The below instructions works for me by following the first step of reinstalling rootfs and then did an update as below. However the instruction says to follow step 7 and 8 again which I didn't really do. I just deleted what was there and then copy the tar extract files over onto the usb drive again and them copied the mac_addr file over. I was able to ssh in and did an update again. I am running into trouble where the mirror for samba installation seems to be down but probably unrelated to this. thanks for the info and posts....
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'H')as everyone simply tried running Syu until it stops asking, but ensuring that both udev-oxnas and openssl are installed?
Perhaps:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
pacman -Syu (no to pacman first)
pacman -Syu
pacman Sf udev-oxnas openssl
')
