Pro Pioneer Booting stuck at 96% after OS6 upload
Hello - I started with a conversion from Raidiator 4.2.31 to OS6 on an Pro Pioneer and may have misstepped. BTW, everything is backed up twice and I'm planning on the ensuing data wipe. I wa...
If you didn't install the Prep add-on before installing the firmware upgrade then it won't automatically do the factory reset. Installing OS6 over the top of RAIDiator-x86 4.2.x will leave the system in a state where it can't complete a normal boot.
Power off and do the manual factory reset using the boot menu. That will wipe the disks and do a clean install of OS6.

Aha! Kisses. Kudos. Joy. The power-off and factory reset root with paper clip did the job and rebuilt the Pro Pioneer 6x4TB (WD40EFRX) array to OS 6.9.5. It is running a cool 35C with fans quiet at 1750 and 1050 rpm.
My goal is to next expand capacity by building in 14TB Red Pro WD141KFGX drives (I already have two in a RN316). Worth trying? So far no data has been recopied back to the Pro Pioneer.
Question: What is the most stable version of the OS for the 14TB drive? The update check is offering 6.10.3.
Many thanks! Ralph
