Upgrade 1, upgrade all, or junk it

Not exactly sure what I'm supposed to get, but with the -h I get 47% with two directories listed and on the -i I get 2% with the same two directories.

Do you mean 2% used or 2% free?

Perhaps cut/paste the results for both commands and post them here.

The symptoms sound like a full OS partition - which can be easily fixed if you get to it in time.

What add-ons are running?  Is ReadyDLNA enabled?

I'm not familiar with what the results mean so I'm posting a screen grab.

Also I'm not able to get the browser to access the unit so I cannot answer your questions about add-ons and ReadyDLNA completely. I think ReadyDLNA might have been checked because I used to use the box to stream music in iTunes.

Is there a way I can get answers to these questions from the command line as root?

Hmmm. Not even listing the 4GB root volume (that is odd). I think it must be full and can't be fixed in normal mode.

mgdm, thank you. That solved the problem. (The unit still has several periods every day where the fan tends to rev up for fifteen or more minutes, but it did that before too.) However, it's a backup unit and is running as well as it did before. The Reallocated Sector Count on that one drive is still at 5. The other four drives are still at 0. So, for the time being, all's good.

Thanks again.

mgdm, thanks again for your help. Sorry for being out-of-touch, but I suddenly had a dead drive and had to replace it.

I'm going to do the upgrade to OS6. As I've previously stated, this old ReadyNAS BusinessPro is just used as a daily backup unit for my newer 516 NAS. So I did a backup of the 516 onto a separate drive unit and have downloaded PREP4TOR6_0.1-x86.bin and R4toR6_6.5.2.bin.

I'll post again when it's done. (Or if I have issues, although I am not expecting any.)

Again, thank you for your assistance.

Well, the ReadyNAS has been reading "Booting... 98%" for more than four hours now. It seems like a boot should only take ten or fifteen minutes.

The steps I did:
1. Downloaded PREP4TOR6_0.1-x86.bin and R4toR6_6.5.2.bin.
2. Went to the Install and loaded PREP4TOR6_0.1-x86.bin but didn't boot.
3. Did the sytem upgrade with R4toR6_6.5.2.bin.

It restarted and flashed a message or two that I didn't catch. Then it began to boot. It went through to 96% pretty quickly, perhaps ten minutes or so. After that it moved to 98% and it's been there ever since.

Is this standard? Is there something else I should do?

Thank you.

You could try powering down and doing a factory reset using the boot menu.
