I bought a "new" 40 gig IDE drive, ran the official Western Digital tester on it and it came back 100% good. I used Darrik's Boot N Nuke to scrub the drive clean and it finished with no errors. I installed that latest version of V6, set to boot in 32 bit mode, activated online, and NOTHING has CHANGED. In fact, that was the first bit of hardware to change in probably five years now. I can change NTP settings, time zone, and I can see automatic updates of the configuration is being saved, even after yet another complete new install. My SW RAID remains in good condition using four SATA drives. Every setting on the "Settings" page always reverts back to nothing/default when I click apply. Configure FTP, click apply, it comes back with all empty fields. The SAMBA settings are locked down to external LDAP, and when I set it to internal and set the DN, etc, click apply, and it comes back with blank fields. In the status page it continues to show SMB "Failed". I can generate a log file but its encrypted or something, can't read it. <losing hair fast on this one!>
