[Advice on upgrade path from DSM 5.2-5644 to 6.*]

I would recommend the following;

 

Always do a test build/install with a spare HDD (disconnect your raid drives) before any upgrade and take a backup

 

I would upgrade from to the 5644 loader to 5.2-5967.1 loader first, this is not essential just puts you on the 'latest version' of 5.2;

Install 5644 test system on spare HDD> create 5967 boot loader > migrate > check all ok

 

Once you have that then do your test upgrade from 5.2-5967 to 6.0/6.1 (depending on your hardware);

Create new boot image from @Polanskimans tutorial > Boot > migrate > check all ok

If you are running additional drive controllers you might need to check with the HDD connected to make sure its recognised

 

 

Hi,

 

Many thanks for your suggestions, i'll give it a go.

There is a  tutorial pinned. At the top. Really hard to miss.

 

So you think I haven't seen that?  Or perhaps you just have low tolerance for people with less technical expertise than yourself?

 

Given the 40+ pages of various issues on that thread I don't think it's unreasonable for me to politely ask for a little guidance.

Would really appreciate any guidance here.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

I am currently running DSM 5.2-5644 and would like to upgrade DSM 6.* to access some of the new features and also the security patches.

 

My hardware is ASROCK Q1900ATX with 8GB of RAM and 3x4TB drives.

 

What is my most straightforward/reliable upgrade path from this setup that's keeps my data intact?

 

Thanks in advacne.

[NFS Permissions and Setup]

Well I seemed to have fixed my own problem...

 

I enabled SSH and changed NFS permissions "Squash" from "no mapping" to "map all users to admin".

 

hope this maybe helps somebody in the future...

[NFS Permissions and Setup]

Hi,

 

I am new to XPEnology and have just built a new NAS using the ASROCK QC1900 mobo.

 

I have the system up and running and seemingly working well, but have run into an issue with NFS.

 

I have enabled NFS shares for PHOTO, MUSIC and VIDEO but am currently only able to access the PHOTO folder via NFS.

 

I have an existing Synology NAS that I have been using with Kodi and copied all the same settings to my new XPEnology build but I am unable to browse to the content of the video and music folders on my XPEnology.

 

Going through all the various tabs there is an "advanced permissions" option under the advanced tab for both the MUSIC and VIDEO folders but this option does not appear for the PHOTO folder. I have played around with these advanced permissions both on and off but with no success

 

When attempting to browse NFS shares via Kodi I can see the VIDEO and MUSIC shares but am unable to open them, the PHOTO share works just fine.

 

Any suggestions as to what might be going on?

 

Any help much appreciated!
