My ReadyNas 104 has gone from being rock solid (never crashed) on 6.1.x to crashing multiple times a day after going to 6.2.x.
I have no apps installed and just use it share files on my network - I have 2 x 3Tb Seagate and 1 x 3TB WD Green drives in JBOD mode. (don't blame the drives as the problem is related to the firmware)
It is much more unstable on 6.2.2 crashing every few hours whereas it can go overnight on the 6.2.0 firmware, the 6.2.3 Beta was also very unstable. I've disabled all the snapshots (although one drive keeps saying that snapshots are still present), disabled DNLA and no spin down
Netgear need to give us the ability to rollback to 6.1.9 or come up with a fixed firmware - I don't particularly care about the reduced security, updates etc I just want my NAS to work normally again.
