iPhoto '11 TROUBLE
My problems started when I launched iPhoto '11 for the first time. I received the warning "The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported." I ha...
I'm just a NetGear customer like you guys. It's a known fact that iLife is not designed to work over network protocols. Go and ask Apple if it's designed to work over AFP or CIFS if you don't believe me.
The simplest solution would be to store the iPhoto library on your Mac and back it up to the NAS using Time Machine.
NetGear can't help it that Apple doesn't design it's software with storing a library on network volumes in mind.

The Sparc line (e.g. Duo, NV+) is entry-level and iSCSI performance isn't very great on that, though it's still the best way to store an iPhoto library on a Sparc ReadyNAS. I don't expect NetGear to add iSCSI to the Sparc line. If you want to use iSCSI it's best to purchase a NAS (e.g. NVX, Ultra, Pro) with the speed to do it well. Or re-think about whether storing the primary copy of your library on the NAS is really the best way to go.
Edit: Btw, I wouldn't suggest throwing away your old ReadyNAS if you move to a new one. That would be a waste. You could use it to backup the new one (See http://www.readynas.com/?p=3153) or something else e.g. sell it.
