ReadyNAS 102 upgrade to 6.4.0
Yesterday I foolishly updated my firmware from 6.2.5 to 6.4.0 on my 102 unit. Since then all backups have failed. I have a weekly backup carried out on a Saturday night, failed. I have a ...
6.4.1 beta has a fix for the USB drive issue. https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Beta-Release/ReadyNASOS-6-4-1-T29-Beta-2/m-p/999457#M6967
Hi
My sincere thanks for the information.
Somewhat concerned about the beta firmware as it was a previous beta firmware given to me to correct an earlier problem that ended up causing me even more major issues that required a factory reset and a reinstall of data, fortunately it had been backed up.
If it's a recognised issue then I think I'll wait for the normal firmware update.
I can't help but say that all these issues are ok for people with some IT skills but for many people who simply want a reliable device to protect their data this is totally unacceptable.
I shall be looking for another platform in the near future.
Thank you again.

I don't think anyone is finding these issues acceptable (including Netgear). I'd still give 6.4.1 beta a try (I am running it on two NAS now). I am finding it better than 6.4.0, and I haven't seen anyone posting here saying it is worse.
Hmmm, yes I take your point but why do these problems occur again and again. All I can say is that I'm glad Netgear aren't writing software for aircraft...
I'll watch how things go and if there's no firmware update then I may try the beta.
It's a shame I can't reinstall 6.2.5 as at least it worked. However from the release notes for 6.4.0 it says this is not possible.
My thanks.

Any Netgear firmware version ending on 0 shouldn't be installed. Haven't yoou had any issues with freezing?
No freezing but lets not talk it up.
Once I get a stable firmware then I won't update again. I've had enough of this.
