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.

Whosaidwhatnowhuh?
I've recently upgraded my Ultra4 to 6.1.4 (which obviously involved the factory reset), and now i'm going to have to factory default AGAIN for 6.1.5?
Can I ask where you read/saw that? I'd like some info on it, and - if you happen to have it - some info on the BTRFS bugs you mention?
FWIW, I share the concerns over BTRFS. As a Linux user of more years than I care to remember, i've always stuck with the mature and reliable ext* filesystem. The claim that BTRFS is reliable and production ready seems a little premature. But, there's little point complaining about it now - Neatgear have engineered OS6 to use it, so nothing we say here is going to change that. The key is going to be for the community to find ways to avoid data loss or filesystem issues because of it.
Having a much more up to date Linux system underneath is a great positive for people who want to tinker with what their NAS can do; so i'm glad of the upgrade for that. But BTRFS worries me, i'll admit.
