first attempt might take a minute to time out and fail.

Its at about 200 files I'd say so not very large but it does take a few seconds for Windows Explorer (in Windows 7) to pull it up.

Does the transfer work if you repeat it? Could this be a disk spin-up issue?

Unfortunately it does not.  Yeah I tried to double check by forcing it to spin up first.  No Go.

How much free space on each disk?

About 200GB each.  What's strange is that its intermittent.  For example this evening I haven't experienced any issue.

 

But yesterday it was it was transfer error, transfer error, work fine and then another transfer error.

 

 

What is the NIC chipset?

I too have seen this happen as drives get full. I first noticed this behavior a year ago, and since then I have seen others run up against this same issue. I have never seen the issue when transferring files within the server, using the command line or midnight commander, only Samba. As a work around I will move to a drive that is not as full, and then move it to it's desired location using midnight commander.
