OS6 upgrade question on legacy Pro 6
Hi All, I have been reading the forum and came across the upgrade thread (OS6 now works on x86 Legacy). I have a couple quick questions so here they are. Is it stable at this point without re...
1- Backup all your data since the upgrade will factory reset everything and wipe the data
2- download "PREP4TOR6_0.1-x86.bin"
3- install it like an add-on, then DON'T REBOOT yet.
4- download R4toR6_latest.bin
5-install it like a normal firmware upgrade.
At the t reboot, it will install OS6 6.3.5, it will take some times (10-15mins) so no worries. You can check when your readynas is ready with raidator, as usual.
There is an add-on you can install before installing the firmware update. The add-on allows you to avoid the need to do a manual factory default as it triggers one at the appropriate time.
What is the file/add-on that does the automatic update? Do I put the lates OS6 bin file over that or does it go right to 6.3.5.
Thanks

You could reboot at Step 3 if you wanted to but it would be a waste of time. The factory reset would not be triggered till after you instal the upgrade image to 6.3.5.
So is the 6.3.5 RC2 the end of the line for legacy products? Ever since the forum switch it's really hard to find information and someone said you shouldn't put 6.4.0 on a legacy device but didn't explain why...
Any clearer answers?
