    You guys seriously own Earth

    I mean that literally.  one of my xpenology array's is named Earth :smile:  Very grateful to this community and the folks that run this forum, and contribute to the xpenology project.  Being able to turn my old readynas into a useful device has been very rewarding both from a nerd project perspective and from a daily use perspective.  So thank you.

    Tutorial: Install/Migrate DSM 5.2 to 6.1.x (Jun's loader)

    Something else to note for all of you looking for a cheap way to get into a nice Synology RAID Array.  I have the RNDP6000 unit (it's a 6 bay Ready Nas Pro Business model).  It's VERY old like 7 years old.  I don't even know what max capacity on it is... but I have 6 5TB drives in right now running the latest XPENOLOGY with 6.1.3 update 4. It's running like a raped ape.  Completely compatible. I bet you can find used diskless units for cheap and throw some drives in it and save thousands.  Also something to note you do have to pick up a little ribbon cable to svga plug for it.  Open the case and put the plug on some pins and you have Video.  That's the only thing for setting it up the first go around.  (Just looked on ebay and one sold for 235 in August.)

    Might help if you state the processor, network card etc & which bootloader you're using.

    I appreciate the offer.  I actually just fixed it and I'm at Update 4 successfully.  For those of you that run into this problem... my issue was solved because I inadvertently downloaded the wrong version of the bootloader.  Make sure you are on the right version ;) I  didn't figure it out until I went through it all step by step and realized that I downloaded the wrong version.  Everything is running smooth like a cucumber. Get updated to Update 4 though. My system started saying there were bad sectors on two of my drives (which was absolutely not the case). When I updated to update 4 I did not have that issue.

    I have a readynas (old 6 bay array) one of the original "ReadyNas business edition" versions.  Been running 5.5 fine.  I had to replace some drives recently and I figured I'd run this tutorial. Followed it exactly but when it reboots after loading .pat file it says recover. I click recover and it says repairing 1%... 2% then it says "rebooting array" and then doesn't actually reboot anything (I believe).  Just keeps going back to recover.  Synology Assistant says status is "recoverable" 

    Any thoughts guys? I had the no problem with any of the steps or finding any of the info (such as USB id/etc..)

    DSM 6 Beta - Delayed

    I figured you guys grabbed the beta and started your work internally so you were ready when the final launched. If you got lucky and everything was golden you would be ready to release it to the community. This is particularly relevant if you start charging for your releases (as hinted at in the survey we filled out). I would definitely be willing to pay for full version upgrades but if I did there would be an expectation that it was handled professionally (etc.. etc..). Anyway love what you are doing.
