Unable to update plex server
I have an Ultra 2 Plus running with ReadyNAS OS 6. I recently turned it on after not doing so for several months. Everything came up normally, including the 2 apps I have installed. I then u...

How is the 6.10.8 repo broken
Almost all the files/folders are either missing or have wrong permissions set so they cannot be accessed. So it is incomplete. A normal 6.10.x repo has about 1000 files. The 6.10.8 only has 34 accessible files.

why would Netgear push an update to a "broken" repo but not a newer one (6.10.9) that would fix at least some the issue(s)?
No idea why Netgear hasn't fixed their 6.10.8 repo, or when/if they will push the 6.10.0 release from their update servers.

I read through that 2nd thread. Any idea of how much available disk space is required to do a manual firmware/debian update like that described in the posts there?
I'm guessing you mean apt-mirror??? Assuming yes, the full repository (armel, armhf, and amd64) takes about 300GB. That includes all the libraries in the thread (plus Netgear repositories for 6.10.0 through 6.10.9).

I believe my NAS is running on an Intel Atom processor so I would presumably get the https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-300/ReadyNASOS-6.10.9-x86_64.zip update.
Correct.
It seems like more of a hassle to upgrade to 6.10.9 right now than it is to rollback to my previous firmware version of 6.10.7. Is a downgrade as simple as Manual Firmware Install of the previous firmware (https://kb.netgear.com/000064653/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-10-7)from the Settings page of the Admin UI?
Has Netgear responded to any inquiries about their future ReadyNAS plans?

Yes, it is the identical process (so the same amount of work).

No.
Indications are that they have been quiet-quitting the ReadyNAS market for some time. In no particular order:
- The most recent platform was introduced back in 2017.
- No sales inventory at most storefronts for some years now.
- No new features added for several years (just bug fixes and security updates).
- Increasing difficulty when trying to access support
- ReadyNAS dropped from the main Netgear webpage
- Discontinuing ReadyCloud.
But they haven't said anything (and have ignored questions on the subject here).
