ReadyNAS 314 - Firmware update from version 6.1.6 to 6.6.1 Issues
Will there be an issue when we update the firmware of the ReadyNAS from version 6.1.6 to 6.6.1? We have encountered an issue with another Netgear ReadyNAS losing the volume when we update to the latest firmware. We had logged a case with Netgear support to recover the data for that issue. We are planning to update the firmware on the NAS to see if it will fix the folder permission issue we are having. Currently we have a shared folder (UserProfile) that we cannot see the contents inside via the webui. We are able to see the contents inside if we access the shared folder via SMB on a Windows 7 PC. Please advise if anyone experience any issues updating a very old firmware on the NAS to the latest.

setting up custom shared folders for windows users
I have had my readynas with OS 6.X for some time. i was lazy and getting head aches trying to figure it out. but i decided its time i actually use it to its potential. i have stuided the user manual, but still get angry at its lake of detial (at leat for someone like me who has never set up a NAS before). i was hoping someone could give me a "for dummies" explanation/guide. but really any help is much appreciated. what i want to do: have a Video shared folder with different levels of privlegas for folders within. (i do not mind moving folders outside of "video" folder and into root folder, i just like it organized like below. (but if i need to make a "Videos Public" and "Videos Private", i can do that if needed). Videos (folder): - gopro raw (folder) - I am only one who can see/edit/access folder and videos (raw gopro footage) - gopro final (folder) - contains edited gopro videos i want to share with every computer - anyone on network can read (only i can edit/add/delete) - workouts (folder) contains my p90x / T25 - anyone on network can read (to access from computer connected to TV or from laptops. (only i can edit/add/delete) now, where i am really confused is how to set it up for access, both as far as user accounts on nas and for mapping to windows 7. somehow a while back i was able to map the "GoPro final" folder to my main windows 7 computer. i can drag and drop folders to/from it with ease. but when i try to drag/drop to the "GoPro" folder it says i do not have the right. i can open the gopro folder with file explorer and read files though. when i try to map the "gopro" folder it asks for a username and password. i have tried "admin" with the readynas password. i have tried Carlos (account on readynas) with its password. but none work. for accounts on the NAS, i have: Admn, Carlos , test. i am not sure how those connect to windows users? so basically, how do i create a share folder? specifically, how do i map it in windows 7? how do i create a share that only i can access/see? how to i create a share anyone can read from? BROWNIE POINTS: can i map a drive to a computer at another geo location. for instance i want to map my "Gopro Final" folder to windows 7 computer (read only) at my girlfiends house (different city).
