can I downgrade from 6.9.10 beta to 6.9.3

I am having smb issues where copy or moving files between shares are causing hang.

Would like to downgrade from 6.9.10 beta to 6.9.3.

Can some one please confirm if this can be done without issues

    You must mean the 6.10 beta, not 6.9.10. 

     

    The beta release notes for 6.10 say no.  It's possible that it would work anyway, perhaps PM @OOM-9 and ask.

     

    Please try not to make duplicate posts for the same issue.

    I have also experienced hangs, I think I have narrowed it down to copying between shares due to some interactio with the btrfs subvolumes.

      Want to update.. downgrading to 6.9.5 beta frp, 6.10 beta did not work as intended.  Even tough SMB related issue is sorted..and I am abl eto copy files properly.. Main front end admin page failed to start.  After checking it seems Apache is failing to start.

       

      I need to check on this.

        Front end is not working if you downgrade from 6.10 beta... probably Apache upgrade to 2.4 might be causing this. So back to 6.10 beta..and with it smb file copy issue is back..:(

        Netgear..why are you releasing buggy products and causing issues to us.
  • Hello,

     

    is it really impossible for the End User to downgrade back to 6.9.5 after updating to 6.10 RC2 ?

      Yes..I remember moving back and was working when I went fronm beta to 6.9.3.

      But there were some issues with admin page and we need to sort it out with terminal access....

        If I upload 6.9.5 via WebUI I only get the message that the firmware is older then the firmware on the device.

        I have no problem to factory reset the device and lose all data but it won't even let me flash old firmware?
