NAS 104 locking up
Hi.. I having an intermittently problem with my NAS 104 (sw 6.0.5) after a few days of operation the unit freezes , no response from the web or Power button. The only way to recover is to remove th...

Disabled the Anti-Virus (real time AV) scanning and went from lockups every 2 hours to every 10-14 hours.
This morning finally worked out how to disable the DNLA server and it's been running stable since.
Also noted that no swap is ever used (now I know why - setting swappiness soon) - also noted in logs that the OOM killer is nuking just about everything when the issues occur...
Netgear support has no clue so far.. I'm staying quiet in the hope that they might get to it themselves and as such they might actually fix it (though I am not holding my breath...)
