ReadyNAS Management services offline (6.5.2)
Hello I am experiencing very similar problems to that described in the topic: "ReadyNAS Management services offline after 6.5.0 update". I was unable to try the fix as it seemed to be communicat...
Somehow the DLNA config file on your system had some binary characters appended to the end, which confused the config parser. I've fixed it up manually on your system, and this situation will also be handled gracefully in future firmware releases after 6.6.0.
Sent you a PM for remote access.

Many thanks for the impressive support and for fixing my system so quickly.
While it's good that future firmware releases would help in this case, I do wonder how the configuration file got corrupted in the first place. It seemed to happen when my system became unstable and crashed. I had not given myself SSH access and hadn't installed any external apps.
It wasn't really "corrupted" in the usual sense. It just had NUL characters appended at the end, which is generally used as a string terminator. I really don't know how it got there though. Perhaps there's some case where storage gets preallocated to a size larger than the final size, and doesn't get updated. We'll have a look through the code to see if there's anything suspicious.
