Limit On Volume Count?

Actually, I am a newcomer to the forum. I actually came to ask a question, which has been answered. I will poke around more to see what is up with the new OS.

OS6 was a big change and was apparently rushed into production before it was ready, especially for the low-powered devices (the high-end x86-based boxes seemed to have fewer problems with the initial versions of OS6). Netgear has been working hard on the major showstopper bugs -- crashes and freezes, broken hardware, suboptimal filesystem configuration, incompatibility with the latest desktop operating systems, etc. -- and at this point those seem to have been fixed.

So that's good, but there are still plenty of less-critical problems. The web interface has basic flaws: obvious configuration options that are inexplicably missing, non-orthogonal backup options (to be fair, that's a problem in OS4 as well), seemingly trivial features like disk spindown that were available on OS4 but are still missing from OS6, etc. I've deliberately chosen not to run OS6 on my old boxes because OS4 still works better... At least for my definition of "better".

Anyway, welcome to the forum. I think you'll find a lot of interesting information here as you explore.
