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.
Just upgraded my Pro Business Edition from 4.2.x to OS6.1.6 and auto-update to 6.1.7 shortly after this morning after a week of copying my 6TB data off (via USB2.0 port, yet it barely managed 100Mbit/s).
I was installing some of the free apps via frontview (based on Ext JS framework btw), and at my 8th (or so) app install, which nearly was finished, I got the message "Unable to connect to device. Maybe busy" (or something similar), which I had gotten earlier when doing configuration on the "System" tab like enabling services and checking performance graphs. This time I noticed it had a "Cancel" button, so I clicked it - I was also logged in via SSH at the same time and neither it or windows had any issues connecting to shares, so device must just be busy.
After that, frontview has been dead. SSH and browsing from windows still works. I have tried to reboot without any change.
Do I need to manually start apache2 ?
Looking at /var/log/dmesg the last lines seem to indicate only 3 drives were recognized upon last reboot, where as it was detected all 6 drives earlier.
Keep in mind volume is still (re)building, and I recall it as about 13 hours left. While I havent read the entire thread I saw something about a forced scrubbing on sunday (like today), but OS6 is only about 3 hours "old" on my Pro.
Edit1: Frontview came up on its own, but transmission remains dead. I know transmission is working because after I installed it, I gave it 2 torrents which finished just fine.
Edit2: Transmission is working again, after I did a "disable enable" routine. Odd it didnt start on its own (frontview reported it "On").
Not sure if anything has changed, but I have not had any issues with loud fan or OLED LCD always on. It seems like frontview gets the correct fan speed and temperatures (drives, CPU and system).
So overall a good experience so far. Will need to do some testing on stability and speeds once volume is build. I could not remove/destroy or rename the default volume name "data".
What is the default folder "/media" supposed to do on OS6 ?
Its not like on OS4 where music, picture and video folders were inside it. In fact, on OS6, its not even visible as a share and when I mount (on windows), it just shows an empty folder named "backups" and a "songs3.db" file and I cannot find neither of those via SSH.
