I am setting up a small home server for Plex, media, fileshares, etc. In doing so I have installed a Seagate NAS drive which seems to work perfectly. I have it in mounted from fstab and it mounts to /media/Vault. It is formatted with ext4.



When I run df -h it shows me I am using about 6% on that drive (I have some existing files on there). When I want to copy anything to the drive the system locks up and lags. When I finally get a chance to run df it shows that I am using 100% of that drive, until it crashes and reboots. Running df again after the reboot shows that it is back to 6%.



Why?

  • Is the mount over the network to your laptop? Are you trying to copy a really big file?
