pure performace and connecting losses after update to V 6.4.0 on RN 2120
After automatic update to V 6.4.0 our RN 2120 v2 performace is really pure. SMB-Connections to Windows 7 Clints are not stable and User/Group rights a ignored. We need a fast hotfix for those probl...
Correction of my first post:
"We need a fast hotfix for those problems because we can't use our ReadyNas as fileserver at the moment?"
list of my attempts without any improvements:
- try turning off disk spin down -> still SMB-connection losses
- try with SMB+ app to downgrade SMB-version of SMB to 2.0 an 2.1 -> still SMB-connection losses
- delete BOND0 and now using only one network device that is connected to switch with static IP adress > still SMB-connection losses
- user/group rights -> You have to select all single user in share-setting to give them read/write rights (grouprights are ignored!) and have fun, if you have more then 10 colleagues!
After contact with netgear support, the suggestion was: reinstall OS with boot-option -> I'll try to night and if I experience any improvements, I let you know!
best regards

"- user/group rights -> You have to select all single user in share-setting to give them read/write rights (grouprights are ignored!) and have fun, if you have more then 10 colleagues!"
This issue is fixed and will be included in next firmware firmware. Thank you.
summary after updating to 6.4.0:
- after update -> no data, no user-access, no Admin-Web-Interface -> No ReadyNAS
- a copple of hard-resets - short access and SSH enable -> with message from Netgear -> you may loose support from Netgear it you enable
- 1 week research in netgear-community and discussions -> list of feature to disable
- OS - reinstall without data-loss but no performance improvements
- reset to factory default, start right from the beginnig and recopy data from backup (3 days of time)
- disable snapshots, second network-card and loadbalancing, bit rot protection etc. (all features I bought a smart NAS and NOT a big network-disk)
- set all my 21 colleges and my 10 agents by hand on my 12 shares, because grouprights are ignored (guess, how many clicks)
- and even when I look in my (german) Admin-Web-Interface, an see lots of mistakes in this "UPDATE" -> quality NOT acceptable
What have I left after disable session: Just a unreliable big network-disc without user-management. This sort of disk I can buy in ebay for 100€, but I payed 1200 € for a smart modern NAS...
!!! NETGEAR WAKE UP !!!
What I miss: at least apology from netgear and an official date for a hotfix just to survey how long all affected user of READYNAS have to suffer, befor it'll be fixed?
best regards
