To get the fix for the anti-virus issue you can update to ReadyNASOS 6.5.0-T338 (Beta 2) (or later). Alternatively if you prefer you can stay on 6.4.2 for now and install the hot-fix (which is now available).

Still applies after 6.4.2 T59 upgrade. As soon as a scrub starts, the load (as seen by top) increases dramatically because of kworker/u2:xx processes. On my RN102, there are three of them, plus the other processes that normally run all the time. Load now is at 9-10.
Haven't seen this in 6.4.0, but since I use scrub jobs starting at 03:00, they are normally finished by the time I look at CPU stats. Now with 6.4.1, they seem to take a lot longer.
Of course using the disk being scrubbed for any file IO takes forever.
