Yes please - I desperately need to upgrade my snap os from its present version
Model 4000 series
Software 3.4.803 (UK)
Hardware 2.0.1
BIOS 2.0.282
My understanding is that any OS above 3.4.803 might support drives over 120 gb limit, and I would like to use four 160 gb drives in there and use them to full capacity.
I should hope SnapOS 4 or the new GuardianOS might also solve these problems?
I have successfully upgraded my snap 4000 with a single Samsung 160 gb Spinpoint drive (SP1604N) bought from Aldi @ a little over 60 gbp yesterday. Since the OS resides in the server itself, the snap simply went ahead and formatted it without problems automatically in about 10 minutes or so (unlike the Snap 1000 I once upgraded, which had the OS on disk and needed disk duplication with dolly disk copy before the upgrade worked). However, it only formats to 128 gb without making full use of the drive's full 160 gb capacity.
BTW After an attempt at repair the snap 4000, it came back with all the original drives set to master, so the system did not boot up properly and the RAID got totaly confused. You have to be careful with the jumper positions as the service manual states that the original drives it comes with may have different product codes:
70700042-002 on Quantum label
drive 10008 (top left set to slave)
drive 10000 (bottom left set to master)
drive 10018 (top right set to slave)
drive 10010 (bottom right set to master)
70700042-003 or higher on Quantum label
drive 10008 (top left set to cable select)
drive 10000 (bottom left set to cable select)
drive 10018 (top right set to cable select)
drive 10010 (bottom right set to cable select)
