General Feedback on 6.2.3/6.2.4

I've had no issues with it on my RN102. (I'd been running the 6.2.3 betas, the upgrade to 6.2.3 was painless).

I have noticed the following:

PC Desktop with a Core i7 Extreme 980x/256 SSD OCZ-AGILITY
Upload and download speeds (using a 1 gb avi file are at 118mbps using SMB and FTP protocols)

Macbook Pro Retina 15" Core i7 2.3 Ghz / 512 SSD
Upload and download speeds (using a 1 gb avi file are at 94 mbps using SMB and 117 mbps using FTP protocols)


SSH Testing

I have noticed that the web interface seems to load faster in addition to certain functions (i.e. share listing).

Raidar 6.0 is lovely!!

My hats go off to the developers for (I imagine) keeping us OS legacy hardware guys in the arena!!!

No problems at all on my personal 516, as well as several 3220s and a 3130 (thanks for fixing that annoying Vcore message, it was driving me mad!) that I feed and care for. None of those units use AD integration, so I'm not affected by that bug. By pure luck, one 3220 that is AD joined I didn't have a chance to update because I didn't have a maintenance window...will be holding on upgrading until that one's fixed.

Overall, good release for us!

Very Good Release !!! Also the Raidar 6 is excellent update .

I've used all the 6.2.3 beta releases and now the final 6.2.3 on my 316 with no issues whatsoever.

6.2.3 is running fine on my RN102, but I've got a couple of gripes about the new Raidar 6 as compared with the old 4.3.8:

- Uses far more screen real estate.I only have two NAS, but I still have to scroll between them. What if I had 10 NAS boxen?
- Doesn't show my UPS status
- Doesn't show volume status
- Doesn't show fan speed

Mostly it's the real estate that's the problem. Can we have a version with a compact view and more info? For now I'm sticking with the old version.

6.2.3 installed fine on my RN314 when t was officially released, and I have since added another disk to the array to fully populate it.

However, checking the log this morning I note a message ''System: UPS on Port:USB removed. Manufacturer: CPS, Model: BR850ELCD, Serial: ." and sure enought the NAS has lost sight of my UPS. Any ideas team?

6.2.4. Installed fine on my RN104. No issues whatsoever, but then the same was true for 6.2.3. :D

There is another post which specifically includes this http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=80273. (It was happening on the previous OS).

Both updates to 6.2.3 and then 6.2.4 went smoothly. Not certain why they had to be within a few days of each other though.
However, during the few days of 6.2.3 a 'data scrub' was carried out and took slightly longer (1.6%) than that for 6.2.2.
See post http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=79865 for further details.
I suspect that this is not that significant. Next time a 'scrub' is carried out it will be on 6.2.4 or higher.
