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.
(a) neither mdgm nor I work for netgear. We are users/customers just like you, so we have no vested interest in making "NTGR look better".
(b) the 70% threshold warning applies to all ReadyNAS, it was not added for OS6. The same alert is also given for the older OS4 products which run ext. AFAIK it was simply carried over from the old OS.
(c) While you can "fill a volume" without creating fragmentation, generally speaking very full volumes do become fragmented - which will impact performance as mdgm says.

What on earth are you talking about here? All those RAID modes are available in OS6.
