CRS326-24G-2S+ is a dual OS switch, equipped with 16Mb of storage. This makes the storage fill up quickly, especially when upgrading RouterOS from version 6 to 7.7. After several months of experiencing a lack of storage and not being able to upgrade or downgrade, this week I finally got a backup switch for the CRS326.
Today I prepared the console cable for the CRS326 downgrade process with NetInstall from version 7.7 to the factory firmware version. But I'm curious...
After doing "Reset Configuration" several times and always fail, I tried hard-resetting the CRS326. 2 times. Finally I got free configuration of CRS326 with 1200Kb of free storage. Okay, seem like there is still a hope avoiding NetInstall. Instead of downgrading the CRS326, I went ahead and upgraded it to version 12.1 (+firmware upgrade), then to version 14.1 (+firmware upgrade). In the last version I have got around 2000kb of free storage.
The last thing I did was uninstalling the Wireless package. Bump. I've got 3500kb of free storage
Happy CRS with lot of free storage![:lol:]( "Laughing")
Hope this help someone.
