ReadyNAS 2120 crashes after 6.4.1 update

Hello all,   First of all, I want to wish you a happy new year!   Here's the issue I have. We bought a ReadyNAS 2120 in 2014. It has been running well until we upgraded the firmware to 6.4.1.   ...

    You should give ReadyNASOS 6.4.2-T59 (Beta 1) a try.

     

    We've shared this with some other 2120 users who have reported crashes on 6.4.1 and got some positive feedback.

Hello, mdgm thanks for the quick response!

 

I created the post and then found out the discussion on 6.4.2-T59 (Beta 1). Silly me :smileyvery-happy: 

 

I will try the firmware upgrade tomorrow as the NAS is currently resyncing.

 

Thanks again!

I'd much rather you ask a question than to wish you had later. Your post was quite sensible.

    Upgrading the firmware to the 6.4.2 beta has fixed the issue. I was able to do a full backup from the NAS to the external HDD with 0 crashes or issues.

     

    Thanks again for the help!
