I recenlty tried to update my DSM 6.1.1-15101 from pacth 3 to 4. For some unknown reasons, the update never ends which results in various “issues”. The only solution I found to exit that situation was to kill the upgrade process.

Once the update started, the progress eventually appeared stuck…
After 2 hours, I decided to open the admin interface (http://<MySyno>:<adminPort>) and was able to log in. But back into the Control Panel, I saw the message “DSM updating is in process…”…
It would not have been a big issue if it didn’t prevent me to update any packages. Trying to do so was resulting in a popup blocking any automatique on manual installation/update. I was also unable to restart or shutdown properly the NAS for the same reason.
To solve this situation I had to kill the upgrade process:
- Open a SSH console using Putty to connect onto the NAS
- Login as administrator
- Enter the root mode using the command: sudo -i
- Kill the update processes typing the command: kill -9 $(ps aux | grep -e SYNO.Core.Ugrade |grep -v grep | awk ‘{ print $2 }’)
I was next able to update other packages… I did next restart the NAS but for some reasons, it never rebooted completed (neither detected by the Synology Assistant nor accessible via the Admin webUI). I had therefore to do a hard reboot 🙁
Now, although I am still unable to reboot properly or upgrade DSM, I can at least install (or update) packages, possibly to help me in backuping everything before a complete reset.
NB.: I also tried to upgrade from SSH, without success.
Using the feature auto, I got an error message:
