"OS6" - a question or three
First, a direct question: I'm currently running my Pro BE's with 5 or 6 disks using "x-raid2" and "dual redundancy." (RAID6 with the xraid2 expansion scheme.) I downloaded the manual for one of...
Still rebuilding. At 65% with an ETA of another 3 1/2 hours. (I guess I only got a couple hours of a nap.)
@mdgm: Yes, it's named "data" (same as original.) My suspicion is that installing the OS on top of itself would do the trick (but I'm not entirely sure how to do that non-destructively with OS6.) Is that something on the boot menu, or something I can do from frontview (or whatever the netgearized web UI is called?) Perhaps I can modify the firmware file so that OS6RC11 thinks that OS6RC11 is a valid "upgrade"? (not sure - I haven't tried to upgrade to itself without modifying.)
@StephenB: I wonder if the UI visible LIST of available apps is also stored on /data. If so, it might be lost on my box (until I factory restore it again.) Oddly, very few people would probably be hit with the issue, as I suspect most people who want the available apps are going to leave the initial volume intact.... no... even that would be too visible. However, if an OS upgrade "fixed" the problem, then perhaps that's why its not a bigger problem. (I no longer think it has anything to do with the unsupported h/w.)
