URGENT, 4.1.13 software is also getting corrupted
After I reported that the 4.1.12 software is getting corrupted over time, I have now also experience 4.1.13 corruption.
The symptoms are very simple to detect:
The only solution to fix the problem is to reinstall the software. The only problem is that with one Readynas Duo this doesn't work either, the Readynas will return in the same status. The only way to shutdown this Duo is with the on/off button, it is not possible to reboot from Frontview.
Please tell us what to do, because one of these days the data be be gone as wel!!
The symptoms are very simple to detect:
- Raidar will not show the firmware version at the big blue i button
- The frontview page will also not show a normal software version like 4.1.13, only a hexa-decimal code between square brackets.

- In principle I agree with you, however there are operating systems that just demand a certain size of swap space in relation to the internal memory. My Windows laptop for instance has 32GB of memory, but I doubt if I ever used more than 12GB. Never the less Windows allocated 32GB swap space, and even recommends 48GB.........
You did not mention how much memory your DUO and NV+ have, my NV+ and DUO both have 1GB RAM. I don't know if Linux actually uses the size of the internal memory to calculate swap partitions for itself. - Linux isn't windows, and doesn't demand swap space.
My duo and NV+ are stock (256 MB).
I believe nothing here is automatic, the partition structure created at the time of install determines the swap space.
If the extra memory you added was to increase RAID performance, than it is simply disk caching (which is not swapped). If you added a lot of applications, you might have also increased the memory load of the system.
Again, you can see how much swap space you have, and how much is in use by simply running free (which requires ssh of course).
Though there are some posts from folks who discovered that their memory upgrades stopped working properly in some of the new releases (4.1.10 and later) - viewtopic.php?t=69648, viewtopic.php?t=66897 If you still have stock memory, maybe try reinstalling that? Though your symptoms appear to be different.
