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.

(I'm not suggesting that you do another reset; this just confirms that my performance drop-off had a different cause from yours).

Thanks Stephen,
That's interesting. I've not done the full wipe/reset/restore yet. Still planning it. I'm going to go through some disk maintenence first (defreag, scrub, balance etc.) just to make sure that everything is as good as it can be. If speed doesn't improve then I'll do the full wipe/reset/restore.

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:
