[Software Description] This software will update the TS6000 series TeraStations’ firmware to version 5.18. If your unit’s firmware is already version 5.18 or later, you don’t need this update. [How to Verify the Firmware Version] Select your TeraStation from NAS Navigator2. The firmware version is displayed on the bottom right corner of the window. [Updating Firmware] • Do not turn off the TeraStation until the firmware update is completed and the “Finished” message appears. • Disconnect iSCSI volumes using the iSCSI initiator before updating the firmware. [Notes] • Make sure the TeraStation’s MTU size is set to a value smaller than that of the hub or router. Larger MTU sizes may not allow data to be transferred to the TeraStation properly. • This firmware will send your usage information to Buffalo automatically. The usage information may include your TeraStation series name, firmware version, some settings such as the number of shared folders, some drive information such as S.M.A.R.T., and usage environment such as the number of client PCs. None of the collected information contains your personal data such as usernames and passwords. Buffalo will only use the collected information to improve future firmware updates and no other purposes. To disable this function, open Settings after updating the firmware to this version, then navigate to “Management” > “Update” > “Edit” and disable “Update Notification”. For more detailed information, refer to the user manual of your TeraStation model. • If settings are initialized with an iSCSI volume that had been created using an LVM-enabled drive or array, that iSCSI volume mode may be displayed as “NAS”, instead of “iSCSI” on the NAS volume list. Even if in such a case, the iSCSI volume remains accessible via the iSCSI initiator. [For Customers Using Replication] To securely copy your data via replication, a backup device access key must be configured for the replication target. Please make sure you have installed the latest firmware downloaded from the Buffalo website onto your TeraStation and verify that a backup device access key has been configured on the replication target folder for any configured replication jobs. Refer to the “Replication” section in the user manual of your TeraStation model for the procedure to configure a backup device access key to the replication target folder. If you are replicating devices over different subnets or through NAT abstraction, using a VPN is recommended for network security. [How to Update the Firmware] 1. Extract the downloaded installer file. 2. Execute “update”, then refer to the on-screen instructions. [Release Notes] Version 5.18 [2020-08-04] Added and Modified Features [Microsoft OneDrive Sync] • Modified so that the “pathIsTooLog” error is now recorded in the OneDrive error log when a file path length exceeds the character limit.

[Workgroup/Domain] • Modified so that a workgroup name can now contain up to 15 alphanumeric characters. • Modified so that a workgroup name can no longer contain only numbers. [Antivirus] • Modified to display the window for the Software License Agreement for Trend Micro NAS Security. • Updated the server certification for Trend Micro NAS Security. Bug Fixes [Backup] • Fixed a bug where a snapshot backup job fails if multiple backup jobs are run at the same time. • Fixed a bug where only half of the configured number of versions remains when snapshot auto archive is set to be based on versions in the backup destination folder. • Fixed a bug where the “Restore previous versions” option doesn’t work if there are 73 users or more. • Fixed a bug where restoring from snapshot fails if files stored in a shared folder are drastically different since snapshots were taken. • Fixed a bug where the “Restore previous versions” option doesn’t work if the TeraStation joins an Active Directory domain. [Microsoft OneDrive Sync] • Fixed a bug where a sync process doesn’t proceed if too many files are stored in OneDrive. • Fixed a bug where the TeraStation becomes unstable if too many files are synchronized at once. • Fixed a bug where the download process fails if 100,000 or more files are downloaded at once. • Fixed a bug where the sync process doesn’t proceed if OneDrive information is not acquired properly. • Fixed a bug where synchronization fails if there are no parent folders. • Fixed a bug where the modified date and time is updated when the file is uploaded while encryption is enabled. • Fixed a bug where if the same files on both OneDrive and the TeraStation are updated at the same time while the sync direction is set to bidirectional, files in OneDrive are overwritten with the files on the TeraStation regardless of the date updated. [Remote Management Service] • Fixed a bug where the TeraStation doesn’t wake up if the remote operations timer is set to run when the TeraStation enters into standby mode. [Storage] • Fixed a bug where some settings don’t appear properly if the TeraStation restarts while a Btrfs-formatted USB drive is connected. • Fixed a bug where a USB drive is not recognized after initialization finishes if the TeraStation restarts while a USB drive is connected. • Fixed a bug where if a USB drive is being dismounted while another USB drive is connected, the dismounting process doesn’t finish properly. [System] • Fixed a bug where if certain errors occur, and the TeraStation is set to shut down automatically when they do, the error message does not display properly on the LCD panel. • Fixed a bug where the TeraStation can be shut down while creating a RAID array. [Configuration Migration] • Fixed a bug where a USB drive becomes read-only if it is connected to a USB port that is used for creating a USB initialization drive.
