RN 104 freezing/not responding/locking up with FW 6.4.0
RN 104 keeps freezing and becomes unresponsive (even the lcd screen freezes). I have to disconnect the power supply everytime. It tries to resync the data, but it freezes at random points. 3x 1 TB ...
Note there are some fixes in 6.4.2 beta that may also help if your lockups on your 104 started on 6.4.1. See https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Beta-Release/ReadyNASOS-6-4-2-T72-Beta-2/td-p/999457/jump-to/first-unread-message
Also note that there is currently a known performance issue with anti-virus enabled on 6.4.1+
Particularly if a volume is quite full, the larger node size from a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) on 6.1.5+ can be quite beneficial on the 104.
Thank you for the great replies and pointing me in the right direction.... I will go buy a few disks and proceed with replacing the existing ones and verify that indeed they have started to fail, all while monitoring the release of 6.4.2 ....:-)
