I have a Pogoplug 2 running a much older version of ALARM. I use it as an SFTP server, Samba server and DLNA server for my media collection. It has been running quite well for more than 5 years.
I stopped updating it in 2013 when Samba 4 came out since it broke the SMB shares for me. Now I think it's time bring it up to date.
Today I did a "pacman -Syu" and found LOTS of stuff to upgrade but the upgrade failed because of file conflicts with /bin, /sbin, and /usr/sbin.
So the question is do I try to find all of the conflicts in these frequently used directories, do a fresh installation from scratch or just leave it alone since it works fine?
I would appreciate your thoughts.
TIA
Tom
