4.3 Update 4 - USB issue.

[nick w]

Having installed 4.2 on my hp micros server with a JBOD volume I thought I would do a complete rebuild to 4.3 update 4. I used a USB to SATA cable to copy all my data off.

 

My 4.3 Update 4 install was easy and successful and my 2x 4tb disks had been turned into a 4tb SHR volume. So last night I plugged my USB to SATA cable in to copy from my backed up 4tb drive and it knocked the network card in the hp micro server offline. I had to perform a hard reset. Change the USB socket didn't change anything and it kept knocking the nic offline.

 

Any ideas or suggestions?

At the moment I am copying 4tb (with another 4tb to transfer later) over Ethernet at 10mbs.....

 

Is anyone able to help?

 

Thanks

No ideas anyone?

I'm stuck. Was thinking of upgrading to 4.3 Beta 7.

 

What do you all suggest?

 

Thanks

Why not use another OS, like linux?

 

I'm currently backing up my data to a USB drive that I formatted ext4 in DSM (taking forever at 35MB/s). If I redo my synology OS I plan to just create a new array, power down, move the array to a linux VM (along with my backup drive), and then copy all the data to it - taking DSM out of the loop. The reason I am doing it this way is because when I copy my data from the backup drive, it will be connected via sata rather then slow ass usb - DSM won't just let you copy off another sata drive, unless it's estata, which is the reason I'll use linux.

 

This is a situation where having esxi is priceless. with a few clicks you can move disks from one VM to another

With my Western Digital Passport drive, I found that only after formatting it EXT4 from within a separate Linux installation did it work properly when plugged in to my XPENOLOGY machine. If I plugged in the drive before that, for whatever reason it would kernel panic the XPENOLOGY machine.
