ReadyNas Pro -100
Acquired an Old ReadyNas pro 6 -100 it is running OS6 6.10.9 2GB memory and the 1.8ghz processor Bios is version 1.6 I'd like to update the Bios to version 2.0 for the higher speed FSB memory and...
The command Sandshark (lsblk) provided does not function in Tech Support Mode.
FWIW, it was my suggestion. But good to know, as other users will likely run into this. Tech support Mode is missing a lot of commands.
I think in most cases the USB drive will be right after the last internal disk (so sde1 if there are 4 drives in the system), and the flash will be the one after that. But "most cases" isn't the same as all cases. sdc1 was the drive in Sandshark's writeup because he was testing on a Pro 2 (presumably with two drives installed).
But this might not be always true, and it is important to find the correct drive.
The write up provided by Sandshark was fully executed and the VPD file is now on the USB drive successfully.
Great!
# mount /dev/sdd1 usb
mount: mounting /dev/sdd1 on usb failed: No such file or directory
try /usb
kind of perplexing to me :-)
mount /dev/sdd1 /usb
mount: mounting /dev/sdd1 on /usb failed: No such file or directory
# ls
bin home lib64 opt run sysroot usr
dev init media proc sbin tmp var
etc lib mnt root sys usb
kind of perplexing to me :-)
Does /dev/sdd1 exist?
Well now I feel silly. I have 1 drive and the USB stick in the front how would I verify what drives are what? I attenpted the command with SDA1, SDB1. SDC1 is valid. I see in your comments to use the drive associated but I am not sure how to validate that.
Thank you for sticking with me on this.

Try running lsblk
Not sure if that is available in tech support mode, but if it is, it will give you the size of all the disk partitions.
