Readynas 102 extremely slow after update to 6.4.1
I have a Readynas 102 system with 2 2TB discs. there is about 230 GB of data on the discs. Yesterday I updated to 6.4.1, as suggested in the administration page. After that the system is extremely sl...
What firmware are you running?
Is the antivirus service enabled.
I followed the procedure in here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Beta-Release/Downgrading-from-6-4-0-to-6-2-4-with-a-Pro-Pioneer/m-p/1006812#M7142
Can you give 6.5.0 Beta a try? We have made some changes in Beta 1. Furthermore, if you are using the anti-virus service Beta 1 has some improvements with further ones to come in Beta 2.
With respect, if this beta software (which is beta for one very good reason) causes me problems is someone from Netgear going to call around and fix my NAS straight away or will this be yet another 5 month wait?
As I keep repeating I have AV turned off............
Often developers will directly diagnose/resolve beta issues (instead of support channels). And in this case downgrading to 6.4.x is simple (no reset required).
As you know, I didn't see any lockups with USB backup (though testing was limited), and performance was 7-8 MB/s for NTFS using the front USB-2 port.

If you install beta firmware unless support suggests it in a support case then you would come to the community here for help if you run into issues on it.
JoopB was using anti-virus and the anti-virus issue was the problem for him. By continuing to post about a different issue in this thread you've made your problem harder to follow. It is best if different issues are discussed in separate threads.

I won't be trying anything I'm afraid. 6.2.5 worked perfectly. I see no reason to change. If Netgear would like to use me as a 'real-life' beta tester then all they need to do is send me 4x 4tb drives to put in my spare RN104 machine. I'll quite happily load it up with a copy of my 'real-life' data, sychronise changes daily and run the snapshots etc. I can compare performance against 6.2.5.
