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.
mdgm wrote: The factory reset after updating to 6.1.5 from an earlier ReadyNAS OS 6 is recommended but not mandatory. Once 6.1.5 has been released the update image will be replaced with one to update direct to 6.1.5. So in the future users newly upgrading their systems from 4.2.x to ReadyNAS OS 6 will get the benefits of 6.1.5 when the required factory default takes place.
Based on the following thread it sounds more like it will be mandatory:

Although strictly speaking I guess you could get away with not using the larger metadata block sizes. Your second statement makes sense since upgrading directly to 6.1.5 from 4.2.x requires a factory default anyway.
