Beyond me on how it's possible to operate a more than four years (!) old ReadyNAS OS 6 build, and not update once installed to something more current subsequently - before diving into an adventure of replacing all HDDs, starting from scratch, with a less common storage layout....

For the standard NAS operations, ssh and root access is simply not required. This is why Netgear excluded the support for abusing the NAS and the support provided due to incorrect handling.

 

Linux, end even less an embedded OS, barely compare to the simplicity of Mess-DOS.
