OS6 on Ultra6
Hello guys/girls, I was willing to follow this : OS6-now-works-on-x86-Legacy-WARNING-NO-NTGR-SUPPORT for months now but never found the time... And guess what now I have time..... So I di...
6.9.6 installed, no issues so far.
Thank you for your advice !
Indeed if it's running properly with 6.9.5 and no "bonus" on 6.10.x then I won't play with the devil.
I did the upgrade to 2GB of RAM years ago ;)
Are you using the alerts contact ? Which mail provider is working on yours ?
I don't use alert emails, I just check RAIDar and/or the admin GUI religiously. I probably should implement them on the backup NAS at my brother's place, since it's not always on, but haven't. One of the 6.9.6 improvements is to Gmail, so you should at least upgrade to that if you use Gmail for alerts.
FWIW, I am running 6.10.3 on my OS-6 NAS (my Pro-6 is still on 4.2.31).
I do have email alerts set up on all my NAS (using gmail).
Note if your gmail account doesn't use 2FA and allows less secure apps, you can use the older firmware (just enter the SMTP server, etc).
Thank you StephenB,
An old answer from you brought me to the solution:
"Did you enable "Access for less secure apps" in the gmail security profile?"
When enable this option in google security the email alerts are working properly.
But as I don't want to enable this option I will setup another email account in the alerts contact.

Just to make sure meaning of the "less secure" bit is clear: The ReadyNAS is "less secure" only because it knows your gmail password.
Thank you sandshark, I will have a look to 6.9.6
6.9.6 installed, no issues so far.
I just update my Ultra 2 with 2x6TB HDD from 6.9.5.1 to 6.9.6, works fine :-)
