ReadyNAS OS 6.10.9 now available – With almost no info
ReadyNAS OS 6.10.9 now available! https://kb.netgear.com/000065653/ReadyNAS-OS-Software-Version-6-10-9 But there is almost no release information. What is new? There is no option to filter ...
They fixed the readynasos repository. I think that is all they did. I believe the packages in 6.10.9 are exactly the same. However, the two, now defunct debian repo are still not fixed.
The last time Readynas got security update was December 2022.
Migrate the readynasos to the current debian is imperative.
Is there a plan Netgear will ever address this? I am sure all the current users will be grateful the Netgear does not abandon them.

Are you sure they haven't abandoned us? The ReadyNAS 6.10.9 update does NOT install automatically (or even appear when you click "Check for Updates" in the ReadyNAS interface). Netgear has yet to make an announcement of any kind about the release, nor provide any useful release notes (I'm sorry, but "addresses security vulnerabilities" without saying which security vulnerabilities are addressed, is NOT a release note; it's an insult.)
And they've broken access to this very Community Support Forum so that if you have a bookmark pointing to it (as well as a lot of the links on Netgear's website), you are taken to a version of the support forums that support ONLY Netgear Wifi and Mesh routers (coincidentally the only home products they produce anymore.) It's as if they not only don't want to support their discontinued products anymore, but they don't want users of their products to help each other with community support. I guess they want us all to dump our outdated Netgear products in a landfill, bury them, and pretend they never existed.
timbck2 It usually takes about 2 weeks from that a new update is published until it is available via OS6 web admin update.
They didn't manage to announce here in the forum about the previous update either.

Yes - they've never said why there is a lag, but I suspect it is because they are wanting to see if there are any issues in the field before they push it out to everyone.
Install OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS, Unraid, Proxmox or whatever you like on your ReadyNAS.
The ReadyNAS OS saga is over.
Re. The ReadyNAS OS saga is over.
Since the ReadyNAS Pro 6 has quite a nice footprint and is very well built, has anyone ever thought about stripping the case, putting in a new Micro ITX board, raid controller and probably a PSU and install TrueNAS or any other still supported open source OS?
I'm interested in any views on this?
Why not just put in the VGA cable to the internal header and use the existing hardware with another OS? It's still fast enough to run one of the systems you mentioned. The lack of USB3 might turn some off, but I never use USB drives with my NAS.
I wasn't aware this was an option. Can you provide some links to documentation on installing alternatives to ReadyNAS OS on an RN-214?
