NV+ 4.1.10 upgrade failed

If you aren't running the stock RAM you might need to downgrade (4.1.8 or 4.1.9).

What are the steps to downgrading to 4.1.8 from 4.1.10? I'm assuming you can do this without losing your data, just a firmware downgrade right?
Also, those that are just pulling a drive and it comes up, do you reseat your drive and it resyncs and everything is normal again?

I did not lose any data when I did the downgrade. Here's the link for 4.1.8:

Here are teh instructions I used (but, I substituted use of the 4.1.8 firmware):

Great, thanks for this help. Does anyone know if 4.1.11 or the next whatever update, will fix this issue, or is this done on purpose?
I can't imagine they'd want us to not have 1GB of memory, on purpose.

Frankly I'm surprised they left the problem unattended thru two releases already. NG overseas support was absolutely NO help to me. I was down for days until a kind poster pointed me in the right direction.

I also run a Netgear UTM 5 on my network, and those devices have also seen a complete halt in their software development over the last year (with some serious bugs left unpatched for years now). Netgear seems to have decided to abandon even the appearance of product improvement and product support.

A few months ago I migrated from a 6 year old ReadyNA NV to a Pro6, and I had a senior technical support lead at Netgear tell me that there was no way that I, as the administrator, could migrate user home share data between the boxes. He was insistent that the only way to migrate that data was for each user to manually copy over their own data. As I suspected, this turned out to be nonsense; but, Netgear was of no help solving the problem.

Netgear's deminse is very sad...

This ReadyNAS NV+ has been fairly solid for me, but all my co-workers have recently moved away from Netgear and over to Synology. Maybe its my turn?

Does downgrading to 4.1.8 make you lose all your shares, do they have to be recreated?

Downgrading is not supposed to cuase the loss of any configuration information or data. I did not experience any loss when I downgraded. That said, I can't make any guarantees.

Ok, I will give it a try and go from there, thanks for the information.
