Poll ! Who has reverted to V3 firmware and why?

I have not yet but might try it.  I can’t get safepoint to work with v4.

How do I roll back?

Edit:

I have rolled back to version 030401-230 using these instructions:

Safepoint now seems to be working on manual and auto which it would rarely do in V4.  The dashboard also responds much quicker than it did with V4.  I don’t know about the read/write speeds as I have never prformed any tests. I can say the safepoint of 800GB to an attached MyBook took just as long with V3 (20 hrs) as it did with V4.
