Hi zoon01

I downloaded the version NAS4Free-x64-Live USB-10.2.0.2.2407.iso
I tried to run the update usb key embended and is now the system boots.
However, does not restore the configuration original.
I have to perform recovery from previous version NAS4Free-x64-LiveUSB-10.2.0.2.2332.iso ???
Thank you

No problem there.. Just restore your config to the new installation

No problem there.. Just restore your config to the new installation

there is a problem!!!!!
I haven't a backup of config...
Before to execute update i replicate my usb so i can probe many time
There is a metod to mount, after start width a live boot, my usb key to manually restore my configuration

Please help me

thanks

Boot with the replicated usb, got to System|Backup/Restore, download the config, then boot with the new installation, restore the config, done.

[tresrob]

Excuse me for my bad english
Replicate i intended that i use image writer to another usb key
so replicate usb key and original always stop boot on boot / defaults / loader.conf

at last option, do not upgrade, do a fresh install and import your disk (clear config & import disk) and import your pool, once done your data are in your new system, you only need to recreate shares and enable services.

[ChriZathens]

And after doing so, make sure to backup your config.

Hello

I'm very happy
Thanks to raulfg3 I resolved and recovered all the data.
Many many many thanks

PS ok ChriZathens next time next time I will make config backup

I am not sure that I have a Problem similar to yours.
For the last 2 or 3 Upgrades I had severe boot-Problems after the upgrade.
It is always the same:
- I initiate the upgrade process form the GUI
- After reboot it halts with some message "boot halted".
- I can ping the System
- I cannot ssh
- I cannot use GUI
- Therefore no restore of the config.xml possible

Solution always was a clean install from a ubs-stick ( I have no CD) and then restore

To avoid this time-consuming Problem for the next upgrade: What can I do ?

[raulfg3]

you need not to load previosly saved config (do not restore your previosly saved config.xml).

You need to configure by hand.

something in your old config file do not liketo the boot process, once done, next upgrades must work.

[drnicolas]

That is near to impossible!
There are dozens of Settings developed over the years!

Of course I am doing minor changes nearly every few days. but it seems that fresh changes do not cure the error in the underlying config.xml

Otherwise after clean install I can load/restore the suspicoius config.xml and then it works - no further Problems with reboots.

Can one check the config.xml ?
