Is firmware 6.10.1 safe to install on ReadyNAS 104?
Is it safe to install this update or will it brick the device again like 6.10.0 HF2 did? I've already seen posts from NAS users whose devices were bricked by this firmware. I'm a little reluctant...
Thanks mate but that's not quite what I asked. I had upgraded from 6.9.5 to 6.10.0 HF2 and the device had stopped working. It took some manual intervention on the command line to get it back into working order.
I just want to know if all will be fine when upgrading from 6.10.0 HF2 or if it requires manual intervention again in order to get it back up again. I never had an issue but the last upgrade was a bit of an eye opener.
Cheers
Hi SirToby, I have a guineapig nas RN104 running fine on 6.10.1 now, while I had issues (not that severe like you) with apps linux-dash and smbplus being on 6.10.0HF2. So, with your good backup at hand you might want to give it a try.
If you like to check some hints to improve performance and stability of RN104 in general you might want to have a look at the collected experiences of mine regarding that model following this link: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Idea-Exchange/Improving-performance-and-stability-of-RN104/idi-p/1253865
Kind regards
Thanks, I'll give it a try
