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.
It just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. . .
So, since no one chimed in with any suggestions, I just kept playing with stuff. Here is what I've done so far:
1.) I shut the ReadyNAS Pro down
2.) I removed the fresh drive that was in Bay 4 which was supposed to be the replacement for the pseudo-failed drive
a. So at this point all that is in the box are drives in Bays 1, 2, and 3
3.) I moved the drive in Bay 3 to Bay 4, 2 to Bay 3 and 1 to Bay 2, essencially shifting the entire array down one drive slot (so now Bay 1 is empty)
4.) I powered the ReadyNAS back on. Much to my surprise, it actually booted up just fine.
5.) I waited about 10 minutes, logged into the GUI, checked the logs, and everything seems okay
6.) I reinserted the new drive that did not get incorporated into the array previously, this time into Bay 5. Still no magic happening. . . :-?
7.) Now I'm getting annoyed. Since I was about 15 minutes away from doing a sledgehammer reset on the damn thing (Factory Default and start over) anyway, I decided to take the original drive (that started out in Bay 4), connect it to a computer, erase the three partitions that the ReadyNAS OS created on it, and shoved THAT drive into Bay 6.
8.) Guess what? See the screenshot below. . .
So, in case anyone is wondering what my plans are now:
9.) Once the array finishes Re-syncing (about 6 hours from now) I plan to re-remove the screwy drive currently in Bay 5 and run some basic forensics on it to see if I can figure out why the ReadyNAS is treating it like a "Red-Headed Step Child"
10.) Then I intend on DBAN'ing it (http://www.dban.org/), formatting it, and surface testing it
11.) If all that is a success, I'll clear any remaining partitions and put it back into Bay 5 and see what happens. . .
Oh what fun it is to. . . :wiggle:
