ReadyNAS OS 6.4.2 => sometimes lost connection
Hallo,
i've installed new OS on my 314 and get faster directory-access. all others seems the same, excep transferrate (little bit lower). But yesterday 5x and today 2x i lost connection to NAS from my Mediacenter (Macmini) while watching a film (AFP). This is really annoying because i need to wait 3-5 min to reconnect to NAS. It looks disappeared from network (but is reachable at web). Same problem seems at a Win7-machine (SMB).
With previous versions i never had this problems except 6.4.1 There was the same problem but not so often.
Is it possible to go back to a previous version (e.g. 4.6.0)? Is there anywhere a instruction for this?
ReadyNAS 314, OS6.4.2, AV disabled
Thank you
You can drop back to 6.4.0 easily - just download the zip here:http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29938/~/readynas-os-version-6.4.0 Extract the image from the zip, and then use the manual install button on system->settings.
Its hard to go further back (and it would require a factory reset among other things).

Before you downgrade (if you wish to) can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

Your data volume is extremely full (94%) and you set this up back on 6.1.2.
I would suggest freeing up some space on this NAS (e.g. by deleting some older snapshots). Ideally volume usage should be kept to under 80%.I can see you have a lot of snapshots and a lot of metadata. What kind of data are you storing on this NAS?
