This is a test system that has 3 volumes with 8 GB each and doesn't share/export any volume. No replication, no failover, no backup .... It's running idle.
It is a USB dongle system branded by transtec. It's running on a 1 GB USB dongle. Before I started the trial operations for upgrade, there was one instance of open-e present in the S/W update sections:
6.0up50.xxxx.4786 2010-09-29 b4786 357.4 (MB)
There were more than 600 MB free in the system.
When I tried tio upload the 5087 iso which has 370 MB, it timed out (not yet completed after one day).
I tried this several times, and with some tasks, the free space was reduced by some MB arbitrary.
Then, I used the "check" button to search for updates online. It finds a 370 MB update (obviously the right size, e.g. the right one), uploads, and nothing happens. I tried this several times again, and, again, with some of these tasks, he free space was reduced by some MB again.
Now, there are 424MB available space, but no new update file is present in the Version list.
Last, I tried to follow Todd's idea: Repair Filesystem in console and then a reboot. No effect.
This seems to me that the uploads/downloads have been ineffective but left some garbage data in the filesystem. This is no thing of filesystem damage, it a functional failure and left data garbage that can't be wiped because of the limitations of Open-e's GUI and console.
Or what?
In my experience, the GUI is the hitch with Open-e. It's not operable so often.
Can you send in the logs to support or pre-sales@open-e.com so we can take a look to see what is happening, typically there could be something wrong with the USB or other issue, paste this link when sending them in.
