Not sure if chirpa will read any of this vis-a-vis maintaining the RAIDiator 4.x and RNSOS 6.x stuff here... though just throwing it out there to ease my own transition from 4.x to 6.x. I want to do:
1) Image the current RAIDiator 4.x HDDs in order.
2) Plug imaged HDDs into a desktop PC, running VirtualBox on a Linux host.
3) Get RAIDiator running in VirtualBox accessing the existing said HDDs via raw harddisk access.
4) Confirm it working
5) Transfer data on Virtual NAS to real NAS (having blitzed it and running RNSOS6)
Any reason why the above won't work and/or is there a step (or 6!) I'm missing?
