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 ...

Hi, I am having the same problem.
Everytime I copy over a file it crashes/freezes on 6.4.
I then have to unplug NAS and as soon as it starts back up it starts a resync.
I can then copy over all the files I want while it resyncs, but after it finishes it resyncing and I copy over a new file it crashes yet again.
Been going on since the upgrade to 6.4
Please advise.

I have the same issue. I am using iSCSI for a backup exec v10 on W2008 connection as the software does not like mapped drives. I have now disable every feature on the RN 104 from cloud connections, snapshots, all apps, to ups and even any schedule jobs (scrub and defrag) and I changed the network connection to active backup. So far it seems to be working for a 3-4 days so far without issue.Check your logs to see if anything is scheduled to run.
Please keep me posted if you find out anything? BTW I tried the previous older 2 firmware versions and had the same issue. I have just started to download the logs and I'm going to watch for memory issues as per this link http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/hardware/is_there_a_way_i_can_verify_if_my_memory_is_good.

Hi robbobdean, NetworkMechanic & coxo01,
Aside from running Memory test, kindly send us a copy of your current device logs so we can have a further look at your units to see what's wrong. You may also contact our support team for further assistance.
Kind regards,

I have had the same issue and after reinstalling the Firmware it was resolved.
After reinstalling firmware all NIC's are unbonded.
As soon as I bond the NICs again it has the same issue.
I have left both NICs unbonded and I do not see an issue.
