August 17, 201312 yr Something which has 'bothered' me ever since running the 5.0beta/rc and upgrading it are the upgrade instructions. It states : 'Prepare the flash: either shutdown your server and plug the flash into your PC or Stop the array and perform the following actions referencing the flash share on your network: ' But whenever I shut down the array, samba is stopped and thus the flash share is not available anymore. I always copy the bz files while the array is started and then reboot without any problems. Are the instructions wrong or am I doing something which should not be done ?
August 17, 201312 yr When you stop the array, SMB is shut down, then it is started up again with just the flash device shared. You can see that all happening on the webGUI at the bottom of the page.
August 17, 201312 yr Author Thanks, now I know what I did wrong. I had the flash share open when stopping the array, and thus getting the disconnected message. B.t.w. never had any problems replacing the files while the array was started. As these are unpacked and loaded into memory I guess there should be no problem
