  1. Hi everyone.

     

    So I've had a bit of a nightmare with my Xpenology and would welcome any advise to get things up and running again.

     

    About 2 weeks ago my DSM wanted to data scrub. I left it going over night and the next day found errors. It transpired the system did an update during the scrub and rebooted itself. Sigh. I repaired the RAID, only it transpired a disk had become unhappy, so I bought a replacement. Whilst trying to track down which one was dead I noticed the SATA card on my windows 10 machine (I run Hyper-V) was using basic drivers, so I updated that and the drive re-appeared. 

    Problem is when the disk reappeared, it screwed up the order of all the disks on my Hyper-V machine, so I had to remove them all, then re-add them. Now, 48 hours later (to the hour), my DSM is still sat at the error message below... re-scanning disks.

     

    I have 22TB of available space (SHR so I have redundancy too) so there's a part of me that believes (hopes) it's just doing a pre OS scan and making sure everything is healthy. But 48 hours seems a long time to be sat at this screen with no signs of any other services. It's not showing up on my router, short of this image I wouldn't think it was doing anything.

     

    Is it safe to turn off and on? Should i turn it off and on? 

     

    Any help would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks

  2. Afternoon all, 

    Anyone have any ideas on how to bring a volume back to life after a crash during drive expansion?

    I'm using 5.2 on Hyper-V. I was adding a new hard drive, it got to about 10% then I lost power to the Hyper-V host. 
    When my machine came back up it said it'd crashed. I didn't panic so much, it started an integrity check that took just over 24 hours. Once it completed it didn't come back to life.
    I took the extra disk out, tried again, nothing.

     

    When I reboot, I get:
    "The system has detected one or more crashed storage spaces. Please check the following expansion units and hard disks are connected properly and functioning normally: [Disk 5, Disk 8, Disk 10, Disk 11].

     

    When I got into Storage Manager I get:
    "Unable to use this volume. The data in the volume may be crashed. Please try to back up the data before removing the volume."

     

    I literally have no idea where to start. When I use my own account to SSH into the box it drops off immediately. I enabled my admin account and can now get into the box via Putty. My folder structure still exits in Volume1/@eaDir, but it literally is just the folder structure.

     

    Any help would be massively appreciated. If there's any log files I need to provide, just say so!

     

    Edit: SUDO apparently isn't installed. 

  3. By the looks of things it seems I'm one of the few (maybe the only one?) that hasn't found Salah troll like at all. Uncouth perhaps, and hasn't figured out how to use edit rather than reply, but not a troll.

     

    This post suggests a method around the QuickConnect kick yes? Surely that's helpful? I use VPN myself so don't know if such a thing has actually happened.

    And even if said person is a Synology employee, wouldn't we want that kind of inside information on the board? To give us a heads up on the direction they're taking?

  4. But to use VPN I fisrt have to create a ddns, wright?

     

    If you have a few pennies available to you, get a new router, one that supports VPN. I uses an ASUS myself, most of the options in there are easy to understand so you can make your network fairly hardy.

     

    As for Syno security, have a look at:

    https://www.synology.com/en-uk/knowledg ... nology_NAS

     

    Even with all that in mind I still wouldn't set your Syno up to face the internet (as in open ports on your firewall and be able to log in from the outside world). A few years back there was a nasty program called SynoLocker that smashed through DSM ransomware style. ( https://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?t=88770 ) It's better not to take the risk and instead connect to your machine via a VPN.

     

    There's this to look at too. It won't do a thorough scan of your network but it'll graze over the top in the same way a none targeted hacker would looking for an easy catch :

  5.  

    You do realize that there's a difference between "tell me all you know about how the loader works, step by step", and StackOverflow, right?

     

    If he had any specific questions, I'd have answered them. Maybe in private, but I'd definitely answer. However he had no specific question, he was all like "tell me everything". I won't be spoon-feeding anyone with information.

     

    No, not really. The best responses on StackOverFlow are the ones that come with an explanation into what each step does.

     

    Perhaps the manner in which the question was asked may have come across rude but remember we all have a common goal on here, to further progress Xpenology.

    The ones that deserve so little of the developers time are the selfish a******* that come on here as just an IP address, download what they need and contribute naff all, not even a thank you.

    Anyone signing up to the forum to comment (short of the spammers!) at the very least recognises the hard work Trantor and co have put into getting this up and running, even if it's just to say "it don't work innit".

     

    But anyway... I certainly don't mean to sound argumentative so apologies if it comes across that way.

  6. All the "missing" bits are already in loaders, so anyone can "find" them and reconfigure scripts to build boot image. :smile: In the next few days I will build one for DS916+ with minimal drivers for my board (MSI N3150I ECO), and with enabled Intel P-State driver.

