I used this script to change partition layout on my TS-421 but now I decided to sell it so I'd like to install QTS on it. I was able to do that using recovery via tftp and it went fine. However updating to newer firmware fails and I believe this is due to changed partition layout. So the question is how to revert it safely?

I have backup of mdt files before I run your script.

Hello.

Sorry, didn't get time to look at your question before this week-end. I just updated the documentation to add a section concerning the recovery.

https://github.com/amouiche/qnap_mtd_resize_for_bullseye/blob/master/Recovery.md

Please, can you see if you have sufficient details for your purpose ?

Regards, Arnaud

Nice work!

Note, the document linked above seems incomplete. The last phrase seems incomplete, please check.

@amouiche thank a lot! Yes it was enough for me. In fact that was much more than I expected. Hopefully it will be useful for others.
