Read-only file system (30)

[alasoft]

Hello all,

Well, I had a 1TB Seagate ES drive fail after 3 years in a TS-109 Pro II. I had an external backup via Esata, so I took a WD Green desktop 1TB drive I had and installed it in the Qnap and it rebuilt the filesystem. I then restored settings from a backup I had. I then copied the folders back to the new drive with no problems. I had been running this drive for about 2 weeks without a problem when I got the replacement Seagate ES drive. I thought I would save some time and I used a disk copy program (EaseUS) to duplicate the WD drive. I then put the Seagate ES drive in the Qnap and booted up with no problems. The drive said "Good" under the SMART settings in the Web GUI after I ran a complete test. I was able to see all of my folders and files with no problems.

Then I started getting emails from 2 remote Qnap NAS devices that had been working fine doing rsync jobs back to my Qnap NAS. They were timing out with the following error message:

" Level: Error
[Remote Replication] meansbu failed: rsync: failed to set times on "/public/." (in meansbu): Read-only file system (30). Begin 3rd retry."

Otherwise, everything works fine. The users have the same access as before. Nothing has changed. Is it possible that the Qnap device changed the folders to "read-only" for some reason?

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike
I've got a similar problem. Firstly I think these 3 years failures ARE NORMAL !!!! I've had 2 out of 2 systems. I think Qnap are out of order here.
I've put a Seagate drive in system 2 that was the one returned from Seagate replacement under guarantee from system 1.
I've begun to load up, but notice the eSata external drive is Read Only ????? I cannot use Microsoft networking or Web File Manager to write to it.
But if I use System Adminstration to backup a test folder on the new main system to the external eSata, it works fine.....
Puzzled.....

Also using my other Unix system, and ftp
I can log in as admin , cd to eSATADisk1 and put a file.
If I log in as a user that has administrator permissions, it will not let me do that.

You hold Qnap responsible for the fact that your disks fail after 3 years in service? Get real!

This is extremely confusing as you now talk about external disks that is totally unrelated to the very special topic of this thread...

By default (I think) external disks are only accessible by administrators, so I guess you need to change the rights on your external disk if you have the requirement to have it accessed by regular users.

Just in case anyone else has this problem, here is what I did. I took the external drive out of the dock, formatted it as NTFS on a windows system, put it back into my eSATA external dock connected to the QNAP TS-109, formatted it as EXT3 and Q-RAID1. Please note that my original thought was that this is a normal RAID 1 (mirroring), but QNAP does something funky with it, so it is not normal. It took 6 days (YES, that's right, 6 days) to finish the duplication. At that point it had to do another duplication which took another day. For good measure I did another before removing the external drive, shut down the QNAP, removed it's internal drive, replaced it with the drive I just took from the external dock and booted back up. Everything worked fine. My backup Rsync jobs now work again with NO read-only errors. Hope this helps someone else!
