Crashplan JRE update needed
Crashplan released an update on 21 September 2015 (4.4.0) which fails to install on my pro-6 (running 4.2.28).
The issue is that the new service requires jre 1.7 or jre 1.8, and my system was r...

Have fun!

Downgrading the firmware won't help unless you go so far back that you'd downgrade the linux kernel to something between 2.6.13-2.6.26.
Options I see are:
(a) upgrade to OS6, restore the NAS data and reinstall crashplan.
(b) Switch to a PC client, backing up the NAS using this procedure: https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/4/Backup/Backing_Up_A_Windows_Network_Drive
(c) find a way to upgrade glibc on OS 4.2.x (probably this requires setting it up so only Java 1.8 uses the upgraded library)
Or
(d) use my Dropbox add-on v2.0.x which has libc6 2.13 bundled ;)
(e) wait until I find the time to prepare a separate libc6 2.13 add-on bundle (current estimate would be this weekend, maybe earlier if my workload permits)
One can of course try option (c) but I can tell from experience that building eglibc 2.13 is no fun if you want to get it compatible with the ReadyNAS.

I love those options.
Can you post back here when (e) is ready? Will you'll distribute it through rnxtras.com?
Crashplan stopped working after the 4.5.0 upgrade on a ReadyNAS Ultra w/ RAIDiator 4.2.28. uname -r is 2.6.37.6.RNx86_64.2.4 but ldd (GNU libc) 2.7. Is there an addon for RAIDiator to upgrade glibc to 2.9+? Is there a DropBox add-on that will upgrade glibc?
Thanks.

Thanks.See the marked solution - That upgrades glibc to 2.13. whocares_ has chosen not to charge for it (though you will need to go through the checkout motions at rnxtras.com).
The link to the add-on states "ReadyNAS OS 4 x86 only". The Ultra 2 is not running OS 4, and my understanding is that an upgrade is not available.
I just installed in on my Ultra 6 running RAIDiator 4.2.28 this morning and it solved the issue with Crash Plan for me.

The ultra certainly runs OS 4. That means your firmware is 4.2.x.
Excellent! I just installed the glibc upgrade add-on on the Ultra 2 w/ RAIDiator 4.2.28, and CrashPlan 4.5.0 is running OK. Thanks for all the help--I was beginning to panic!
