RN104 6.4.0 USB Disk becomes unavailable due to NAS Hang.

A plus one for me on this too..
Since the 6.4.0 my RN104 randomly hangs and requires removal of power to bring it back up.
I have noticed this most when trying to access the external USB drive attached to the rear lower USB port.
The folder structure of the USB drive can be read OK from the web gui, however, trying to expand the tree results in a hang.
From the Web GUI, trying to delete any folders from the USB tree will result in a hang, (espcially if they have a high file count) or the action not completing.
Accessing the USB folder tree from the WEB gui is painfully slow.. However, if the USB drive is network shared, access over the network is instant.
Connecting the USB drive to a windows PC reveals plentiful errors that chkdsk has to repair.. :-(
As a result of the drive renaimng, I had to recreate my backup schedule, however, the backs still don't run, as the NAS has hung up before the back up has run.
Sometimes the USB drive is not detected on NAS reboots.
I've never had a glitch with this until the 6.4.0 update....
Also very concerned that backs don't run now.. So this needs a quick fix..
