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)
Be forewarned, this requires a SYSTEM WIPE and likely voids any warranty support from NTGR
Supported so far: pro 2/4/6, ultra 2/4/6, old pro / Pioneer Pro, 2100v2
Not Supported: NVX and 2100v1
Thanks go out to "HomeBrew Anonymous" for making this possible.
Update 2: A firmware image to downgrade back to 4.2.26 is now available. See this thread. While this downgrade should get you a working system again on the supported firmware, be forewarned this requires a SYSTEM WIPE and NetGear also does not provide support for this downgrade. If you have issues seek help on these forums.
Original Post/Gripes
I have been reading these forums since Monday's announcement and there has been a resounding "ooof" regarding the fact the Ultras and Pros are unsupported for future OS improvements.
To clear the air: it would appear Netgear will never support os6 on past hardware. I have almost come to grips with this, and at least they have been open and honest with their forward direction and aren't stringing us along. viewtopic.php?f=138&t=70131
The upside is our devices still work and are mostly stable and eventually we can upgrade to a new shell that has os6 support, but in the meantime our $500-1000 investment is unable to take advantage of modern features we all desire.
I don't think I can add a poll here at RN forums, but I would like to garner support for a 100% unsupported home brew of the os6 on Pro6 units.
If we get enough support perhaps a talented member(s) here would help release a homebrew of sorts.
The 3 main caveats are:
1. Netgear will never be held responsible/your warranty is void
2. A format is required (new FS and OS)
3. Data loss is highly possible
If you are still interested please post a reply to this thread.
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.

- Thanks mdgm.... and sorry
Restrict share NFS access to one host works fine.
I use lxc with multiple bridges and I was expecting an other IP address from my container. My eyes must be closed when I checked yesterday with netstat - Today，new version OS6.0.7 has been releas on ftp。
- Nice.
- Pro2
running 6.0.7 .. upgraded manually from 6.0.6.
runs smoothly, reboot works fine, FAN speed corrected. APC UPS detected normally.
Only FAN rotations & CPU graph tell wrong numbers at 6.xx GUI.
thank you guys for nice custom build .. :D - Has anybody experienced spontaneous volume rebuilds ? It happened to me this past weekend on my 6.0.6 Ultra 4 for no apparent reasons. It had been running fine for more than two weeks. It started at 00:57 Sunday night and completed successfully after about 7 hours.
My Ultra 4 is almost new with the stock RAM, 2 2tb WD Red drives (RAID1/XRAID) and an APC UPS. Going through the logs, I couldn't see anything explaining this. The volume is half full and there are no smart errors on any of the drives.
Any idea what could have caused this (bug, problem) ? Any tips on what too look for (logs, etc.) to diagnose this ? martroy wrote: Has anybody experienced spontaneous volume rebuilds ?

Thanks! Good to know that this is part of the preventive maintenance. I was getting worried... ;)- Lets Install Sabnzbplus wheezy edition(old):
#apt-get install nano
#nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add:
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main non-free
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy contrib
Ctrl + O ->enter
Ctrl + X ->enter
#apt-get update
#apt-get install sabnzbplus
#apt-get install python-openssl
#apt-get install unrar
#apt-get install par2
#nano /etc/default/sabnzbdplus
USER=root
Host=0.0.0.0
Port:8082 (you can put here whatever you like 9091/8080/etc)
Ctrl + O ->enter
Ctrl + X ->enter
#reboot
You can now find and configure sabnzb on nas ip:port->the one you put here example 192.168.1.123:8080 - And this is using Ubuntu latest sabnzbplus with self update:
#echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcfp/ppa/ubuntu precise main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
#apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371 --recv-keys 0x98703123E0F52B2BE16D586EF13930B14BB9F05F
#apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
#apt-get install sabnzbplus - apt-get upgrade ?
Won't that brick the NAS ?