    Can You write a sort of howto? i think will be usefull :grin:

     

     

    Agreed. There was a guy on here, can't remember his name for the life of me, that spent a lot of time building his own website with tutorials and videos on how to get DSM 5 onto just about any machine you wanted.

    https://cyanlabs.net/tutorials/

     

    Although it's probably going a little far asking for videos, fluent guides with easy to understand steps pave the way for more people to get involved.

  7.  

    It has always been like this. During the 4.x times, even during 5.x, we only had 2-3 devs, and ~200-300 users depending on their work.

    Maybe that's because there is almost no documentation about how to make a bootloader.

    If there are some good docs on how to build an image, maybe more volunteers will show up.

     

     

    Uhm... That's not true.

     

    The current loaders are nothing more than Syno's own boot solution (which you can easily reverse engineer if you buy a syno product and take a look around its inside working), paired with Grub (which has plenty of documentation), and a custom solution to get around their protection (which again, if was documented, Syno would patch in no time).

     

    No offense, but being spoon-fed all the information is not the way to become a developer.

     

    I'd argue otherwise. My job is almost entirely PowerShell based and the only reason I'm any good at it is because of StackOverFlow, Technet and tearing other people's scripts to pieces.

     

    We all have to start somewhere; as a Hyper-V user I, and the many Hyper-V users on site, feel overlooked in our quest to get on DSM 6+. Having some documentation and how to guides to at least get acquainted would make heller difference.

     

    Also, I can't imagine a world where Syno aren't already aware of how their protection isn't broken. If notepad ++ can check changes between documents, you can be sure as s*** Syno have already tore Jun's loader to shreds and found every change down to the last byte. More importantly you'd want them to, so they can build a better and more protected system. Which again means more developers working against the product would make it easier to unlock the next release.

  8. Why there are a lot of messages about DSM into some hypervisor?

    I suppose it's usefull for testing purpose, i don't think it's' a good idea put some nas sofware on top on Hypervisor, but it's' only a my thought and without polemics.

    IMHO i prefer ESXi instead of HyperV

     

     

    I have an all mighty custom built rig with Windows 10 pro on top, Hyper-V and DSM sitting inside.

     

    At it's very basic this allows me to run Kodi from Windows 10 which in turn accesses all media from DSM.

    I also have several VM's making up a domain for work related purposes.

     

    There's no reason why I have DSM at all, I don't really need it since Sab, Sick, PHP can run from Windows. But it's a force of habit and I like it.

  9. Hello guys!

    Now i try to change old engine phpbb 3.0.xx to 3.2.xx

    It's need some time. Forum have really big messages and information.

     

    Also i try to add spamblock service.

     

    Best of luck, there was a moment last week with two pages of SPAM. It was awful.

  10. I was able to get 6.0 running in gen 1 hyper-v but it comes up as 100mbps and the image i use did not allow upgrade. What i am going to try is to do the nic SR-IOV and see if that works in gen 2 hyper-v; will net you now

     

    That's great medric!

     

    I could test, if needed

     

    +1 for testing.

     

    Can you share your findings too? The more people we have we the shared knowledge on how to do this, the better chance we have of getting a Hyper-V img out the door when DSM 6.x or 7x is released.

  11.  

    I would like to try this out on hyperv too, if you could direct me to the files needed it be much appreciated. Also, Does it run gigabit even though it says 100mbps like the older DSM5 loader? How has it been running for you?

     

     

    +1 for trying Hyper-V.

    DSM5 works perfect for me on Hyper-V, even though it initially complained about running at s*** network speeds

  12. Are there any guides on how to inject drivers?

     

    I'm thinking why don't we just copy the ones from Sancombe's 5. img and put them into 6?

     

    It might be a simplistic way of looking at it, but surely it could work?

     

     

     

    Ah sorry, just read the above. We have to wait until Synology release the Kernal then..

  13. I'm sure I saw someone mention in the Jun post about Synology promising to release the source code for version 6 when 6.1 comes out.

     

    I assume with it, we'll finally get some Hyper-V support on version 6? I'm still using 5.2, it works perfectly fine but always worry about security patches and that. My box isn't internet facing but I'm guessing that wouldn't stop anyone who knows what they're doing to get in via another route.

  14. I have looked everywhere on the internet and in my hp gen7 specs, i can't find how to configure the sata option for the N54L with 5 disks installed.

    Is there a risk to test several ? Like 41, 50 or 401 ?

