OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
Thank you very much for your answers.
I was looking for a new operating system for my Netgear because it has quite a lot of problems
(e.g. total failure when copying files with AFP on Macs, low speeds with SMB and quite some bit rots -exactly what is described in the arstechnica article).
At this instance it would probably be a good idea using a new OS either OS6 by Netgear or FreeNas/Nas4free with ZFS to prevent these kind of failures with more data safety.
If Netgear uses software RAID with btrfs does the array have the same self healing functionality as a redundant hardware raid like btrfs-raid5 or btrfs-raid1?
If not that would probably mean the need to go for ZFS.
Anyway thanks for the help.
