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.

You can do a factory reset from the web ui, or from the boot menu. The web ui is more convenient.
The overall process is to
(a) uninstall apps
(b) save the config file
(c) back up data
(d) reset
(e) set up NAS again (just basic stuff)
(f) restore the config file
(g) restore the data
(h) reinstall apps.
In your case, perhaps stop after (e) and benchmark the performance.
I found a couple of glitches in the config file restore
-volume maintenance schedule was not restored
-backup jobs failed to run on schedule
For the second one, you can simply disable/re-enable the schedule for each job (if you run into it). I think the volume maintenance needs to be re-entered.
On downgrading: ifixidevices posted a procedure to downgrade that worked for him (and some others). You need to install an old 6.4 beta as part of the process. The link is here:
Netgear doesn't recommend this.
Thank you StephenB, I'm going to give it a go some time when I've got a few days spare to tend to it.
will report back
Any update?
Hi.
I've not had time to do a wipe/restore.
Did find something strange today though. The write performance problem is only from Windows 7 machines.
I'm getting 6-8MB/s write, 36-40 read from my W7 machines. But I tried a Windows 10 machine there and I'm getting 40 both ways consistently.
odd... 6.2.5 worked fine. 6.4.2 slow from w7 machine.
Split discussion off into a new thread as it was being dragged away from the initial topic.
For the original problem would advise backing up the data, doing a factory reset, configuring appropriate for use case and restoring from backup.If not all the data can be backed up in volume read-only mode then we could have a remote look to see if disabling quotas allows the system to boot read/write to backup the reset.
