Import hangs between LRC and NAS Synology

Report · May 26, 2023

Hi,

Since I got my new Mac Mini with the M1 CPU, I've got bug for import my RAW files on my Synology, with Lightroom Classic.

My set up is :

Mac Mini Apple M1, 16 Go Ram, with 10 Gbit ethernet port connect to a Synology DS1618+.

Lightroom catalogue and cache is on a SSD 1T, connect with USB 3.1 to my Mac.

Raw files are import with a Lexar Hub connect with USB2.

The bug :

I'm pro photographer and when I import more than 500 Raw files (with or whitout predefined parameters), directly on my Synology, the Mac slow down, until it bugs, stops responding and ends up turning off and on again.

At restart, I've got a error message :

Panic (cpu 5 caller...) : watchdog timeout : no checking from watchdogd in 92 seconds....

It's been 6 month I try to resolve the problem with update system and LRC, changing my SSD by more speed (connect and enclosure).

My lightroom manage 15 years of pro shooting (1 million files), catalogue files is about 10 Go and preview file is about 72 Go.

I erase this last because it was about 350 Go before and I think it was to much, but without succed.

I uninstall LRC and reinstall, but nothing change.

If somebody can help me !!!

Thanks

Hi @albanpernet - Wondering if you ever found anything to help this issue? I am just returning from a trip where I took a few thousand photos and I'm hitting the identical issue. I'm finding I can import about 200 photos before things slow to a halt, everything hangs, and my M2 Macbook restarts. Same watchdog error message. I'm importing to a Synology NAS. I'm thinking I may have to rethink my storage situation. Thanks for any help here.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. That's nice to not be alone with this problem.

Now, I import my new pix on a SSD (500Mo) first, and after editing, post-processing and export, I transfer them on my Synology to archive. Also, work on SSD (connect on USB-C) is faster than work on Synology (connect on 10Gbit Ethernet).Cheers
