Just as an FYI, I did try installing OSv4 and my Snap Server 2000 is now dead.
I installed with the Assist software. It finished the first upgrade file, then it reported that the upgrade was complete, but there was a problem. It can not reconnect to the server.
Looking at the server, I saw that both the power light and the link light were on solid, and the Disk light flashing very quickly.
When trying to reconnect to the drive, I saw the Net light flash, but it failed to connect. Assist also failed to find the server. I rebooted the drive. I noticed when I turned the power off, the server turned off straight away (normally, it went through some shutdown process). After the reboot, same situation occured, ie solid power and link light and rapid flashing of the drive light. Watching the server, I noticed that the drive light would turn off after while, then it would start the rapid flashing again. Leaving the server running for a while, I saw that it rebooted it's self. The server then returned to the same state.
All I can recommend to those who were thinking of upgrading:
DON"T UPGRADE TO SNAP OS v4
