By default, DSM 7 will try to REPAIR your plex package when it installs.
This is what makes the huge mess.
The way to manage this is:
- Uninstall the DSM 6 package first – while still using DSM 6.
- Now let DSM 7 install and update itself freely
- After everything is upgraded and stable, we can address migrating your DSM 6 server (in it’s entirety) to DSM 7.
