Ready NAS 316 version 6.2.2 to the newest 6.10.9 upgrade

Hey all, is there anything I need to know before trying to upgrade from a very old version on a 316 version 6.2.2 to 6.10.9 ? It does not say I need to go to any other version before going to 6.10.9...

It should work, though you might consider doing a factory default afterwards, recreating the shares, and restoring from backup.  They did make some changes to how the file system was set up some years back now, and I think you'll get a little better performance if you do that.

 

Do you have any apps installed?  If you do, which ones?
