ReadyNas 6.2 (NAS locks up entirely)
EDIT BY MODERATOR: Please see the post at the end of the thread: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=456217#p456217
I guess i am not the only one this is happening to!
everything worked fine for 6.1.9 (except for my root at 99% problem last month)
once I updated, I transferred aprox 2 gigs of information it locks up every time
all apps are working fine.
as a business owner i have come to the conclusion (with the amount of problems i have been having) ReadyNas is not meant for a reliable means of backing up seems majority of the fixes are "back everything up and factory reset!" I think that answer is as good as telling someone with computer problems to hit there computer a few times and see if it works.
now i have gone to support many times yes they are quite helpful but only within 90 days of purchase of the unit! then they insist that i pay for a extension of that support.... i have 3 IBM servers and when there hardware fails (one little problem with a driver one year later) they back up the reseller in making sure my system is back up and running within 48 hours (no they are not leased or have a protection plan)
If it wasent for the guys in the forums i would have beaten the system with a bat (please see Office space the movie)... sorry for the rant just truly frustrated with the system :evil:

- i got mine to the T1721 and it locks after minutes from booting. Frustrating.
- Installed 6.2.3-T1721 on Feb 23rd at 11:35 in my RN104 and almost 48 hours later, still no lockups!!! :D :D :D
This is the longest run without any lockups since 6.1.x and I hope to give you all an update, a week from now. Fingers crossed!
***EDIT***
DAMN IT!!! Feb 25 2015 15:25 my RN104 locked up. :( 6.2.3-T1721 ain't the final fix and only a step in the right direction.

. - For those still having issues please update to 6.2.3 Beta 7: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=78866
- Mine been up for 4 days now on T1721 :) not sure whether to goto Beta 7 now, maybe wait to see if it crashes first
That's what I'd do.redhotchilli wrote: Mine been up for 4 days now on T1721 :) not sure whether to goto Beta 7 now, maybe wait to see if it crashes first - @Sparhawk, you've got a pm!
- ReadyNAS 6.2.3-T1730 installed on Feb 26rd at 08:50 in my RN104 and it locked up just 3 minutes later.
It locked up again 44 minutes after install.
Logs sent.
Thanks for everything.
. - I've been solid on beta 3 (no lockups since February 3rd). Is there any compelling reason to update to a newer beta or should I just wait it out until a stable release is available?
- If it's running fine and you don't urgently need any of the other fixes I don't see an urgent need to update to a newer beta.
- How are things on the systems you are currently monitoring?
The reason i ask is cause my rn104 locks up like once a week nowadays and has been like that since beta 3 or so... no difference noticed since then... if i like upload with 1 ftp client everything goes fine... if i copy from nas to local pc like 1 action at a time.. like 1 dir... it goes ok. But if i try something, which worked like a charm on 6.1.9, like unpack 2 rar archives at a time it pretty much locks up at once giving the winrar applications a full lockup and i have to restart pc and nas to get everything backup and running. With 6.1.9 i could unpack as many rar archives at once as i pleased without any lockups.
