Just upgraded to 6.7.0....
And the NAS is stuck at 99% booting up, If there are any Beta testers about, Just wondering if this is normal due to the significant changes in the firmware, or if it's borked for the second time in ...
Thought I'd hijack my post back lol
Shortly after my last post I had the system running sweet as a nut, I dropped back to 6.6.1 without issue, disabled all non essential services and apps (Plex / Antivirus) and instantly saw the RN104 spring back to life, I took a gamble and re applied the 6.7.0 firmware and this time 100% success no noticeable issues and performance and stability were spot on.

fast forward to Yesterday.... and I notice that I've burnt through 1TB of free space and this is after a massive clear out of redundant shares and old files.... I relaised that I still had snapshots for said ancient files and decided to clear them out.... thats when I hit the now known issue in 6.7.0 where deleting snapshots send the device into meltdown quickly crashing the GUI... back to square one.
I may have screwed up here as I took it upon myself to download 6.7.1 Beta and create a USB Recovery stick and install that way, the process didn't work as Igot a message on the LCD I hadnt seen before... I tried to access the admin GUI but the NAS refuses the connection outright, I try RAIDair to access Diagnostics only to have the admin credentials declined.... Opted for OS Recovery to try and get back in.... no joy, won't accept defualt admin credentials via Raidair... Web GUI is a no go but strangly enough all my shares are accesable using the admin credentials via Windows explorer... so my Login works but I can't change anything lol
I'm stumped.... and toying with the idea of backing up all my data in Windows explorer and doing a factory restore. I might chance waiting for 6.7.1 but I reckon my free space will be gone by Next weekend :(

Definitely make the backup. That ensures that no matter what happens you won't lose anything.

Yes! Make a backup asap.
USB Boot Recovery is useless here.
You can try to access http://<ip_address>/fwbroker
If you can reach it, you could download 6.7.1 Beta 1 and install it that way.
Also note an OS Re-install on 6.7.0 (or later) disables quotas on the volume.
