OS 6.4.1 slow ... to the point of unusable
We just upgraded an RN102 to 6.4.1, which intially seemed to fix some backup issues we'd been working around, however we've just downgraded to 6.4.0 after seeing 6.4.1 being too slow to be usable (th...

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).
Thanks for your patience.

NAS 314 with 4 x 3TB drives
I have the same problem. Took me a few days to realise it was a NAS issue as the NAS upgrade to 6.4.1 coincided with a windows update and installing some new software on my PC. It also did not seem to affect read access from my IPAD. One thing that was odd was that after my PC restarted access to the NAS was OK for a short period ( a few minutes ) .
However I found that turning off the antivirus brought things back to normal. It is now useable again. I can live with out the antivirus as nothig has write access to the NAS except via my PC which has a very good anti virus . Also my network is proteceted by a hardware firewal/IPS.

Hello Peter_the_Hat,
Welcome to the community!
The engineering team is already aware of the problem with 6.4.1. Turning off AntiVirus is just a work around. They are working on this and we are waiting for the new official release.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

With me, turning out and dé-installing the antivirus had no effect on accesabilit. now i am back on 6.4.0 reinstalled antivirus and no problems besides the latest update of the antivirus set off the 'live scan' and i do not know how to ste it on. I do wat to be protected because although accessability by the internet is with VPN, it is software and software is to be hacked. We do not know when but it will be done.
So who can help this dummie on a how to reset the antivrius to 'live scan'?
By the way, the nas is not my back up but the live data. Several work stations have access.
Adri.
