Seemingly Serious Problem Updating to MS2 v2.0.6 in Melco N1Z/1 [SOLVED!]

[simoncn]

It sounds like everything is OK now. There is no problem with your drives as a result of the forced shutdown. It is advisable to reformat your drives (as recommended by the "old format" message) but not essential. If you are planning to upgrade the machine to EX at some point in the future, there is no need to reformat now because the EX upgrade involves a reformat.

You should delete the core files. They are very old and of no value now.

The minimserver-out.log file shows that MinimServer 2.0.5 was still running after your attempt to update to 2.0.6. I have checked the MinimServer download server access logs and I see from these that something went wrong while the Melco firmware was downloading the 2.0.6 file to your IP address at 01:40:45 GMT and only part of the file was downloaded. The Melco firmware should detect this problem and report it to the user but it seems that the code in the Melco firmware that should handle this situation might not be working correctly. I will set up a test to simulate this problem and I will let you know what happens.
