  1. Question though can this xpenoboot loader be placed on one of the actual syno drives so I don't even need to have a usb stick and have it autoboot off one of the drives??

    Thanks.

    I have asked this question myself! The answer is no. It needs the usb to trick the software "DSM" to think that is a real synology box.

     

    DSM is loaded on a synology Device with USB flash drive, soldered on the motherboard, the operation system and all applications located are in special slice of the hard disk drives (on each) this method allows to increase the service life of the boot flash and increase productivity

     

    Extra: I have tested installing a new image on a new usb, everything boots fine no data loss. I also run my box on SHR1, I have removed and hd and booted no data loss, system alert me degraded to insert a hard drive. Even more I wiped the hd and re insert it the array rebuild with no problems.

  2. So currently I boot my my bare metal system thry XP USB Image.

    The question I have is, does XPEnoboot boots without usb? and if it does how can i upgrade from XPENOLOGY to EPnoboot would my Hard drive pool get messed up? I currently have 5 drives in a pool on volume 1, when i installed the .pat i installed it on a separate hard drive assuming it installs on the hard drive that it was plugged in when installation occured.

    So basicaly my pool is separate from the DMS installation.
