ReadyNAS Pro 6 Pioneer Edition cannot boot after OS4 to OS6 upgrade
Greetings! I had upgraded my ReadyNAS Pro 6 Pioneer Edition to OS6, and when it first rebooted, all appeared well. The hard drives were building a new RAID set, and Raidar saw the device on the net...

How much RAM is in the Pro-6?

built that backup on a ReadyNAS314 (running OS6), so that I could attempt to move the RAIDset from the 314 to the upgraded Pro 6.
Does this disk set boot ok when you put it back into the RN314?

Yes. Actually, the RAID set was created in a EDA500 connected to a RN314. Once I replaced the drives into the EDA500, it "rebuilt" for a short while and is now fine.

Did you export the volume before you removed the disks?
I've never used the EDA500 - Sandshark has, and likely knows the expected behavior if you attempt to migrate an EDA500 volume in this way.

No, I did not "export". I had created a volume on the EDA500 and used robocopy to mirror the raidset on the Pro 6 to the volume on the EDA500. That took a week! I do have another backup, just in case.

Not surprised. Robocopy was likely the bottleneck - RSYNC or NFS backup jobs would have run faster. Still, Robocopy is very robust.
