ReadyNas 6.2 (NAS locks up entirely)

(speaking as mod) Even if it turns out there is a common root cause, generally we find it works best to have each user create their own thread. If you are trying to help, it makes it much easier to track what each user has already tried, what their particular set up is, and what their outcomes are (and have been). If multiple folks with problems post to the same thread, it always gets very tangled.

Of course a tread WILL evolve to be a very tangled one when a critical problem like this persists month after month (approaching half a year now) without any final solution that fix the problem which the thread initially is about.

Also keep in mind that to most ordinary users all 'technical chit-chat' about various internal/lowlevel issues causing this problem, may very well be put in the account labeled "nerdy geektalk around the same problem". Because the PROBLEM the users are experiencing in the end, is the same for all; They had a perfectly reliable NAS that begun crashing randomly after upgrade to 6.2.x. Now many have been stuck with a totally useless NAS for months while Netgear STILL is 'doing ALL they possibly can do' to figure out what internals of their own ReadyNasOS that is killing many RN10x-systems. It's a shame all these months without a fix...
