Shares now Read Only after Updating to 6.7.1
I have an RN526X as my primary server and use a RN314 as a backup server. Yesterday, I upgraded both systems to OS 6.7.1 Each night at 10:00, the RN 526 sends an incremental backup to a folder o...
Apparently I spoke too soon when I reported that things were now working correctly.
As I reported yesterday, it appeared that upgrading to 6.7.4 resolved the issue as I was able to complete a manual DR backup job and it automatic DR jobs worked perfectly for two (maybe three) days. This morning, when I opened my email, I was surprised to find a string of messages from the 526X stating that all of the ReadyDR jobs failed because there was a Read-only file system or there was an input output error. Here are the actual error messages:
| ReadyDR job failure: Read-only file system [VideosDR] | ||
| ReadyDR job failure: Read-only file system [SoftwareDR] | ||
| ReadyDR job failure: Read-only file system [SharedDR] | ||
| ReadyDR job failure: Input/output error [PicturesDR] | ||
| ReadyDR job failure: Input/output error [DocumentsDR] | ||
| ReadyDR job failure: Input/output error [DavidDR] |
I have not changed anything on the 314 and haven't even added any new data to the 526X since rebuilding the ReadyDR jobs last weekend. This has happened spontaniously.
Any idea why this is happening and how to corrct it?

I don't have an answer for you but I have posted about this problem several times before and never got an answer.
This is one of the threads:
I have factory defaulted my unit several times as this seem the only way to clear the read-only file sytem error.
I have pretty much isolated the cause to ReadyDR -the unit ran normally for 2 months recently and within 10 days of activating ReadyDR jobs I have the dreaded read-only filesytem error. I have run memory tests and extended disk tests on all disks.
Interestingly once the error appears I can delete the ReadyDR jobs, but not the ReadyDR shares - I get a "failed due to snapshot deletion failure "error
I am running OS 6 Ready DR on a legacy unit which may be why I haven't had much interest from Netgear, perhaps now that there are others with similar issues on newer machines we may get an answer.
I have logs if anyone interested.
Another factory default coming up and I'm abandoning ReadyDR.
It would be good if you could send in logs.
Support has got a case that they suspect might be related (though something that appears to be related at first glance may prove to be quite different).
Logs sent.
I sent in logs in April when this happened before.
