I cannot, for the life of me, understand WHY PEOPLE CAN'T READ THROUGH THE FREAKIN' FORUM'S COMPLETELY... Are they just that lazy, or is not being able to read truly an issue... I've only posted 1 time and been following Synology and specifically this Xpenology forum for the past 4 years. I have had a xpenology box successfully running and on the latest version at that for most of those 4 years. Why? BECAUSE I READ THROUGH THE FORUM'S COMPLETELY! I FOLLOWED PEOPLE'S LINKS. NOT ONCE HAVE I EVER NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND WHAT I NEEDED BECAUSE THESE DEVELOPERS WORK HARD AND DOCUMENT THEIR WORK WELL! They post their findings and work in forums so other people can benefit from those findings, and the only thing they ask is that you fully read something... I get so annoyed with seeing posts asking the stupidest question of can I install it on my computer and how. I can almost ALWAYS guarantee someone has already tried it, on a similar system, and has documented their findings here!! A lot of these forum's have gone private because of annoyances such as this issue! There's nothing wrong with being new, and wanting to learn, but YOU WILL LEARN NOTHING IF SOMEBODY HOLDS YOUR HAND THE ENTIRE TIME. The reason for these posts is to truly help debug a real problem you have! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THE ENTIRE FORM, NEXT TIME, DONT' BE SO LAZY, CLICK THE WHITE BOX WITH "SEARCH..." IN IT AND USE IT! IF IT RETURNS NOTHING, TRY USING SEARCH BOOLEANS IN YOUR SEARCH. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE GOOGLE IT; THEY'VE MADE BILLIONS BECAUSE OF THEM! ./endrant

Excellent!! Thank you so much. That was the one thing I forgot to include was it's a non-uefi system.

I have read through the pages and pages of posts on both DSM 6 posts and have attempted to install DSM 6 myself but can never seem to get it to work. I know my hardware is supported, but when I try to troubleshoot the posts jump around so much and there are so many of them that I definitely get lost. I've successfully installed and ran an Xpenology box for the last 4 years, watched the forums religiously, and am familiar with the process for installing, this one is a different. I'm hella grateful for all the hard work of the developers, and understand the difficulty in patching software. And definitely think it's crap that Synology has gotten away (thus far) with not releasing they're source code. The xpenology developers have definitely saved me a boatload with the 9 cam surveillance station ($0) I have setup and installing it all on hardware that's compatible but significantly cheaper!! My question is this, would it be easy to put a guide together on how to do a bare metal install of DSM 6? I know they are diligently working, and working hard and I know there's a way to install it. I also think it might cut down on all the "is there a DSM 6 release?" or the "how can I do it posts" from the lazy people. Except this one... [emoji12]Thanks again developers!!
