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.
Awesome :o
I tried the interface GUI through a VM thanks to your image of OS6.0.6. Pretty cool :D Thanks a lot, chirpa (and also for the fast answer).
Therefore i remind myself that i am using a APC Black-UPS 550GI. I bet it will be recognized by OS6 without a hitch (as it was on all 4.2.x plugged with APC's special cable included).
Nearly all my griefs against Netgear are blown away thanks to the community here. I will have to wait for to obtain bigger hard drives (waiting for WD Red 4TB).
I am really wondering what could be the performance comparison between a legacy 1.8GHz atom dual-core on OS6 compare to the new readyNAS 104 with Armada 370@1.2GHz.
I have seen this post talking about a performance hit on 6.0.6 ( viewtopic.php?f=21&t=70847 ). But my guess is that it's a problem specific to his case : he didn't talk about the performance optimization (like "enable disk write cache" or "Disable full data journaling") and didn't make thorough speed testing.
Did anyone, who tried OS6 on legacy x86, see any noticeable performance difference (whatever plateforme used) ?
