AntiVirus No Longer Updating
Since 30th September, I have been getting an email from my RN214 advising me that the "Antivirus scanner definition file update failed due to download failure. Check your Internet connection." I know that the internet connection is OK because Transmission BitTorrent client is working OK. SSHing in and trying "freshclam" does not work either: I get "WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED! WARNING: Local version: 0.103.7 Recommended version: 1.0.9" On the ClamAV website it says for v0.103 LTS, "DB downloads allowed until Sep-14 2025", so that is the likely cause: https://docs.clamav.net/faq/faq-eol.html Does anyone has a solution for this please? Either a way to update ClamAV on an ARM device or to fool ClamAV into still providing database updates? My RN214 is running ReadyNAS OS v6.10.9 - will "upgrading" to 6.10.10 help to resolve this? From the latter's release notes I suspect not. TIA PaulRND4000v2 (ReadyNAS NV+ v2) RND-48 won't turn on after power cut
Hello, My RND4000v2 (ReadyNAS NV+ v2) RND-48 seems dead after a power cut. The LED display and power button lights up for around 1 second when I connect the power cable but then nothing more. The power block shows a green light. I've tried the reset button at the back (30 seconds with power connected) and also tried to remove all 4 drives but always the same result. Please can anyone suggest what to try next? Could I buy a new (or find the same model second hand) NAS unit to access the array? Any advice much appreciated! Thanks, JeremyNETGEAR Mobile Broadband Driver
Hello, I’m currently using the MR1100 (Nighthawk M1) mobile router and need to reinstall the “NETGEAR Mobile Broadband Driver (V8.2.1.0)” for Windows. However, the official link (https://downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/MR1100/NETGEAR_MBB_Driver_V8.2.1.0.exe) returns an “AccessDenied” XML message. Could someone (Netgear Support or community users) please provide a verified copy or alternative official mirror for this driver? Thank you!ReadyNAS104 no data after hotswap
Hi, I had the Volume: Volume data health changed from Degraded to Dead. I hotswapped the Volume 1 today, with an 8TB drive and now the other 3 drives are showing red, and the new drive is black. (other drives are v2 - 2TB and V3&4 - 4TB) [v1 was 4 TB] It is like all the drives are now showing as new, I cannot see any data. and now the warning is Remove inactive volumes #2,3,4. I really hope this doesn't mean all the data is lost. If anyone can help it would be appreciated. Regards Craig
Which backup method?
So there are two primary backup methods provided in frontview, for purpose of backing up my volume data. There is the so called "File Backup" and there is ReadyDR. I'm assuming my machine (524x) supports ReadyDR, but I'm wanting to understand what exactly the differences and pros and cons of ReadyDR vs one of the various file Backup methods.. For now assume local backup, not network... For the FileBackup backup, what method is used to copy the files? cp? rsync? what is actually used to make the backup? Does it do anything incrementally? Any checksumming or other verification steps? Does it create a temporary snapshot before performing the backup? All user permissions are 100% preserved. ReadyDR seems interesting, for one thing it looks to me like it copies at a lower level, and pulls over all snapshots along with it. I'm not sure I need that but I understand the benefit. But as I understand it, the destination is not a usable clone, its the underlying snapshot data, but I read SandShark say that there is a fast operation to turn one of the snapshots into a usable clone. I don't know if that's true? I would definitely like my backup to be immediately usable without a neccessary restore step, but this may be ok with readyDR if there is a short operation to make a snapshot available in some way to the filesystem, as a neccessary step, that could be fine too. But I want to understand what are the pros and cons and gotchas related to readyDR or whether I should just keep it simple and do basic filebackup. I do intend to create daily snapshots on the backup destination. I realize already that these will not be coordinated with the source snapshots (if and when they exist), but will be good enough for me to simply have timemachine style snapshots on the destination which i can do if the destination is BRTFS JBOD drive in bay#4. So I'm kinda leaning towards just using filebackup method rather then readyDR, but I want to make sure I'm not missing any other advantage that would make it worth consideration. Also for file backup, is there any reason to use network backup to local host to force some particular protocol or better to just do local with whatever copy method is being used?Readynas as VM and build-essential
Ok here is a question. Does anyone know if there are any pre-made VM containers with ReadynasOS6 on them, and with build-essentially already installed into them also? Since apt can no longer get access to Netgear's repos...maybe someone had created a VM with that stuff installed and its still lurking out there somewhere? Alternative question, if ReadynasOS is open source is it availble somewhere such that I could create some kind of VM with some form of linux and build the build-essential package from scratch that way and install it into a readynasVM in order to have a place to build certain things to run on my actual readynas. For example, to build newer version of Python3. I have seen some free made readnas VM images floating around and I haven't tried it yet, but wondering if any of them had build-essential also installed into them. Its doubtful unless the VM image was created along time ago before netgear disabled their apt repos.RN104 file transfer speeds
Hello, I've always had my rn104 connected to a gigbit ethernet switch and I get 10 - 12MB/s file transfer speeds to my windows 11 pc. I set static IP addresses on my nas and pc, ran a short(6ft) cable directly between the 2 and I'm only getting 15 - 16MB/s. I expected much more. Any Ideas as to why so slow? The RN104 has old 5400 rpm desktop 4TB hard drives. Could they slow transfers down that much? Thanks for any assistance rendered, Tom
