Download Firmware Netgear ReadyNAS 6.4.0

Netgear has released ReadyNAS version 6.4.0. This software runs on Netgear’s various NAS devices, such as the ARM processor equipped RN102, RN104, RN202, RN204, RN212, RN214 and RN2120, and the x86 processor equipped RN312, RN314, RN316, RN516, RN716x, RN3130, RN3138, RN3220 and RN4220. Below are the changes and improvements Netgear has made with this release:

New Features:

• Added contextual help documentation in local admin GUI.
• Share quota support. You can now set a size limit on a share.
  Note that the size limit will be enforced but not displayed from connected clients.
• Added ReadyCLOUD shareable web links that can be copied and pasted.
• Added the ability to share a folder through ReadyCLOUD using a web link, without the need for the invited person to create an account.
• Added global snapshot space consumption metrics in the local admin GUI Shares page.
• Added additional ReadyCLOUD regional servers to enhance robustness in cloud access.

Enhancements & Bug Fixes:

• Updated the Linux Kernel which includes BTRFS, iSCSI and NFS enhancements.
• ReadyNAS 102, 104, and 2120 now support volumes greater than 16TB.
• Minor bug fixes and performance enhancements.

Deployment Notes / Limitations:

• Wake on LAN (WOL) will not be supported on the ReadyNAS 4220 at this time using the 10GbE port. Use the 1GbE port for WOL.
• There is no error message presented in the local admin GUI when the USB key is missing from the system for encrypted volumes. The LCD display will present a message that the USB key is missing.
• If the USB key is missing for encrypted volumes, the power LED will blink for 10 minutes. If no USB key is plugged in within 10 minutes, the encrypted volume won’t be mounted and will be inactive.
• If a Flex-RAID volume has been expanded, the volume cannot be switched back to X-RAID mode..
• If you wish to remove a USB storage device, you should first eject the drive in the local admin GUI before removing the USB device from the ReadyNAS to prevent errors on the file system of the USB device.
• ReadyNAS 102, 104, and 2120 only support creating iSCSI LUNs 8TB and smaller.
• ReadyNAS devices updated to ReadyNAS 6.4.0 or later cannot be downgraded to earlier version.
• When initially upgrading your ReadyNAS to 6.4.0, a quota scan takes place during boot. This may cause the unit to take some time to do a scan, depending on your volume usage. Allow some time when restarting your ReadyNAS for the first time after upgrading.
