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.
Hi guys,
first of all great respect for the ability to put OS6 on my ReadyNAS Ultra 2. I started with 4.2.24 and upgraded to 25 after which I went uploading files to my NAS to test the speed. I was happy with the 60MB/s transfer it managed but couldn't resist to try the new features of OS6. After installing which went like a charm I tried uploading files again and got a staggering 80MB/s. I'd say that's worth the upgrade...
However I seem to have the same issues others experienced. I get sudden drop outs after which my NAS isn't reachable by SSH and the file tranfer hangs for a few minutes after which my iMac gives me an error. Sometimes it continues in time again to complete the transfer but more often I need to hard reset the NAS. I've had a better experience with a transfer via FTP (2 threads) to upload the data to my 2x2TB drives in JBOD but now it hangs more often even when trying to copy a 2GB video file.
My question is, is this also related to the BTRFS which will be fixed in the 6.1.5? Or am I better of with the 4.2.24 Radiator although it will be less fast. I don't mind the factory reset since my data is still on the NAS and external harddrives (which I intend to wipe after everything works as it should).
