OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
Hangover Sunday, so I am poking around a bit, breaking stuff and reinstalling a few times.
I've found out that the disk structure is btrfs over standard md RAID.
The code drop for btrfs RAID5/6 was in february and btrfs-tools and thus probably btrfs itself is from january.
So the on disk raid structure is essentially unchanged.
OS6 ships with btrfs-convert, I wonder if it is possible to do a conversion and a simple OS reinstall instead of a factory reset?
Will OS6 accept the converted disks?
Does anyone know how to access the internal flash, or extract the contents to a bootable USB drive?
If succesful does anyone know how to package the changes back into the bin file?
