readynas backblaze b2 problem connection
I am on OS 6.10.6. Every time I try to connect to Backblaze b2 via the s3 interface, I get an error "unable to read amazon bucket list." This is in the system log: Dec 07 12:35:17 phoenix libng...

I have exactly the same problem. While it hasn't solved my issue, your S3/Backblaze key must have the listAllBucketNames permission.

I think I have determined that the readynas s3 code uses V2 security, and backblaze requires v4. I switched to using duplicity.

Backblaze support seems to agree: "The requirement for V4 signatures is indeed a part of the S3 compatible API. The older versions have been deprecated and as a result, we have stopped supporting them. Unfortunately, I am not able to troubleshoot their device and it's utilities. I would recommend reaching out to their support to see if there is a way to update or alter the signature they are using. Apologies for not being able to be more help there."
We really need Netgear Support to chime in here with their viewpoint. Is Backblaze unusable with ReadyNAS forever? Does that mean other S3 interfaces will die as they stop accepting V2 signatures?
