Re: ReadyNAS 104 system hanging frequently after 6.4.0 upgrade

Hello tipster71, Some users also got this working by changing MTU size. Try changing MTU size of the NAS to 1500, if it is already 1500, change it to 9000 then change it back to 1500. ...

Hello Conner,

Can you try ReadyNASOS 6.4.1-T35 (Beta 3)?

"Can you try ReadyNASOS 6.4.1-T35 (Beta 3)?"

Installed after the resync completed. Started copy again, froze the machine again. Had to pull the plug. It is resynching again, will be done in about 72 hours (again).

if it could just get to where it wouldn't hang the machine to the point it needed the plug pulled and rebooted, that would be an improvement.

I'll wait until a tested solution from here on out.

Thanks

Hello everybody,

I have the same issues after upgrading to 6.4.0 and "YES" it is a shame!!

Unfortunately, this thing has to run by the end of the week, no matter what. Here my solution: I order another ReadyNAS 2120 at Ama...on by Prime, will recieve it tomorrow and put the 4 hdds into the new chassie. Did anyone ever tried that? Can this work?

Regards,

Peter

  If the new 2120 is running something older than 6.4.0, it will attempt to downgrade. My guess is that will fail, though I am not certain. Make sure you have a backup before trying this.
  
  If this is business-critical, then I'd downgrade using ifixdevice's method, and restore data from backup. If the current NAS can't be taken out of service, then I'd get new HDDs with the second NAS and build it from scratch. It might take a bit longer, but it is certain.

    Hi StephenB,
    
    thank you for quick answer. It´s a pity. I have 16 VMware Guests running on that NAS for a training, of course with no backup. Is there any indication of a releasedate for 6.4.1?
