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.
Thanks to AMRivlin and to all who helped making this OS6 available to legacy x86.
I own a readyNAS Ultra 2 based on an Atom D405 which is happily a 64bit cpu :) But currently don't have enough time to try OS6 myself (neither have the necessary disks for a full backup and factory default)
Therefore, I do have some questions for you guys :
The first question is that the Ultra 2 has 2 ethernet ports (without link aggregation under 4.2.23). Would it be possible to enable link aggregation with 'upgrading' to OS6? (i doubt that^^) In other words, is there any hardware requirement before any software implementation of this kind of feature ? And about fail-over ? could that be do-able with the help of readyNAS OS6 ?
My 2nd question is : I currently use mainly 2 add ons on my 4.2.23 which are DDNS and transmission. I believe those 2 features are not included in the bare readyNAS OS6. For bittorrent i guess i'll just have to wait for a solution to install addons without Genie.
But for Dynamic DNS and bonding/fail-over, is there an easy solution to enable one of them in OS6, or any other solution (friendly one if possible because i am a linux noob, although if i can easily follow instructions). I've read that the linux bonding driver came with kernel 2.0 (which means it could have been possible on 4.2.x ??). Anyway I'll let the question to whom posses the knowledge about this.
Again thanks to all the 'fans' of the readyNas who shares solution, improvements, addons, etc...
