Readynas 104 won't boot. Error 354 out_of_memory. After upgrade to 6.4.1 #26323717
installed 6.4.1 from 6.2.5 yesterday. All went ok. Did all the 'calculating'. worked fine.
failed overnight with out_of_memory error 354. now won't boot.
tried reinstallOS. No luck.

8tb. 5tb used.
four disk x-raid
4tb (recently used to replace broken 3tb drive - will eventually upgrade all drives to 4tb)

ok. update:
defrag, balance and scrub all done. unit restarted.
still seeing awful write speeds < 9MB/s, read at 25-27
I don't know what else to do. This is unusable as for as I'm concerned and it's slower than my old NV+
If someone can tell me that there is a good chance it will be better if I wipe/reset/restore then I'll do it. Otherwise if not then I'll be buying a new machine (not netgear).
Regretting upgrading the software. Life was perfect on 6.2.5. Write speeds 40MBs, no stability issues.
I've spent so much time on this device since the upgrade that I can no longer justify the time.
However, like I said above, if something really thinks it will be better with a complete wipe/reset/restore then it's the one last thing I'll do.

You can go back to 6.2.x, so if the reset doesn't cure it, you could try that. It'd be a last resort, but it sounds like you are getting to that point.
Thanks StephenB,
yes, I think I'm reaching the point of wipe/restore. I suppose I might as well. At this stage nothing too loose.
If do a wipe/restore how to I go back to 6.2.5? I've never done factory reset so not sure at what point it looks for firmware etc.

You can do a factory reset from the web ui, or from the boot menu. The web ui is more convenient.
The overall process is to
(a) uninstall apps
(b) save the config file
(c) back up data
(d) reset
(e) set up NAS again (just basic stuff)
(f) restore the config file
(g) restore the data
(h) reinstall apps.
In your case, perhaps stop after (e) and benchmark the performance.
I found a couple of glitches in the config file restore
-volume maintenance schedule was not restored
-backup jobs failed to run on schedule
For the second one, you can simply disable/re-enable the schedule for each job (if you run into it). I think the volume maintenance needs to be re-entered.
On downgrading: ifixidevices posted a procedure to downgrade that worked for him (and some others). You need to install an old 6.4 beta as part of the process. The link is here:
