I'll add a few more . . .
When adding a new drive to expand a volume the web interface says "resyncing" while the LCD display on the NAS says "Reshaping".
When moving from page to page within the web interface frequently the new page does not refresh. For example, after copying 500GB of data to the drive tand then clicking on the volume and share pages the information is not updated until you tap the "refresh" button. (It also happened when I cleared the logs and then was perplexed that the counts at the bottom of the page remained(!) including some critical (red) ones. A page refresh was needed.)
More seriously, the NAS name is not reliably displayed on the browser window tab. I've not been able to reliably and repeatedly reproduce this but it continues to happen (and is a big pain (!!) 'cause I'm working with 3 NASs right now). See the attached screenshot.
FWIW last year I suggested that NetGear add the NAS name to all the screens and not rely on the browser to display it on its tab(s). The idea was rejected but maybe it is time to reconsider?
TIA

Performance does show volumes, not disks. Classic problem when using a NAS as a disk server. The ReadyNAS design might keep volume information internally, and does not remove the labeled data when adding a new volume, without properly removing the old one. Did yiu had the old (I assume single disk) volumes properly removed before adding nw storage blocks and adding yet another new volume?

Explain what you see, experience ....

Agree, not nice.

That's how it is since day one of OS 6 - no internal view is updated automatically. That's why they have the odd [Refresh] button all over.

In my opinion, clearing logs and audit trails is a bad way of systems management - that's why this bug [there are some overview counters shown below right along with the paging navigation] is not becoming visible very often.

The hostnames show up rock solid here (and that was my proposal during the early field test of OS 6 - I would have made a lot of noise if it would not shown reliably).

Can't see why, this should not be required - as is said above it's rock solid:
Do you have a bigger selection of Apps installed on your ReadyNAS?
