ReadyNas 104 become nearly unresponsive after upgrade to 6.8.0

I've update my RN104 to firmware 6.8.0 yesterday ... after reboot I noticed the admin page was slooooooooooooow ... every click get the NAS to be unresponsive and the admin page to return to the "loading" screen. Sometimes reconnect ... Sometimes time-out.

In the Admin page (when can reach it) I can see that only one of the two external USB drives is mounted. Tried to disconnect reconnect many times the 2 disks ... no success.

None of the shares is accessible from the LAN ... neither from the internal disks nor from the external USB drives ... 

The NAS is visible from the lan, the shares are visible but accessing them goes to an eternal unresponsive cycle.

FWbroker is accessible (with huge patience)

      I did ... second ... third ... and many others.

      I thought to be saved when applied the 6.8.1 but after few hours slownesses came back. Then I had an idea : deactivat the RealTime-Antivirus and ... MAGiC ! it works perfectly fine now :)

      Unfortunately ... I had to make a choice between security and accessibility. :(

        The RN100 family only has 512 MB of ram - which was more than adequate when it was introduced, but which isn't enough to run all the OS6 services now.
