I have this same issue. I'm trying to delete the bond0 so I can create a new one and I get kfree+168 on the LCD. Same thing if I just try to modify the bond. WTF? How about some reliefe from this nonsense?
I am running the latest 6.10.2
Hopefully it's on the list of things to be fixed.
One thing you could try is doing an OS reinstall from the boot menu. That will
- reset the network to default settings (no bonding, MTU=1500, dhcp)
- change the admin password back to password
- disable volume quota (can be changed back on the volume settings wheel)
See pages 28-29 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
FWIW, the RN100 series performance is mostly limited by it's relatively slow processor and memory. There's not a lot of performance gain to be had with bonding. I'd just use it with one ethernet connection myself.

- jgisinJan 17, 2020AspirantThank you. I will try your suggestion and report back.
Does the OS reinstall affect any volume, share, user or sharing protocol settings? - DremscapeFeb 08, 2020Aspirant
Thanks Stephen, the OS re-install did the trick.

Update on this, although the OS re-install has returned the network setting to the default If i try to create a new bond between the nics it crashes with putname+14, so would appear that there is still in fact an issue.
