Can Netgear update the firmware to reflect new changes?
I remember when I first bought a used duo years ago, only to realized most of the feature s on the web interface were long discontinued, but still showing up on the page. Netgear could have cleaned up...

Second, Netgear quietly released a new version of OS, 6.10.9, but never made it official.
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/readynas_os_6#download does clearly show 6.10.9 is official and current.

This is a very important release, as 6.10.8 is completely useless.
Agree - only under some conditions. By far not all ReadNAS users are using the NAS beyond pure SMB storage.

What are admins doing? They are fully aware of the situation..
What admins are you referring? Nobody is left back or assigned for taking care about ReadyNAS. The horse is dead. Time to migrate towards better maintained NAS environment?
Appears it's difficult do understand (and even harder to accept for some people here) that ReadyNAS does no longer exist, no changes will be done, no future roll-out will be maintained.
I don't remember ever announced the release of 6.10.9 as they they usually. It ws rolled out only after people complained about the 6.10.8 stopped working without official announcement. If you look at this page where people normally download all the needed softwares, it still showes 6.10.8 as the current:

And if you try to update the firmware from 6.10.8, it tells you there is no new update.
Most people update their systems like this.

Not aware 6.10.8 stopped working ... probably some of the (mostly unsupported) Apps made it behave like that.
- Yes, 6.10.8 repo was damaged and they never fixed it. Instead, they quietly rolled out 6.10.9 without announcing it or made it available to auto-update. It is also hidden. It was one of the user who discovered it. It was never announced.
It should be made to allow audoupdat to access it.

As tigerten says, the Netgear repo for 6.10.8 has no essentially no accessible files in it.
A typical OS-6 Repo has about 1000 files and uses about 5.5 GiB of storage. 6.10.8 has only 34 files, and uses about 27 MiB. The problem is that the pool folder in the repo is missing (or perhaps inaccessible), and that is where all the packages reside.
The mods said they would look into it some months ago, but nothing was ever done.
Also, I discovered a couple of days ago that several of the apps on apps.readynas.com can no longer be downloaded. That includes Netgear-supplied apps (kernel plus and smb plus).
NiveditaP - is this something you can look into? Maybe also arrange to have 6.10.9 pushed on the normal update server???
