Bug Report: Firmware 6.4.0 Rsync Timeout
Hello Really one for Netgear support (posted here as I don't know how else to submit it). I use rsync to backup my ReadyNas 314 to an external eSATA drive. I had similar issues to others ...
Hi quickly_now,
Try the latest Beta Firmware for OS6 Series NAS (found here).
Let me know if this addresses both your issues with your external USB hard drive and rsync backup.
Kind regards,

Thanks BrianL
It took me a couple of days to be able to to do this at a non-critical time (the ReadyNAS is used all day every day in business).
I have done the update to the beta firmware.
No joy I'm afraid - if anything its worse, lots of io timeouts after 30 seconds. The --timeout=30 option is still being passed on the command line. No new options through the web interface to change that option or to remove it.
If anything this is a step back, as I'm no getting timeouts in places I did not get before. And as the beta release notes make it clear, rolling back does not seem to be an option.
More information:
Using ps I was able to get the command line, and then ran rsync to do my eSata backup, omitting the --timeout=30 option.
All works fine.
So the command line I used was:
rsync -v -8 --recursive --links --times --omit-dir-times --omit-link-times --devices --specials --modify-window=1 --delete --owner --group --acls /tmp/10219/data localhost::ESATA_HDD_4/
This works fine.
Suggestion: please allow us to change the timeout period. --timeout=30 is too short.
