__TOC__

== Overview ==
The following process upgrades an existing installation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian Debian] 5.0 on a [[:Category:LS-WSGL/R1|Buffalo Linkstation Mini]] (model LS-WSxxxxGL/R1) to Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) with the Debian [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel Linux] kernel (version 2.6.32-31).
'''No disassembly required.'''
Here is how the process works:
# Update package sources
# Upgrade distribution
# Install new kernel
# Restart device

== Requirements ==
# Buffalo LinkStation Mini models LS-WSxxxxGL/R1 running Debian 5.0 ('''LS-WSXxxxxTL/R1 models will not work''')
#* This process was tested with model LS-WS1.0TGL/R1, but other models may work as well

== Instructions ==
<b>
Note: Do not attempt to execute the following commands as a single script.
Instead, copy and paste each block of commands into a shell window and monitor the resulting output for errors
</b>

{{Warning|<b>These instructions might not work depending on how you have configured your Debian installation.
Many problems may occur including failure to start the network interface (rendering the device unreachable).
You may need to disassemble the device and mount the hard drives in another computer to correct any problems that occur.
Proceed at your own risk.</b>}}

<ol>
<li> Assign IP Address of device to environment variable
<pre>
IP_ADDRESS=192.168.1.77

</pre>
</li>

<li> Use SSH to login as root
<pre>
ssh root@${IP_ADDRESS}

</pre>
</li>

<li> Change package source to Debian 6 repository (replace lenny with squeeze in /etc/apt/sources.list)
<pre>
SED_FILE='/etc/apt/sources.list'
SED_SEARCH='(\s)(lenny)(\s|/)'
SED_REPLACE='\1squeeze\3'
sed -r "s~${SED_SEARCH}~${SED_REPLACE}~" -i "${SED_FILE}"

</pre>
</li>

<li> Update package lists (from Debian 6.0 repository)
<pre>
apt-get update

</pre>
</li>

<li> Install screen package (to recover from possible disconnect during upgrade)
<pre>
apt-get -q -y install screen

</pre>
</li>

<li> Start screen application (if you are disconnected during upgrade, then login again and run "screen -Dr" to resume your session)
<pre>
echo -e "\n" | screen

</pre>
</li>

<li> Install packages to support upgrade process
<pre>
apt-get -q -y install apt aptitude dpkg

</pre>
</li>

<li> Upgrade to Debian 6 (when prompted with questions, choose default answers)
<pre>
apt-get -q -y dist-upgrade

</pre>
</li>

<li> Workaround bug in Debian 6 (/etc/network/run links to /dev/shm/network, but directory is missing, which prevents network interfaces from starting)
<pre>
mv /etc/network/run run.original
mkdir /etc/network/run
touch /etc/network/run/ifstate

</pre>
</li>

<li> Install custom kernel (Debian 6.0 kernel 2.6.32-31)
<pre>
cd /
wget http://downloads.buffalo.nas-central.org/Users/rpinchbeck/lsmini/debian/6.0/kernel-2.6.32-31-debian-lsmini.tar.gz
tar --extract --verbose --same-permissions --gzip --file kernel-2.6.32-31-debian-lsmini.tar.gz

</pre>
</li>

<li> Wait for RAID synchronization to complete
<pre>
while egrep -iq '(recovery)|(resync)' /proc/mdstat; do
clear
cat /proc/mdstat
sleep 5
done
clear
cat /proc/mdstat
sync

</pre>
</li>

<li> Restart device
<pre>
sync; reboot; logout

</pre>
</li>

</ol>
