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.
Ok. Thank you.
Routinely is probably an overstatement. It happened to about 5 - 8 photo files and 2 -3 video files in 4 years.
But you are right there are quite some issues going on on my ReadyNAS, which mounted after rebuilding and upgrading the NAS because of a fatal disk failure.
Another issue is an AFP failure which makes several Macs crash by putting the finder.app hors de combat every time the Mac is connected via the AFP protocol and copies data. SMB works but horribly slow at 5 MB/s. ...
So the faith in the ReadyNAS as a reliable storage system is really low at the moment.
One last question:
When one disconnecs the drives of an existing X-RAID2 stripe before using the ReadyNAS OS6 "hack", testing it with other HDDs
and then downgrade eventually back to RAIDiator 4.2 installing them back
does the system recognise the existing RAID or does it ask to do a factory reset and delete all data on the RAID array?
All according to this manual: http://netgear.nas-central.org/wiki/OS6_on_Legacy_x86
Thank you very much for the help.

Sorry to be sound skeptical here, but if you were seeing these routinely I am thinking something else was going on.
