if you have EnableRootSSH_1.0-x86 installed on your readynas you can login with putty via ssh. You can then execute any command as if you are in the terminal window on any other linux machine.

btw, you have 6x4tb installed in your readynas ultra6 without a spare/parity drive in case one crashes? Or is it max 5*4 tb so 18.x TB. still a lot of course :D

If you download the logs zip file, one of the logs for the memory shows this. You can see how much is being used for caching and how much swap is used. If you are using a lot for caching but not swap then a memory upgrade likely won't make a significant difference. However if you are using your swap a lot then a memory upgrade may make some difference. We don't support memory upgrades, but you can do them on our models which use Intel CPUs e.g. the Ultra 6. If you do do one on be sure to run at least a few passes of the memory test boot menu option.

I found the following in the mem_info.log:
MemTotal: 1012744 kB
MemFree: 30020 kB
Buffers: 275088 kB
Cached: 250672 kB
SwapCached: 34456 kB

I only have a few megs physical memory left and don't use much of my swap (~42MB). I guess I don't really need an upgrade but a minor update might be worth it. Got 2x2GB sitting 'dead' in an old PC atm so wouldn't cost me a thing untill I sell that pc.. So memtest would be the first thing to do this evening after pluggin in those dims.

so just installed 4GB ram I had lying. Must say, just the admin console was already much more responsive and snappy as before. I also just installed 6.1.9 and all seems working great. Fan speed is just fine and temps are showing (history too). CPU 25 (started from 21) and system 34 (started on 32). Did I read somewhere that these temps are off, or is this fixed in the prebuild 6.1.9?

It takes roughly 7,5 hours to rebuild my raid5 array of 4x3TB disks. After that it's time to copy my backuped data back to the nas.

Well, it's 5 times 6TB in both NASes. Raid5 so 24TB per NAS to copy but 'only' 22 TB is really used.
But I did try OS6 on my old Ultra 6 before and later reverted (factory defaulted) so I copied 66TB in total, at least... I'm tired... :)
