Git addon?
Hi,
I had to rebuild my nas and I was looking for the git 1.7.x package but it is no longer available. The respository is too old to use against the current git hub. Help!
TIA

how do I get to RAID 6 with 2 redundant drives?
Switch out of X-RAID; add your new disk; then click on the new disk and you should see a "Add Parity" button.
After that you can re-click the X-RAID button.
The usual rule applies - you need the 4 largest disks to be the same size (after adding the new one).

What are the errors you are encountering? It sounds like you may not have apt-get update(d) yet. The 1.7.x is still in the repo from the default ReadyNAS installations.
The current release is using the following git version:git | 1:1.7.10.4-1+wheezy3 | http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ wheezy/main armel Packages
The 6.6.0 that is coming soon will be using a newer version of git:
git | 1:2.1.4-2.1+deb8u2 | http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
The Debian 8 is the most maintained debian release and will have the newer version of git.

Hmm. I did do apt-get update. What's the repo information? This is an older has so perhaps the firmware is a little out of date.
I don't recall this being an issue about 4-5 years ago when I last set this up.

This is what I have on a unit running 6.5.1:
oom-102:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos 6.5.1 updates apps main deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian wheezy main deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main deb http://egnyte-cdn.egnyte.com/storagesync/netgear6/en-us 6.5 egnyte
What firmware are you running?
(It sounds like you had the unit for a while.)
