LS500GL disk errors on backup

[dilltech]

   

I recently added an external 500GB USB drive to my LS500GL. I also updated to 1,15 FW and latest NAS program.

 

The purpose of the external 500GB USB was to backup the main drive nightly at 3AM.

 

I am receiving 30-100 disk error email daily, the errors are disk write errors and NOT always at the time of the backup.

 

I have done a disk check and it returns OK

 

Ideas???

Did you format the external HDD to XFS?

 

To do this:

 

1. Log into your web user interface by opening your web browser and typing in the IP address of the NAS found in the NAS Navi utility. (Note: if you don't have the NAS Navi you can get it here).
2. Login with admin/password
3. Go to Disk Management
4. Go to Format Disk
5. Choose your USB external drive as a target and format in XFS
6. Once the drive is formatted the errors should stop

Let us know how this works out.
