My current system version is 2.254. When I check for updates I get:
Update v2.279
IMPORTANT: If you are updating from a version newer than 2.201, a factory reset is strongly suggested before updating to this version. This is an intermediate update version, once update has been finished update again to 2.309.
So it’s recommended to Factory Reset; which will wipe all of my user data, i.e. WiFi, NAS and database settings? This is really not an update then, it’s a complete re-install?
Anyway, maybe I am wrong and all user settings can be saved prior to factory reset and then restored via rsync to the boot volume?
Thanks
Cheers
PS
I checked the documentation on this. Maybe I missed something?
Hi, this is because we made an important overhaul to the updater, and therefore to be 100% sure to update, you’re advised to factory reset to a version we’ve tested extensively.
I know it sucks, but its the best way we could handle this situation (and it happens only once).
Nothing prevents you from just updating, as it might work.
Or you might need to reinstall in the worst case scenario
Well, improvements to the updater are all great; but seriously there’s no way to backup the settings to restore after the update? Or did file formats or types changed with the new version?
I decided to conduct a factory reset with Volumio on my allo digione. Was suggested to me when I couldn’t even get AirPlay to recognize my device anymore. Waiting and waiting, but my browser cannot even find the device. Should I restart everything? Reconnect the Ethernet cable? What are the best steps to take without getting into program language (I’m not program savvy)…
