Top post Matty.

I for one, appreciate you posts, your VBox post has served many a people great service, it's a top guide for any one to follow.

Thanks for posting the above on your Google Drive, I've grabbed it and will undoubtedly use it once my Ultra is back in service.

Hello everyone,

I just upgraded my ultra 2 to 6.1.4 according to this thread. Everything works fine (no issue with fan) and I could install few app from the market.
Right now, I have 1 issue.

Where do I configure the printer? It is connected but I cannot find any entry in the interface!
Sorry for dumb question...

[super_poussin]

No printer support in OS6

[Papagaiou]

Hi SUper-Poussin

Actually it works. Just a shame it is not supported in the interface. This is what I did:
apt-get update
apt-get install cups libcups2
cupsctl --remote-admin
/etc/init.d/cups restart
web log to http://localhost(or your IP there):631
Use login/password for root (NOT admin)
Add printer
My lexmark e232 was not there but I found a PPD with Google that works
Enable Web sharing and sharing
Test print -->>OK
then go to windows computer add printer with full http link . USe correct windows driver.
Test printing from computer OK

Now the surprise is that AIRPRINT WORKED. out of the box.
From Ipad ios 7, select Airprint , the printer is shown then print then it goes out of the printer.
YOUPI !!!!!!!!

[super_poussin]

Will take a look

[super_poussin]

a cups addon is in the community dropbox 🙂


Enjoy it

[Papagaiou]

Ouah you are fast.

What it will change for me if I now install your addon? Is there some cups properties directly accessible from the interface then?

Would it be possible to make an addon for Crashplan and Google Cloud Print?

Thanks for your contribution to the RDN community.

[super_poussin]

I also add pdf support in 1.0.1 version 🙂 you will be able to start stop cups from interface and have abutton to launch it from frontview

[Papagaiou]

Great work.
Did you check that Airprint was also working with the addon?

[super_poussin]

it works from my iphone 5s in 7.1

[Papagaiou]

What is the recommended way to install your addon as .deb ?

[super_poussin]

from gui using the uplaod menu under apps

Hi, I have a an RNDP6350 upgraded to OS6 and I forgot to update the bios (thinking the Raidiator update would have done it automatically)
bios_ver.log is saying i have "product_version=10/03/2008 FLAME6-MB V1.6" so I assume I need an update.
Will you guide me what I need to do and where to get the files from?
Thanks

Just started reading this incredible thread.

1. Is the effort worth it?
2. Is it low risk in terms of data loss risk?

[mdgm-ntgr]

1. You can downgrade if you don't like it (I can PM you a link to an image to downgrade if you like. I might even post a link at some point). You should maintain a regular backup anyway

2. If you backup important data regularly it should be low risk. If you run into issues the community here will do its best to help.

[MrCyberdude]

I'm definitely interested in upgrading and down grading potential, but I need to read 57 pages of threads before I know what I need to do.

I browsed by a comment about the bios needing upgrading first so I put the brakes on, is there a recommend link to help shortcut all the reading,
not trying to be lazy but is there a better starting thread than the start of this one? as it has grown huge.

I am looking at buying my 4th ReadyNAS and have been looking at the 516 and 6HDD Raid6 but I need to read a little more.

Maybe we need to grow this thread: viewtopic.php?f=51&t=73874

[mangrove]

Right now I can hardly see a point for normal users in being a beta tester for an unfinished system. The next update will require a factory default to fix a BTRFS bug, for example.
My points from the beginning has been:
1) OS6 was far from finished when released
2) BTRFS wasn't a very smart choice as the main file system
Events are fully validating those points. Oh, except for a few apologists, of course.

[chirpa]

Yes. Since the OS name changed from RAIDiator to ReadyNASOS, would have been nice to use a realistic versioning number. At least ReadyDATA started out at a proper 1.0.0. ReadyNASOS should be around 1.0.3 by now. Still a very immature release as many have commented.

Whosaidwhatnowhuh?

I've recently upgraded my Ultra4 to 6.1.4 (which obviously involved the factory reset), and now i'm going to have to factory default AGAIN for 6.1.5?

Can I ask where you read/saw that? I'd like some info on it, and - if you happen to have it - some info on the BTRFS bugs you mention?

FWIW, I share the concerns over BTRFS. As a Linux user of more years than I care to remember, i've always stuck with the mature and reliable ext* filesystem. The claim that BTRFS is reliable and production ready seems a little premature. But, there's little point complaining about it now - Neatgear have engineered OS6 to use it, so nothing we say here is going to change that. The key is going to be for the community to find ways to avoid data loss or filesystem issues because of it.

Having a much more up to date Linux system underneath is a great positive for people who want to tinker with what their NAS can do; so i'm glad of the upgrade for that. But BTRFS worries me, i'll admit.

Hello there,

first: I didn't read the post properly.
second: I am an idiot.

Now, long story short: I upgraded to OS 6.1.4, which was very easy. Thanks for that. But I didn't realize that when you guys said "all data" it literally meant everything in the hard drives (my thoughts were more or less along the lines of the settings and whatnot).

So now I have a fully functioning ReadyNas Ultra 4 with apparently no data in it.

I am knowledgeable enough to know that the data is still there, as no low level formatting has happened. But I am not sure if there is an easier way than a proper data recovery process to get this information back.

I am trying to boot back to 4.2.24 with a USB, but any further suggestions are accepted (or you can ignore me, which I would understand that too considering how idiotic I am).

thanks

[darshan]

ok, managed to downgrade to 4.2.24, but obviously now wants to rebuild the x-raid2 setup.

any suggestions if I can rebuild the x-raid2 setup without creating a new volume (which then I am guessing will destroy data).
