Re: Ready NAS 104 Crashes when changing Network settings putname+14, kfree+168

Seem to be having trouble changing my network settings, currently have 2 Nics teamed and set to use Transmit Load Balancing (Layer 2), initially I was trying to just change the MTU size, but when I do so the NAS seems to become unresponsive and displays error putname+14, power button does nothing and the only way to get it back is to pull the power.
Following this I decided to delete the bond entirely, same thing happened, in fact have tried changing various setting on it now and each seems to have the same effect albeit a different error ocasionally such as putname+14, kfree+168 and a couple of others I didnt note at the time.
None of the changes take effect after restarting. Current OS version was 6.9.4 (Hotfix 1), have since tried upgrading to latest beta to see if this resolved the issue, It did not.
Anyone seen this before or have a solution?

I am running the latest 6.10.2
Hopefully it's on the list of things to be fixed.
One thing you could try is doing an OS reinstall from the boot menu. That will
- reset the network to default settings (no bonding, MTU=1500, dhcp)
- change the admin password back to password
- disable volume quota (can be changed back on the volume settings wheel)
See pages 28-29 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
FWIW, the RN100 series performance is mostly limited by it's relatively slow processor and memory. There's not a lot of performance gain to be had with bonding. I'd just use it with one ethernet connection myself.

6.9.5 has been released for about a week now - so if you are running beta or release candidate you should update it.
If you are running the 6.10 beta, then stay with it - you aren't able to downgrade back to 6.9.x.

Perhaps also try removing one of the ethernet cables.
If you are on the 6.9.x branch, maybe also try 6.9.3 and see if that changes the behavior.

Re: Ready NAS 104 Crashes when changing Network settings putname+14, kfree+168
Oddly 6.9.5 didn't show up for me under stable release which is why I went for the Beta, unfortunately the 6.10 one so no way back.
Have already tried unplugging cables but seems to make no difference, found a similar issue on an old thread (Link bellow) around bonded nics but creating rather than removing or altering, seemed to be fixed for them in 6.9.3, wondering if the issue may of crept back in but gone unnoticed or be linked to any fix that may of been implemented for this.

It takes a while before they put a new release on the update server. You should have simply manually installed it.
Anyway, you are 6.10.x now. Hopefully @OOM-9 will see this and respond.

Have now updated to latest stable build 6.10.0, yet the issue still remains, any attemt to change the NIC settings to anything else results in it locking up and erroring.

Hi Dremscape,
Can you download the system logs then provide it to us? We will further what is causing the error.
You may upload it to Google Drive then send to me the download link via PM (private message).

Yes, a new top-of-the-line x86 desktop NAS will outperform an old entry level arm NAS.

Re: Ready NAS 104 Crashes when changing Network settings putname+14, kfree+168
Hi Dremscape,
What is the MTU size you are trying to set on the NAS?
It looks like the NIC is complaining about the size of the frame. Wants to send frame 1440 but MTU is only set to 1400.
[Mon May 20 17:09:28 2019] mvneta d0074000.ethernet eth1: bad rx status 0f850000 (max frame length error), size=1440

Re: Ready NAS 104 Crashes when changing Network settings putname+14, kfree+168
Hi John
Yes it is currently set at 1400 and was trying to set it back to 1500, but dont think it really makes a difference what I try to set it to it still just crashes as soon as I make a change, just tried setting it to 1440 out of curiosity, it crashed and displayed KFree+168, the only way forward from there is to pull the plug to reset it as power buttons do nothing once it crashes,also any changes made revert back after the restart.
I have also tried deleting the bond to start over this has the same result, just seems I cannot make any changes to it at all.
Regards Darren

Re: Ready NAS 104 Crashes when changing Network settings putname+14, kfree+168
Hi Dremscape,
Have you tried updating the NAS firmware to 6.10.1? If yes, are you still getting the same issue?
If you are still getting the same issue on 6.10.1, it will be best if you contact NETGEAR support so they can further investigate this issue.

Re: Ready NAS 104 Crashes when changing Network settings putname+14, kfree+168
Hi John
Yes just tried upgrading to 6.10.1, exact same issue remains, any single change to the network settings no mater what I change including deleteing it entirely, results in a crash and settings revert back after a hard restart.
Tried support but it is out of complimentary support and the only options im given are ask the community or search our knowledge base both of which ive exhausted, guess ill just have to live with it untill I can find a spare 12TB somewhere to back it up too so I can do a complete factory reset, may be awhile!

Re: Ready NAS 104 Crashes when changing Network settings putname+14, kfree+168
I'm having the same issue...
any movement on a resolution?
Have a bonded setup with adaptive Load balance but got new switch and want to give LAG a go but when I went to break bond, got the kfree+168 message on ReadyNas 104 (6.10.1 firmware version) lcd screen.
Is there another process to switch up the network settings without crapping out the NAS?
Thanks for any feedback...

Does the OS reinstall affect any volume, share, user or sharing protocol settings?

Re: Ready NAS 104 Crashes when changing Network settings putname+14, kfree+168
I just dont touch it any more. When your backup asks you to reinstall from a backup, im just waiting for it to die and then Im never buying this crap ever again. I mean they had to work really hard to build a device this bad at its one job, to transfer files, and then it only does 20mbps. Its an elephant balancing on a teacup

You should be getting 50-70 MB/sec with an RN100 series NAS over wired ethernet - so something sounds wrong with your system (or network).

Thanks Stephen, the OS re-install did the trick.
