RN104 freezes now will not boot (oh, and "hi", BTW)

So I'm new to this community and my first post would seem to be only an echo of many before me. My 10 month old RN104 started freezing a couple of weeks ago. Frustrating at first, but the freque...

Booting

Can you try 6.4.2 Beta?: https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Beta-Release/ReadyNASOS-6-4-2-T59-Beta-1/m-p/999457#U999457

Periods between freezing reducing, now down to about 12 hours. Again, pretty much as before.

Thank you for the link. The file "ReadyNASOS-6.4.2-T59-arm.img" has been installed. I'll put it through it's paces and see what happens.

Regards,
Jeff.

So far, so good.

The data has resynchronised successfully, and a subsequent backup of my other RN104 succeeded (~840 GBytes).

I'll set things up as I had intended and see what happens. Thanks for the pointer to the Beta release.

Regards,
Jeff.
