*First it is not possible point shares to directories on the NAS, so no shares within shares or root shares possible. So if you want to be able to move files quick between shares you are stuck with one share, destroying the entire concept.

It would be nice if the 'admin' user could access a whole volume over CIFS for doing this like they could on 4.2.x

*The snapshot feature seem great at a glance but since you are stuck with one share and there is no way to limit the amount of space snapshots are allowed to use constant moving, deleting and changing of files will eventually eat up all your available storage space. And if you are using/changing large files this will happen sooner than later.

The setting for handling this is set by NetGear, I think.

*The antivirus feature are tempting, but a simple test moving large quantity of files locks up the NAS pretty bad, so the performance impact is reducing this feature to unusable.

If you have anti-virus software running on your PC that should be enough unless you download files direct to the NAS from untrustworthy sources and access those files from your PCs.

*the plex server is offered from start but is severely outdated so it wont work with the remote players (plex for windows 8 for example)

This should be updated in a future firmware update. For now you can update it via SSH.

Yes. Hopefully they will add the option to schedule some of these tasks in the future.

*Backup jobs can be directed to specific folders within shares but the option is not presented to you easily, you will have to manually inset the path by editing the job after it has been created, the browsing option is not working (take care to sett it properly before making a sync job, deleted an entire 2gb disk by accident because of this).

Yes you need to set the path correctly. No important data should be entrusted to a single device. If unsure as to what paths you should use experiment with test shares and/or ask for help here.

*And lastly there is still no auto block list feature whit connection log, something that has never been there and been sorely missed. So i guess the password boots have a good time with my NAS, and got all time they need to spam every possible password combination to get in to it.

It should be possible to edit the config via SSH. I haven't experimented with this though. A sqlite3 database might need editing too for the change to stick and survive a reboot.
