  1. For VMware ESXi, I've been using "Other Linux x64" without issues. Would love to hear if there's a better one to pick. The only order that matters is that you configure VMware to boot from the loader SATA drive.
  2. I see. I do use RAID6 on my production server which is still on DSM 6.2. I'm only experimenting with DSM 7 on a separate box with a single disk at the moment. I'll have to add more disks for further testing. So yea, I see your point for those that wants to use HBA and iGPU on bare-metal installations is problematic. @cabldevil Is running separate virtual machines not an option for you? I assume you need transcoding for Plex right? This is how I run mine
  3. So personally, I run DSM in a separate VM than Plex VM I passthrough the HBA to the DSM VM. I passthrough the GPU to the Plex VM (Ubuntu) This actually affords me more flexibility as I can use a suitable Synology model such as DS3622xs for just storage, and I can use Nvidia GPU for transcoding. I've also gotten iGPU for transcoding working this way as well by passing the iGPU into the Plex VM.
  4. There is a workaround to that problem if you're comfortable SSH into the machine. Run smartctl -i /dev/sdX and it'll show you the real serial
  5. Ahh, I see what you mean. Yes mine does show up as sdx
  6. I've no issues getting my HBA working with DS918+ with the following Host type: Bare-metal HBA: DELL Perc H310 cross-flashed to LSI 9211-8i with IT firmware 20.00.07.00 Drive Connection: HBA connected to SATA drive via breakout cable Redpill Loader: arpl v0.4-alpha9 DSM: 7.1.1-42962 Update 1 With the above setup, I was able to get my HBA working with DS918+, DS3617xs, and DS3622xs
  7. No need. I re-sized the 3rd partition of the img to be just a little bit smaller and got it to fit on a 1GB USB stick. What would make the most sense is for the 3rd partition of the img to be as small as possible and resize to fit the USB stick on first boot. This is merely a suggestion.
  8. Yea, I'm guessing it's a diff between how drive makers consider 1GB (1000^3) vs binary 1GiB (1024^3). It'd be even better if the image could be as small as possible, and then do the expansion(resize) upon first boot.
  9. @fbelavenuto. I'm running bare-metal with v0.4-alpha6 and it is not working with LSI 9211 HBA using DS3615, DS3617, or DS3622. It works with TinyCore-Redpill just fine, which loads mpt2sas. Any chance this can be supported?
  10. Hi @pocopico Could you make the image a tad smaller? I have a 1000MB USB stick and your 1GB image doesn't fit it. Thanks.
  11. If you use tinycore-redpill. Boot as IDE, then after you finish building the bootloader via ./rploader.sh build ... then, you can switch back to SATA. Then for SATA to work, here's how I got it working: Use SATA DOM boot arg For this to work, you must choose a model that supports SATA DOM, such as DS3615xs. All you have to do is add the following boot arg: synoboot_satadom=1 You don't even need VID or PID.
  12. No problem. Glad it worked. You'll have to run this after every reboot though. Or you can put it in some startup script.
  13. Try this and see if it works. sudo find /sys/devices/ -type f -name locate -exec sh -c 'echo 0 > "$1"' -- {} \;
  14. It's because your enumeration of your disks are not contiguous. Notice that /dev/sde and /dev/sdf is missing in your list When you set internalportcfg to 0xfff, this means you're assigning /dev/sda - /dev/sdl as disks 1-12. Because you have a gap in your enumeration (missing /dev/sde and /devsdf) it pushes the remaining 8 disks from /dev/sdg - /dev/sdn. Since /dev/sdm and /dev/sdn falls outside of /dev/sda - /dev/sdl, two disks won't show up. Easiest way to solve your problem is to simply increase the number of enumerated slots maxdisks=16 internalportcfg=0xffff usbportcfg=0x1f0000 esataportcfg=0x0 With this config, you're allocating disk 1-16 (/dev/sda - /dev/sdp) for internal use.
