OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

As I understand it you are using it on (at least) one 6 Pro. Any issues? What version of OS6 are you running? I have just bought a ReadyNAS 6 Pro and was thinking of starting fresh on OS6 since it adds features and BTRFS as underlying file system. I would use the Pro 6 for: * for file share (mostly Mac) * ReadyNAS remote app on iOS * Plex * DLNA to my TV's * Time Machine backups * WebDAV file access Any input on features, functionality that is missing etc. would be greatly appreciated!

So doing a follow-up on my own post. I've received my Pro 6 and now upgraded it to 6.1.2 and it works great!

I've installed 2*1,5TB and 2*2TB and running it as one big volume (shows as RAID 5 with X-RAID). The sync of discs took a long time but during that time I had no problem copying data to it with speeds ranging from 80-100 MB/s (on gigabit network from a Mac Pro using AFP).
I am using RN Remote from the iPhone and it works. Next step might be to try the RN Remote Mac client from my MB Air when not at home.
Time machine also works good from the Air when at home.

Plex works! I did some mistake when trying to upgrade/install the 0.9.8-version from plexapp.com so now I have reverted to 0.9.7 that came with OS6 6.1.2, there is some issues with managing App from the ReadyNAS Web Interface (getting error when trying to start it, getting error when trying to update to a new version that it show is available even though I am using the latest available from NetGear) so I have to start Plex manually using SSH... I cannot figure out how to make it fully working in the ReadyNAS web interface. Not a problem since Plex starts and work and also the web interface for Plex works (port 32400). But it would be nice to be able to have the latest Plex version and that it works correctly in ReadyNAS web interface.

Some issues and comments.

Fan noise
This was an issue for me. The fans was running max all the time. After installing lm-sensors and fancontrol (apt-get) the fan start to behave more normal. Still showing as 5355 rpm in the web interface though... The detailed temperature graph is not working either (it show 0 degree). The overview show temperature for Aux, CPU, Systems and the disk but I don't know if I can trust the numbers. The fan keeps changing rpm all the time which is somewhat annoying but I plan to put the NAS somewhere where it wont matter.

Missing things
I am missing the disk spin down feature that was in OS4 but does not exist in OS6. Hope that comes in a future firmware update.
I also miss that there is no WebDAV support in OS6 so for the time being I guess I will be using RN Remote App from the Mac when not at home.

Future stuff
I plan on testing to activate Jumbo frames to see if I can get better performance. And also to get a better network switch to be able to use network bonding (on both the Pro6 and the Mac Pro) to see if I can get better throughput.
I also plan on maybe setting up iSCSI and move some of my Aperture libraries to the NAS. That requires to buy a iSCSI-driver for OSX though...

So far a very happy upgrade and purchase! Looking forward to any feedback on the above and also new features in the coming releases of OS6!
