ReadyNAS Ultra4 - what can I do with it?
HI, I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 4 purchased in early 2013. I have been away for 2+ years (in the UK) and came back to find that I can not communicate with the NAS. Security issue I think. When I left it...

Btw, why can't I access folders "c" and "home" and what is in them?
"C" is the entire data volume. You actually can browse it if you
- set the admin password to something other than the default netgear1
- use the NAS admin credentials in file explorer
If you do that, you'll see all the shares (and home). These aren't duplicates, it's just another path to get to the same folders. Using admin credentials to access NAS shares is discouraged. but there are some times when it is useful.
"Home" is where the private "home" folders for each NAS account are placed. These are folders that only that account (and the NAS admin) can access. While the "home" folder feature makes sense for businesses, I think home users are better off not using it. Those folders can be challenging to back up/restore.
I've gone ahead and installed Debian12/OpenMediaVault but currently troubleshooting the same poor ethernet performance no different than what is observed when running ReadyNAS4/6. Anyone have thoughts on how to achieve gig speeds?

What speeds are you seeing?
Do you have an Ultra 4? If not, what model do you have?
StephenB: yes, this is an Ultra4 running the latest Debian12+OpenMediaVault. Here are some stats from the system. the OS is installed to a usb stick (64gb), 4GB of memory as well.

What speedtest result do you get on a PC?
ok. I am using two systems in this scenario for the iperf3 - readynas01 (the readynas) and plexk8s01 (vm)

This looks like normal gigabit performance to me (~940 mbits/sec).
So I don't understand what problem you are trying to solve. Is the issue really about file transfer speed?
