Hi,

 

I am using version 5.0-rc15a.

 

Can someone just confirm that I have this correct?

 

I can do a 'upgrade install'? Is this best? or should I be doing a clean install?

 

Is it advised to use the 6.01 Upgrade Plugin for V5? Will this work with my version?

 

I have these plugins.. Do I need to remove these before upgrading? if so how?

When I upgraded from 5.0 to 6.0 I started from scratch.  I took an image of the drive display making sure I knew which drive was parity.  I also then backed up the flash drive then formated it and setup everything from scratch.  Like you I do still use unMenu but I would use Dockers for any plugin that now has a docker equivalent.  V5 plugins do NOT work with V6 unless they are just a script (awk script for instance) for the most part because V5 is 32bit and V6 is 64bit.

So All I need to do to be safe is....

 

Copy the contents of the USB to a safe place, and take a screen shot of the array? like below?

Yep, and you've already done the screen shot part...

Can I run the new permissions tool when the parity sync is still running?

I don't know the "party line" but if it were me I'd probably wait.  New permissions tool involves quite a lot of disk access as does the parity sync, I can't see either being helped by running simultaneously.

 

Does that mean you've successfully updated then? What do you think of V6?

Shouldn't be necessary unless you know you have gotten some permissions messed up. It was required when going from 4.x to 5 but not for going from 5 to 6. I have never run new perms on 6.
