[Res.] Does firmware upgrade impacts manually inst. services
Hi guys,
Thank you for the quality given to you answers, this forum is really cool.
I tried to find the answer to my question but I can't manage it. Sorry for the possible repost.
I'm using a ReadyNAS Duo v2 (arm) on which I manually installed (thanks to the rootSSH module) several services like:
I'm about to upgrade to RAIDiator-arm 5.3.8.
I understand that firmware upgrades do preserve storage disks' data.
The question is: does a firmware upgrade preserve also all the stuff I manually did/put/changed/made in the NAS?
I might not have made any change in the frontview system though (I mean editing the frontview code, I'm not talking about using the frontview).
Can I safely upgrade? Should I not upgrade?
Thank you!
Tim

- a Subsonic server;
- a TransmissionBT client;
- a SVN server;
- a fail2ban client;
- added databases to the default provided RDBMS (unless I manually installed MySQL, I can't remember);
- added Bash scripts for monitoring and other Debian-based services...

- The upgrade shouldn't interfere with any of your added applications. Though if you modified existing scripts, there is a possibility that might be undone.
So I would go ahead with the upgrade, keeping that possibility in mind. - Thanks!
I confirm that it does not make any changes to this stuff.
I broke something else by mistake so I post all my pain in another thread.
Thanks again.
Tim - Actually it does, if you have enabled root-SSH and customized for example .bashrc, it will be overwritten and all your custom changes will be lost ;)
