    DSM 6.1.x Loader

    I had a question about expanding drives. So I have a supermicro board with a LSI SAS9207-8i on it, and it has 8 internal SATA ports. Im running Jun 1.02b, and 6.13 R3. I have had 6 2TB drives connected to it and 1 SSD cache for about a year and one failed, so I figured I'd add 2 more and replace the 3rd one with 3 TB drives. Problem #1 - When I replaced the 2TB with a 3TB drive, it repaired, but didnt expand the set to the larger size. Problem #2 - When I added the 2 drives, they appear as eSATA disks. If i do a quick dmesg it shows all 8 drives as SCSI drives as 0-7 (example: scsi 6:0:7:0: qdepth(32), tagged(1), simple(0), ordered(0), scsi_level(7), cmd_que(1)) There are 4 USB3 ports and 2 controllers in the system (on board has 6, LSI has 8). I changed the synoinfo.conf to esataportcfg="0x0000", usbportcfg="0x0400", internalportcfg="0x00FF" I was running my grub.cfg with SataPortMap=81 (which recognizes 6 drives and 1 ssd) and changed it to SataPortMap=86 Now the SSD cant be put into the cache SSD, and it wont add to raid as it sees the 2 new drives as esata disks. The drives on the HDD/SSD show as Disk 1 for SSD, then Disk 7-12 for the LSI controller. I've increased it to 16 just to see if it would do better, but no gold. Any thoughts on what else I can do? Thx!

    Hey Boom, Note that the SSD only really kicks in for small files, but I'm using a Samsung 850 Pro 512GB for the SSD Cache. The drives themselves are all spindle but on that board, its running full 8 lanes (even though the slot can do 16x). So figure that the card can easily do a large transfer rate north of 10 gigabit pretty easily with that number of drives which can max out the 10 Gb Ethernet easily. Full Parts list here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015FWP4B2 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IAELTAI https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SD9IORQ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BIWLFGQ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085FT2JC Tossed an unltraquiet 60cm fan on the heatsink just so it stays under 50c. Drives: https://www.amazon.com/HITACHI-0F12470- ... B00SQ65ZCI Which bench out at 160-180 x 8 drives = 1200MB/sec - 1440MB/sec and on 5.2 it benched this hardware at 10Gb network max. wow 850-950mbs ? What SSD are you using - i had an Samsung 850 SSD in mine 5.2 and maxed out at 245Mbs - now running Synology DS916+II with 2 Samsung 850 SSD running Raid 0 and peeking at 310 when start transf, a 8GB file from a folder to another and gets down to 145Mbs .. I would love to hear more about your config - I'am running the Raid0 on btrfs as volume 1 - Had hoped to get much more speed with 2 ssd raid0, but still around 150-145Mbs

    DSM 6.1.x Loader

    Wrote a few days ago (pg 225) about running 3617x version of 1.02a and the drive issues. Moving over to 3615 and 6.1 (DSM_DS3615xs_15047.pat) worked great. That said... 5.2 was quite a bit faster on file transfers, and I added a SSD to the mix just to see if it made any difference on 6.1 (knowing for large file transfers it wouldnt). on 5.2 I was able to consistently max out the 10GB line at 850-950+ MB/sec. on 6.1 I get spikes up to about 500, but it nosedives down to 100-150, then perks up to about 200, but not much better So i'm a bit bummed there because i like 6.x series as my real Syno runs it (yep supported the company as well). For reference I'm using a LSI9211-8 on a Supermicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F-O Xeon D-1521 board. My question is this... Does anyone think that with the new 6.1 drop, that any of the new compiles will make any tangible difference? Also, anyone know if M.2 SSD might be supported? would be amazing for cache at the 10GB speeds since single SSD is going to max out at 500.

    DSM 6.1.x Loader

    First, great work on the loader. I was waiting for nick to get his together, but that seems to be on the elongated release schedule. I've been able to get it running using the 3617 version on my Supermicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F-O Xeon D-1521 board and a LSI 9211-8i controller. All hardware seems to be running happily. The big issue is that it runs, and i've been able to transfer data to it on the 10G line (which seems to run slower than the 5.x version tbh). But sometimes the service just dies, and i'm met with the "Sorry, the page you are looking for is not found." after it was working fine. I SSH in, and the volume is still there, its just like the service died for the web. And if I reboot, it just gives that to me going forward and my /volume1 only has @database in it.. no more files. before the reboot, the controller shows the raid is fine, and i ran the scrubbing, and it was fine. SSH still works. The only way I've been able to recover it is to pull the drives out, reboot the nas, put them back in after it boots up, then reinstall 6.1, and the volume is there with all the data. I have seen that it complains about the old reported issues 'we've detected errors on disks 3,4,5 etc. like Hostillan mentioned in his post (i'll try to work that around some). I'm pretty sure I dont have the satahostmap right. I'm using a SSD on the Intel board (6 ports), then drives 7,8,9,10,11,12 on the LSI bnoard (8 ports). and booting from USB 3.0, which works every time. my grub.cfg: set extra_args_3617='' set common_args_3617='syno_hdd_powerup_seq=0 HddHotplug=0 syno_hw_version=DS3617xs vender_format_version=2 console=ttyS0,115200n8 withefi elevator=elevator quiet' set sata_args='sata_uid=1 sata_pcislot=5 synoboot_satadom=1 DiskIdxMap=0C SataPortMap=1 SasIdxMap=0' Any help is appreciated because i'd love to run the new hardware on my 10G ether as my 415+ only has 1G and I do a lot of VM work and wanted to use this as my iSCSI drive. I know when it works, using 5.x, i was getting 800-1000 MB/sec transfer rates reliably. Thanks!
