  1. Well, it's back up and running. It was a little painful, but not too bad. Thought I'd share about it here in case it helps someone else. I followed this excellent guide to do an update on my current setup. The tutorial was excellent. I decided to replace the USB key I was using to a different one, so I burned the boot image onto it, and started things up. Once I got it up and running (after a few hiccups), I found the Synology using the assistant. It said that my configuration files were gone, and I had to reinstall. Using the .pat file I was able to do so and got the Synology back and functional. While all of my files were still there (big sigh of relief), all the configuration (downloaded packages, settings, etc.) were gone. My guess is they got corrupted, and that's why my Synology died in the first place. So I have to re-download all the packages I had (not a huge deal) and redo some of the settings. So far, the Plex package retained all its settings, which was fantastic Remains to be seen how the others will do. Hopefully it will be fairly painless. I'm also planning to build a second Xpenology box to act as a backup server, in the event this ever happens again. Thanks to Polanskiman for the excellent tutorial, and to Jun and the other devs who made this release possible. Very happy to have my server back, and I look forward to trying new features out.
  2. Well, just tried idea #1 from above. Used Notepad++ to try opening up every file on the USB stick Xpenology uses to boot--all but one were filled with gobbledy-gook. syslinux.cfg had the menu options from when you first start up the Xpenology, and nothing else. So apparently the files storing the assigned IP address for my Xpenology server are not on the USB stick. Guess I'll have to pull the main drive and see if I can find something there. Disappointed no one else has responded to this thread--anyone's kindness in sharing their wisdom to a guy just learning Linux would be great. I sure miss my server
  3. No responses, so I've been thinking about how to tackle this one myself. Possible fix ideas: 1. Unplug USB drive that Xpenoboot boots from, plug it into my Windows desktop. Use Notepad++ see if there is a config file I can edit, then look for a section that controls the assigned IP address--see if I can edit that to the correct IP so it can connect to the network again. Would that work? 2. Use the guide located here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22100 Hope that migrating to 6.0 replaces/updates the config file that has lost IP connection info. I'd really prefer to avoid upgrading to 6.0 right now. My Xpenology was working great, and I have a lot of things running on it. An update like this would introduce a lot of variables that could break other functionality. Anyone have suggestions as to one or the other idea? I'd be happy with another option as well. Thanks!
  4. Ran into this problem yesterday--Plex not working, so I went to reboot Xpenology---nothing. After viewing the bootup info on the nas, eth0 not working! Not pulling an IP address. As with tcn33 above, my usb keyboard is recognized at the "install/upgrade" screen, but not at the "diskstation login" prompt (tried two different keyboards). I checked, and my Xpenology PC has NO PS/2 ports! Don't know what to do--any thoughts anyone? UPDATE: Tried checking if Xpenology had pulled an address on the router--not there. Am I going to have to reinstall Xpenology on the USB boot stick?
