And, yet again, I have to tell you that ClamAV does not re-enable "Realtime Protection" after the update.
ClamAV is the only app I have running on this particular machine (f5-221) so I cannot tell what else may be "broken" as yet.

ALSO:
Can you advise if this version is a suitable update for .688Beta? Does it include the 'Beta' functions (it only mentions adding Ip6table) or will that follow some time in the future. Your version numbering leaves a lot to be desired imo.

updated to 6.0.694 no problem, out of interest is there any way the nas drive could email when there is an update? i only knew because i randomly checked the forum (the nas drive knew there was an update, but again you only get to know about it when you log in to the web desktop)

since the nas drives just work then theres no actual need to login to them, i think i mentioned before the buffalo nas drives actually flash a light on the front also when theres a notification as a prompt to go and check can something be done?

ok i lied, following the upgrade, my backup USB drive now seems to identify itself as SDC_1, presumably because the upgrade didnt release it and it detected it as a new USB?, my TFM tasks are obviously set to SDB_1 so now they fail as it cant find it.

i managed to get it back to identify as SDB_1 by turning off the USB drive and turning it back on (leaving the nas drive alone) so it redetected it, but if i hadnt have noticed this then backups would have failed

Hello, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused!

This issue occurs because the name of the USB drive changes dynamically based on the order in which it is plugged in. As a result, the backup source/destination folder paths become invalid, causing the task to fail. We have reported this issue to the TFM product team and will push for a fix as soon as possible.

As a suggestion for USB drive backups, we recommend using the USBcopy application. It identifies USB devices based on their unique ID, so even if the drive name changes, the backup tasks can still run normally, effectively avoiding path issues caused by name changes.

Hello, everyone. I have an F5-221 model. Currently, it’s running TOS 5.1.67 with BIOS version MAPL0304V22. Up until now, I’ve hesitated to update the system to TOS 6.0. The control panel indicates that the latest version is already installed, but given the potential limitations for the F5-221 mentioned in other threads—even though MAPL0304V22 doesn’t seem to have hardware restrictions—I still didn’t risk upgrading.

Now, however, I’m thinking it might finally be time to update. But I’m really concerned about ending up with a bricked device if something goes wrong (especially since, as I understand it, the entire previous root filesystem is wiped—I’d hate for it to be erased only for the new system to fail due to hardware limitations).

So, my question for the experts is: How safe is it to upgrade to TOS 6 with my current hardware? And are there any recovery methods in case the update doesn’t go as planned?

Hi, please follow our update guide carefully.
viewtopic.php?t=6809
If you are really worried, you can back up system configuration first then continue.

Hello,

All seems good for me.
The only issue I noticed for the moment is that custom SMTP credentials for notifications has been cleared.

I have been trying to download the update for the past 3 hours,and it gets stuck at 6%. Have rebooted the router, but same problem. Internet connections is fine 1GB fibre. Currently on 6.0.688.

Edit - it appears that the download keeps resetting, it is now at 2%.

Edit Edit - It eventually downloaded and updated overnight - took about 7 hours based on the emailed update notice. Seems to be working okay.
