Firmware update to 6.6.1 and all encrypted shares lost
Hi all, I have just updated the firmware from 6.5.1 to 6.6.1 on my NAS and after reboot, all of the shares on the encrypted RAID 1 (drive1 and 2) have dissappeared. On the other drive (not encrypted drive 3) everything is fine. All the apps have dissappeared too (did not have many), but i can imagine they were on the main raid 1. In the logs i can see that even the snapshots have been removed, but i dont know why. Wish i had never bothered updating it. After several restarts i had a few issues whilst booting trying to read the encryption key at around 45% and kept giving memory errors (out of memory+354) but finally i have now got back into the NAS admin but both disks (1 and 2) are red (inactive volumes). I am pretty desperate to recover the data, can the NAS run some form of disk repair? What should i do? I am not very familiar with linux/ssh but I can follow instructions. Can anyone help me?

OpenVPN download speed extremely slow on Readynas duo 104
Hello, I've recently set up a OpenVPN tunnel from my ReadyNas Duo 104 with my VPN service provider (ivpn.net). Everything is working fine, but I am experiencing massive performance losses. I'm on a 100/10 Mbit connection and without VPN i can max out my bandwidth's download speed on my NAS. As soon as i connect to the VPN my download speed goes down to as low as 8Mbit/s. I have no problems what so ever using the vpn on other platforms (windows, ios), and the server responds within 20-30ms. I've been messing around with the MTU size, different ports and everything I could find out. Does anyone know what I can do? Is the hardware in the NAS simply too weak for encrypting my data to meet those speeds? Any tips are helpful. Thanks!

Encrypt backup to external USB drive in OS6.6.0
There are some older threads asking about encrypting an external USB backup, but no good solution and nothing current I can find. I backup to external USB drives x 2 formatted in EXT4, and rotate the backups offsite. I check the USB drive integrity using gparted in Ubuntu (having had a backup drive fail unexpectedly). Recently, I realized that the backup should be encrypted. I am surprised that OS 6.6 appears not to offer this feature. Am I missing something? Is there a solution someone has figured out? I do not wish to spend on encrypted cloud storage. Murray

HDD Encryption on OS 6.4.2
Is it just me, or did the ability to encrypt volumes during setup disappear in the firmware release? I have looked high and low in the setting to be able to find its location but I think the feature went away. Has anyone found it?

Backup of ReadyNAS that has Encrypted Volumes
Hello, I have encrypted my NAS using the encryption feature available in ReadyNAS OS 6. But now comes the issue of backing up the NAS and also protecting those backups. If I backup an encrypted NAS to an external hard drive or another NAS, is the backup encrypted as well? Or is an unencrypted version of the volume what gets backed up? If the backup is unencrypted, how do I go about having encrypted backups? I've had trouble unlocking an external hard drive that uses Microsoft BitLocker encryption. After I plug it into the ReadyNAS I don't seem to be able to add it as an iSCSI drive, and even if I actually map the hard drive the option to unlock the BitLocker encrypted drive never shows up.
