ReadyNAS OS 6.9.3 | Run on existing x86 (4.2) #notsupported
There are a few threads on this, showing how to convert 6.0 firmware to run on the 4.2 platform. I am combining the information here, so it is easier to digest. This is UNSUPPORTED by NETGEAR. Do...
Got it. Many thanks.
Couple of questions:
1) The binary I have is ReadyNASOS-6.1.5-x86_64.bin. Is it OK to use that for the install or should I use an old one and upgrade to this package (after the PREP and R4toR6 addons)
2)I will of course be doing a backup first, but are there any specific directories I should backup apart from /c. I have a couple of init.d scripts I will also backup but what about stuff in /etc. For example /etc/apt/* and so on. I am certain my data will be backed up OK but worried about other configurations I have for things like php5, serviio (which I installed/configured myslf way before there was an addon available), and so on.
3) Has the fan issue been fixed in 6.1.5 or does a hack via SSH still need doing.
I am excited about upgrading to OS6 but my Pro6 has been up now for just over a year without a single problem so I am a tad worried about taking the plunge and messing with it. But I need ownCloud and some other things that are supported on Debian4 builds.
Anyway. Thanks for the great work you guys have done.
