Any leads as to why the NAS is freezing up regularly? Only 18% of the disk capacity is being used....

Hard to say, though Netgear might be able to sort it out if they had the logs.  Hopefully they'll ask :smileyhappy:

 

There are a couple of fixes in 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 beta that might be related.

-Fixes potential network buffer overrun with heavy traffic on RN102/104/2120.
-Fix potential hang due to a race condition when using the CPU's RAID5 offload engine. (RN104)

Hi,

 

I posted here, rather than start a new thread, as it's the same FW being used.

 

I have an RN102, it's been running fine since I bought it in Oct 2015. On Jan 11 2016 it started going off-line/freezing, only way to get back is power off by removing the plug.

 

I updated to 6.4.0 when I first bought it, have tried 6.4.1 (Jan 11) & 6.4.2 T72 (Jan 13) since problems started, no better.

 

I just disabled "disk spin-down" to see if that's a problem.

 

I have no apps installed, no anti-virus running, using SMB, NFS, HTTP, HTTPS, uPnP, & SSL.

 

It has 1 x 3Tb JBOD and 1x 2Tb JBOD.

 

Emailed the lastest logs to mdgm.

 

Thanks,
