Hello, when upgrading version 9.2.0.1 (972) using the Firmware Tab under the System heading; I can locate my image file "NAS4Free-x64-embedded-9.3.0.2.1349.img" and the image begins to upload to my NAS server as expected.
However, around 30% into the download, I get a new web page with the message "Entity too large" on it, and the upload aborts.
I am pretty sure the I have plenty of spare ram, but I think that the system SATA flash disk may be too small - it is designated ada0 and is only 512MB.
Is this the problem?
If so - is there any way of avoiding having to change the disk if I want to do upgrades by the firmware method in the future?
Regards,
Jimgi

You cannot upgrade to .1349 from a version below 9.3.0.2.1310
See viewtopic.php?f=78&t=8340
Save your config, use the live usb or live CD version to install the embedded version on a usb stick, at least 4GB capacity, and then restore config.

Re: Entity too large error - system drive too small?
Doh, I saw this at one time, but assumed that wasn't my problem.
Thanks for that! I appreciate the quick response.
Will I be able to revert to the Firmware method for future upgrades after doing this?
