Worth updating forums for OS6 devices?

Emphatically yes please!
I've been working with a 104 for about three weeks. Basically a nice box for a small home office and media serving.
It does have some challenges with OS6 . . .
According to one tech at Netgear the Antivirus scanner may be consuming way too much of the processor resources in certain instances. This could easily be tuned.
At first I was able to repeatedly lock up the box by copying large groups (over 1000) of photographic image files (several GB) to the NAS but that seems to have stabilized (thank goodness).
Backup does not seem to work at all on a schedule (Bug) but does work if you kick it off manually. I've had challenges with assigning rights to a drive connected to the eSATA port.
And the documentation is pretty basic . . .
So a dedicated forum would be great to air these (and other issues) without having to dig through the "history" of the rest of the ReadyNAS product line.
My 2 cents.
