Readynas 104 won't boot. Error 354 out_of_memory. After upgrade to 6.4.1 #26323717
installed 6.4.1 from 6.2.5 yesterday. All went ok. Did all the 'calculating'. worked fine.
failed overnight with out_of_memory error 354. now won't boot.
tried reinstallOS. No luck.

After successful factory reset, I am back online and working again. So far stable but definitely degradation in write speed from where I was prior to 6.4.1.
Here some points below:
- Noticed about 20-25 MB/s write speed with rsync via NFS mount. Previously I would see burst of 80-100 MB/s and settle in at 30-40 MB/s. NFS mount is using async and the share has bitrot protect (copy-on-write enabled) just like pre 6.4.1.
- Oddly enough, seeing VERY slow write speed 5-15 MB/s when rsync between USB3 drive mounted to NAS to RAID-5 volume (executed all within NAS). I didnt test this pre 6.4.1.
- Only running basic (smb,afp,nfs,ssh,http). No AV or other apps.
Other info:
- RAID-5, Volume resyncing in progress, looks like it's going to take days/week to complete.Maybe longer since I already started data restoration.
- Snapshots and quotas disabled (from UI). Snapshots were enabled in the previous config before this mess began.
- Majority of data is large video files.
Let me know if I can share anything else to help or run any tests..

It's interesting you're seeing the same speed degredation as me. Sounds like we have a similar setup. Was it a full reset/wipe/new etc? I was going to do that in the hope the speed issue would be fixed but I won't both if there's going to be no change.

If the resync is still in process, then the performance of course suffers, so I think you probably need to wait until the resync is done and then post back.
I did a factory reset on my RN102 a couple days ago (no apps installed at this point). It's jbod, not xraid - so there is no resync. I've been restoring the data with rsync backup from my Pro-6, and am seeing restore speeds of about 1 TB/day (which amounts to 12 MB/s). I don't recall what the rsync speed was before, so I don't know if that's a drop-off or not (rsync is computationally intensive).
It should be finished by Monday, then I'll run a CIFS benchmark.

I've not transfers or backups going on at all and seeing poor performance.Services on are: SMB, AFP, FTP, Rsync, HTTP, HTTPs, SSH.
No antivirus. No apps.
best write performance from a windows device has been just under 9Mb/s. Best write performance has been 28.previously at least 30 write, 40 read.

Correct, full reset/wipe was done. Will see if performance is better after resync finishes although I can see resync process is intelligent enough to pause to allow NFS activity so I doubt it. Speeds through NFS are also dropped down to 10-15 MB/s now..Are you considering downgrading perhaps?
Perhaps not the forum to vent but this was a bit of frustrating experience, and again a lesson why you shouldn't upgrade fw blindly, neither should support force it down your throat to support you if your product is mostly working.
I started with a NFS performance/stability issue and upgraded to 6.4.1 because my issue would not be escalated otherwise. This of course turned into 354 out of memory and all the headaches of a factory reset followed. Now I'm left with less than half the read/write speeds I had when I started and I'll spend the next couple of days restoring.
In hindsight, that initial issue was relatively minor and not worth all this.
But in the end, I do understand this is a consumer product, and I should not expect the same level of support or diligence as I'm used to in the enterprise world at work.

What else is a forum for? :smileylol:
But I guess its also a bit of a frustration for the Netgear support people ;).
Speaking of venting frustrations, the Rich Text editor on this board never seems to do what I want, esp related to quoted text :smileymad:
