Bluesound Vault crashing after purchase of Powernode
Answered
Before I bought a new Powernode (latest version) last week, my Vault 2i was working perfectly.
Both are running through the same app, of course.
However, when I transfer folders from my laptop to the Vault, 50% of the time the Vault crashes (the Vault gives out a laptop onscreen network warning and the device then restarts). As I said, it was working perfectly before I bought and set up the new Powernode last week.
Any ideas why the Vault is crashing and what I can do to remedy the frequent crashing?
Thanks.

If using Wi-Fi on the laptop to transfer tracks try using an Ethernet connection as that much more reliable and faster and see what happens.

Sorry was in a rush earlier when I replied, there are apps to help with copying large amounts of data and to stop this error. I have used SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner with great success moving data around, particularly from a NAS to another networked device and the copy is initiated on a Mac.

The error may be due to the version of MacOS. The Apple Community site has many posts regarding this particular error when transferring using SMB.

This one suggests using AFP rather than SMB for large network transfers.
It appears that SMB doesn't work on Mojave when you're trying to connect to a non-APFS drive. You can use AFP to connect and it should work.

Many thanks for you kind responses.
- I have both devices connected through cable so am not using wi-fi to connect either of them.
- I shall look at both SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner. I had never heard of either of them.
- I'm updated to Sequoia 15.1 on the laptop, but the problem may persist from Mojave, perhaps. I shall read what the link says that you have kindly provided.0
