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 fellas,
I read a lot about Pro's and Plus's upgrading to OS6, but not too many people with Ultra's and only one person with an Ultra 6.
I'm wanting to upgrade my Ultra 6 to OS6 but would really like to hear first from people in the know if there any known compatibility issues or known problems (other than non working Genie and Antivirus that might F the system up). I have absolute zero knowledge of Linux so if I'd need to go into SSH then I'm Fubar.
Also;
- Does performance suffer under OS6 since the Ultra's only have a puny Atom CPU.
- And in that light, do temps go up noticably? (Although my CPU is hard stuck at 50c...)
- On my RN516 there is currently no idle drive spin down which simply aggravates me. My RNDU6000 under OS4 DOES have idle drive spin down. Is it safe to assume then that when I upgrade my Ultra 6 to OS6 that I will lose idle drive spin down? (Until 6.2 comes out supposedly).
- The post above somewhat concerns me. If frontview scrubbing is so useless in OS6 then how can I, as nitwit end user, fix any file errors? (The whole SSH spiel is over my head, even if it is interesting).
- Does OS4 have this scrubbing effectiveness limitation? (I might wanna stick with that if it doesn't).
- Is there some form of tool or simpler command to enable effective scrubbing under OS6?
- Can anyone simply confirm the voltage reporting issue and fan issue are no longer issues with 6.1.9 on an Ultra 6?
I'm not afraid to experiment but would like to know a little better what I'm walking into if others already suffered it. Rebuilding a 30TB array under OS4 again and copying the files again will take over a week if it should be a failure.
