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.

Thnx. For a NAS in use no option (i think). Thanks.
There is some down time.
Restoring the data with rsync took 1 TB per day. I think if you used NFS or CIFS it would have been > 4 TB per day.

6.4.2 update NOT RECOMMENDED for RN104 - AV issue still exists on mine even after reboot.

Hi amtrakuk1,
There are bugs and issues that were addressed by the Official 6.4.2 Firmware. We highly suggest that we keep are units up to date. With regard to the AV issue, we don't have a fix available at the moment.
Kind regards,

Not looking good on the RN 516 either. Installed 6.4.2 update and turned virus checker on again - SLOW again... real SLOW, like the subject says to the point of unusable. Turned off virus checker and all well again.
Please resolve.

Hi Skepher,
The Official 6.4.2 Firmware did not address the AV issue (check the release notes here). A fix will be available soon.
Kind regards,

Well that's no fun. I guess I incorrectly assumed the issue was resolved in 6.4.2.
For anyone else, read the notes (like I didn't).
6.4.2 does NOT fix the virus checker slow issue.
