OK, I found it. I’ll need to install something that reads Microsoft Word doc files in order to read the release notes.

Odd format for a multi-platform release.

Hi Derek

Hmm. Let’s look at 4.01c1-p2. Let me run over to the ReadyNas downloads page, conveniently called http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=102. Nope, not yet available. Latest is 4.01c1-p1.

And, yes, I did stay with the old firmware. I read the release notes; I wasn’t foolish on that particular day.

Sorry, nice counter. It just wrong.

“Now broken with with Opera, Safari, Vista, Web/DAV, wireless, Mac AFP, and installing new drives when the machine is off.”

Or try 4.01c1-p2 and up which don’t have these issues?

“Oddly, the upgrade does not state as to if it destroys the data on your drives. It shouldn’t, but don’t assume.”

It doesn’t, and no one forced you to upgrade in the first place, you could have easily stayed with old firmware if that made you marginally less angry.

I use a software for displaying content on projector. A very advanced type of power point let’s say. Every upgrade has been it’s downgrade for us. Very tiring. I tend to let others go first and see what happens to them
However, I can not complain. I do software programming and it is so complex. I often have things tested on different PC builds, different software (like OS or browser depending on what software is) and yet there are still problems after working out all the issues with the testing.
