ReadyNas 104 6.2.5 -> 6.4.0 Checksum error
I am trying to update my ReadyNas 104 from 6.2.5 to 6.4.0 both through the pop-up windows and also through using the manual update method. The download completetes ok, but during the reboot I can see...
Hi Everyone,
So the issue with the Checksum error is from the BusyBox Md5sum utility. It has a bug that we are still not sure how it is occurring, we are working hard to reproduce it. We are trying to figure out why this bug is affecting some boxes and not affecting others. So there is still a lot of work to be done.
For this issue, you have some options for resolution,
1. You can retry USB boot and see if this fixes the problem, preliminary reports show that this does not fix the issue
2. I have a Debian package that you can install on your ReadyNAS OS6 ARM machine to update the device to 6.4.0 upon reboot.
(ReadyNAS OS 6: RN100/RN2120 cannot update due to invalid checksum)
3. Create a ticket with support and have Netgear L3 group manually upgrade your device.
The Debian package will work so likely there will be no need for item three,
Thanks again for your patience and help diagnosing this issue.

Do you have ssh enabled?
Yes SSH is enabled
You might want to check the OS partition fullness.
df . -h
df . -i
Also when manually installing, you do need to unzip before you upload.
df . -h gives me:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 4.0G 2.1G 1.8G 55% /
df . -i gives me:
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/md0 65536 15538 49998 24% /
To me it looks like plenty of free space and yes I upload the .img file and not the .zip file.