     

     

    http://terfmop.co.uk/blog/2013/07/31/hp ... sata-port/

     

    From the main screen go to ‘Chipset > Southbridge Configuration > SB SATA Configuration’ and make sure your settings are the same as below:

    OnChip SATA Channel = Enabled

    SATA PORTS 4/5 IDE mode = Disabled

    SATA EPS on all PORT = Enabled

    SATA Power on all PORT = Enabled

    Return to the main screen then go to ‘Advanced > IDE Configuration’ and again, make sure your settings are the same as below.

    Embedded SATA Link Rate = 3.0Gbps MAX

     

    The above was taken from viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1316&start=30#p6904

  15. I've read through the last few pages of this thread, at least since the new V1.0 loader has been released.

    I can't see that anyone has created an .iso yet.

     

    I want to test this with Hyper-V & that will only boot from an iso.

    I've tried to create an iso by using ImgBurn to open the .img file then create an iso.

    The VM would not boot.

     

    From the 5.2 iso that was working OK. Copied the VID & PID and SN from the isolinux.cfg file.

    Mounted the img with OSFMount and edited the grub.cfg with correct values.

    Created a new iso with ImgBurn.

    Still will not boot.

     

    Has anyone got a valid iso they can share?

    TIA

     

    There's an ISO here:

    Sadly it won't get you anywhere in Hyper-V yet, the drivers aren't compiled. It just sits there not doing a great deal.

  16. DS3615xs 6.0.2 Jun's Mod V1.01 vhdx

    Please fix Hyper-V operation.

    The LAN driver is not supported.

     

     

    Thanks.

    So if it's a network driver issue, I'm guessing it's because the Hyper-V drivers haven't been injected into the current build?

    I found this site, http://windeploy.co.uk/blog/hyper-v/ext ... 2-drivers/

    I don't know much about drivers windows drivers don't work with linux?

  17. Had a quick google around and can't find a straight answer.

     

    I'm running a Windows 10 machine with Hyper-V on the top.

    The disks are set to offline in Win10 then as direct attached LUN's to my Xpenology VM.

     

    One or more disks keeps disappearing entirely. I've looked around and found it's likely to be as a result of Windows power options, it was set to hibernate a disk after 20 minutes. I've switched this to 0 so it should hopefully keep it in the system, but noticed there's a 20 minute setting in DSM. Can this be left on? Or should it be switched off? I'm running WD Reds so I know they have their own idle settings built in.

     

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Done, it's just staying on this screen. From a few posts back I've read that adding an serial port can fix this in ESXi, but no luck in Hyper-V.

     

    Anyone suggestions?

     

    Edit: Generation 2 version of the VM in Hyper-V will leave me with the error "error: terminal 'serial' isn't found." Adding an SERIAL port in Generation 2 is not possible by default.

     

    Not true.. You have to use Powershell.. Look up the Get-VM and Get-VMComPort / Set-VMComPort for more options.

    I have tried both VM v1 and VM v2 with a COM port capture. It boots but the nic is missing. We need the hyper-v kernel components.

     

    You're right, but it's not in the settings menu by default when the VM is Gen2, that's what I meant.

     

    Yes, the NIC is missing.. :sad:

     

     

    I don't suppose you can share your ISO of DSM 6 can you?

    I tried using an IMG to ISO converter and it failed.

    I have no idea how to work under the bonnet of Xpenology but I'm pretty good at PowerShell so can hopefully work with people to get Hyper-V support up and running.

  19. Evening all

     

    Hopefully someone can help me.

     

    I've got a new ESXi 6 set up. I used the guide here (viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5255) to set up the VM but used the latest VMDK image rather than build my own.

    I've managed to power the machine on and can get to the install so I know the image is OK, but when I try to add any raw drives it won't let me.

     

    I used Xpenology member Cyanlabs video guide (

    ) on how to map RDM's.

    I have 2 WD3 TB drives each is it's own datastore with a folder called RDM inside, and a VMDK of what i assume is itself.

     

    When I go to add a disk the RDM option is greyed out. When I point to the VMDK file I get "Incompatible device backing #0"

    I read on the internet to go to settings and disable RdmFilter.HbaIsShared I get the same error.

     

    Any ideas?

  20.  

    Hi I ended up with the normal installation. Not using the img file and converting. I had to make sure, that the VM boots from the iso every time, which I achieved by editing the VM config file, but don't remember how I exactly did that :smile:

    So creating the VM standard way, mounting the iso, installing the DSM and making sure it boots from the iso after the DSM installation(else it did not work for me).

     

     

    So not easy then. Bugger.

    I'll have a go, hopefully won't be too tricky.

     

    Ta for the quick response.
