RN104 crashed and stuck at "booting" or "Updating"[FW 6.2.2]
ReadyNAS RN104 – 5 months old, so now out of 90 day warranty 2x 3TB Seagate ST3000VN000 in XRAID2 mode. Though the 90 day phone/chat support has expired, there is an email support ticket (# 24562661...

yeah, I have all my important data saved off somewhere else (after the thing bricked the first time I decided it was not reliable but it is all the hardware I currently have at my disposal so you get to go to war with the army you have not the army you want (FLASH NAS OHOHOHOH)
I think we are going to end up hooking up 3 of the 4 disks to USB to SATA devices and use a program we have to extract the data but it will take a LONG time
Even just reformatting the 4x2TB with RAID10 after a factory reinstall is a 12 hour process. NETGEAR really dropped the ball on this one.
So my entire development cluster is basically down until I can get this resolved.
I am seeing this issue all over the forums for all different models with 6.2.2.
There is clearly a bug in the firmware that needs addressing. Do they have a timetable for any fix?
How have they not rolled us back to a stable FW?
They are just completely happy to keep bricking devices and destroying data with their bugged out 6.2.2 ReadyOS?
I am going to give them a call after lunch and see what they can do for me but I am not very hopeful.
