My Ultra 6 on 6.4.0 upgraded and works flawlessly. My RN102 2-bay ARM model will not shut down gracefully. This is affecting a number of people

It works better on legacy than the modern replacements.

  I have an Ultra 6 Plus that I am ready to upgrade from 4.2.27. Can I go straight to 6.4?
  
  Is there a more recent set of instructions? The ones I've found have links to download files but the links are broken and the instructions were written for ver 6.1. I'm looking for something more current without having to read 125 pages in that thread.
  
  TIA

    Hi,
    I upgraded to 6.4.0 and later to 6.4.1RC1. on my RN ultra 2. I have to restart every second day or so. The "find" command is filling up my memory and swap file. After 24 hours it is about 300 tasks (50 running) of the "find" command. I did a killall and got a lot of free memory, cpu and only about 180 tasks in "top". After some hours it is building up again. Does anyone know what is going on?
