While software upgrades on my B3 always have been smooth my B2 is stuck on version 2.0.2.
I have tried to upgrade using web-if from time to time since 2.4.x was available but the upgrade
gets stuck on 40%. No system modifications done (except maybe installing HDD TEMP some years ago - my memory is not quite clear)
So, how can I upgrade the B2 to latest software release?

Tip is appreciated...

You can only upgrade to 2.4 by doing a fresh install. You can modify the installer so you don't lose your /home partition an you should be able to backup the system settings from the web interface and restore them again.

Thanks RandomUsername!

Before I proceed with a fresh install according to your proposal I have one related question:

In the previously mentioned process to renew my very old B2 I cloned the 1TB drive to a fresh 2TB (with Clonezilla).
This was successful except for one point, the B2 is only acknowledging 1TB.
(I suppose this is due to my failure to properly expand one of the partitions to the expanded rest of the drive - It is sadly but surely +15 years since I know what I was doing with a Unix machine. )

So please confirm that a fresh install will detect the full 2TB of the new disk...
... or do I need to take any special care according to your wisdom to accomplish that?

Thank again!
BR,

Further one complimentary question; Where do I find the image for the USB memory to run fresh
install from?

(I noticed that the installer for 2.4-RC1 does not detect 2TB disks so I suppose there should be an alternative? 2.5?)

BR,
