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?
