ReadyNAS BusinessPro (6310) upgrade to OS 6 stuck at Booting 98%

Subject pretty much says it all. It's been stuck at "Booting 98%" for more than eight hours.

 

I've read other posts saying that this upgrade was successful. For those who had success, how long did it take?

 

Thanks.

  • Did you install the Prep add-on before installing the R4toR6 bin?

    If not you will need to do a manual factory default via the boot menu

    If you did install the Prep add-on at this point you could try doing a manual factory default via the boot menu anyway.

    If it still won't come up then I can take a look.

    Can you try powering off the system and then booting it again?

     

    If that does not resolving it perhaps try a factory reset (wipes all data, settings, everything) using the boot menu.

      OK. I just pressed the on-off button briefly and the display changed to "systemd-quotacheck". Then I pressed it briefly again and it again displayed "Booting 98%."

       

      Should I simply hold it down until it shuts off and then turn it on again?

        Yes.

        I assume that as you are updating from OS4 to OS6 you have backed up your data.
