Convince me to stay with ReadyNAS
NetGear seem to be neglecting the ReadyNAS product line. Apparently even the top most models the 3220 and 4220 are only SATA II based whereas everyone else making computers or servers or NAS boxes has...
Let me add my experience to this thread:
Case #23923006:
Followed up with logs, detail, a note that simply reverting to 6.1.8 allows the transfer to resume and run to completion and a note that rebuild times are insane because the array had no write-intent bitmap.
The response:
I would point out that 6.1.8 is also kernel 3.0.101 *but* Netgear backport BTRFS changes from dev to stable. The answer is technically correct but basically flannel.
You can draw your own conclusions.
Case #23923006:
What kernel did you use for 6.1.9? Within seconds of upgrading to it and putting load on I see btrfs hang and have to force a reboot. It wouldnt be based on something between 3.14 and 3.16-rc5-ish, would it? The dmesg traceback looks like the known hangs for kernels in that sort of range. Yeah, Im downgrading to 6.1.8...

The response:
the kernel version of 6.1.9 firmware is 3.0.101.
It looks like you had access to the device in ssh and executed some commands as mdadm, can you confirm?
in this case Netgear can deny support ( see user manual http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS%20OS6.1%20SW%20UM16Oct2013.pdf on page 193)
otherwhise I shall inform you that your phone support has expired on Feb 26, 2014 and you need to purchase a phone support contract ( you can choose a per-incident support or a 24x7 contract )
