All shares disappeared after updating to Firmware version 6.6.1
When we came into work today, our Netgear is not accessible on the network. All of our non Homes shares have dissappeared and the drive is not accessible via our network. I am able to access the ad...
Netgear support was able to rebuild and fix the issue with the drive. Shortly after they got it back up and running, I started to receive Alert Messages from the drive that media capacity was nearly full. This was a weird message as we only use about 200GB of out 2TB worth of stroage.
Example Message of what we received:
"Less than 20% of volume media's capacity is free. Performance on volume media will degrade if additional capacity is consumed. NETGEAR recommends that you add capacity to avoid performance degradation."
After doing some research, I came across the following thread which explains that the antivirus program that is included on the ReadyNAS was causing the issue. I have since turned off the antivirus program (not really a good option in my option) until the new version of the firmware comes out, which is supposed to fix the issue.

Thanks for everyones feedback and suggestion on getting this problem fixed.
The main config file for the SMB service is missing some values and the SMB share configuration has been lost. Support would be able to fix this presumably with the default configuration.
This can sometimes happen e.g. when the 4GB root volume is temporarily filled.
