ReadyNAS 2100 Update
Good day!
We want to upgrade our ReadyNAS 2100 to OS6, replace the disks from 2TB to 4TB and update the OS either to the salty version of Debian, or to put something else, for example Fedora30. Tell me, how best to do it and can it be done?
If you convert it to OS-6 you'll be running Debian 8. The current release (6.10.1) shows the following:
root@NAS:~# uname -srm
Linux 4.4.178.x86_64.1 x86_64
root@NAS:~# cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="ReadyNASOS 6.10.1" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="8" VERSION="8 (jessie)" ID=debian HOME_URL="http://www.debian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="http://www.debian.org/support" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"If you want to continue to run OS-6 you'll need to stick with Netgear-supplied linux.
There's a lot of information on how to do the conversion in this forum. One of several links is here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/Lost-contact-with-NAS-after-upgrading-Windows-10/m-p/1656875#M150811
This conversion isn't supported by Netgear - meaning they won't provide paid support if you do it.

Yes, we know that. We have V2. and raidiator 4.2.27. Debian version 4.0.

Can I put disks over 2TB? Is it possible to update Debian to the latest version or install another OS? Any help.

I don't own a 2100v2, but I believe you can already do that. Note the published hard drive compatibility list hasn't been updated for years, so it is outdated. However, there are some XRAID expansion limits with 4.2.x firmware that will kick in if you go too large.
