NAS542 extremely slow write speed, CPU 100 %

Do you think this masked bug could be what's causing the higher load average, or those would be just network pings/calls (indicated by the spikes in PID number)? Would a firmware reinstall (from here I guess? ftp://ftp.zyxel.com/NAS542/firmware) help?

Unlikely. It's hard to presume a link between leaking a semaphore and starting an excessive number of processes. Further my NAS520 doesn't have that problem, and that also has that script.

or those would be just network pings/calls

Maybe. But then I would expect a blinking led. I'm not sure if a ping will burn a pid. It's handled by the kernel, and I don't know if it will start a (kernel) process for that.

Would a firmware reinstall help?

I doubt. But it won't hurt.

Okay, thank you for your help and time.
