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.
I'm successfully using OS 6.3.5 on a Pro 6 and got the 6.4.0 upgrade prompt yesterday. Reading elsewhere on this forum about the booting issues others have after upgrading an officially supported device, I think I will wait a while before clicking the upgrade button on my officially unsupported device.
Do not upgrade to 6.4.0 unless you want major headaches. My pro 6 and ultra 6 tell a story of random drives dropping out of the volume and lots of lockups and just other odd/bad behavior. I don't think 6.4.0 was ready for primetime so I wish it wouldn't have prompted me to do so. I should just switch back to 4X and be done with it.
