I'm using the Linkstation Quad 4x1TB with factory settings and FW v1.11
Here's a screenshot of the stall, I just got this unit, and would keep it if it weren't for this stall.
Notice the bursts of activity, and then equal timespans of 0 kb/s transfer rates. I have to use Beyond Compare's folder sync mode to reliably copy through these stalls. Both linux and windows will sometimes copy through a stall, but many times the stall will make the copy operation time out and report failure, which makes the device not worth having, as I'm copying 1000's of files and can't manually inspect those to find the failed copies.
Can we get some official information on the forum that might let us know if Buffalo admits this is an issue and what they are doing about it? Can we expect a detailed work around or firmware fix? This happenens on almost every transfer in or out of the linkstation.
The Local Area Connection below is the transfer to the linkstation. the flat lines at 0% are the stalls.
