Hi. I was wondering if there's anyway I can install DSM in an external HDD and boot from it? Whenever I connect an external HDD to my N54L's external ESATA port to boot it just doesn't show up (although it works flawlessly if I use an USB port)...

So I was finally able to run these commands but no volume was created. Do I need to create a new volume to access my files or would I delete the files if I create a new volume?

Hi. Can you please tell me how you run the e2fsck command? When following the instructions and try to run e2fsck -nvf -C 0 /dev/vg1000/lv I get an error message that dir /dev/sda1 doesn't exist

So I was able to downgrade from DSM 6.0.2-8451 to DSM 5.2-5644 Update 5 but volumes refuse to mount (Abnormality detected on [NAS Name]. All volumes have been unmounted). Moved thread to here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13288&start=70

I took all these steps but when I login I get the error "Abnormality detected on (NAS Name). All volumes have been unmounted." Help

Thanks, any clue if I can rollback to 5.2.4 and how to do it?

Not exactly. I originally booted from a DSM 5 key. I've updated to DSM 6 from the control panel using my browser. There was a migration step that allowed you to delete some data (according to it) but retain my files. After that 2 things happen: 1. If I use a DSM 5 key I'm able to boot and log on to the control panel but it says no volumes exist. I assigned a static IP address though which still allows me to access the control panel. 2. If I use the DSM 6 key the NIC it doesn't get any IP. And I believe that's where your problem lies. You used Xpenoboot 5.2 to update to DSM 6.0.2. That's a no no in my opinion. Xpenoboot was never meant to be used with DSM 6. Both loaders use different ways to hack different DSM versions. Reboot your router. Make sure MAC, s/n, and pid/vid are set correctly. Then try reinstalling. MAC, s/n, pid/vis settings are correct. What do you mean with reinstalling? By the way, when booting the NL54 latest showed status is that it's booting the kernel. I just want to access my files so I would also consider downgrading DSM 6.0.2 to XPenoboot 5.2 if possible

Yes same issue

billat29 thanks! I forgot the N54Ls came with AMDs and not Intel So device is now showing up on synology assistant with the static IP address, status is set as ready but when I try to connect to it I get an error on the browser (http://10.10.10.3:5000/?timestamp=1480540354) detailing that 10.10.10.3 ^(the static IP I've set) refused to connect.

Thanks for your reply. No, it's not detected on the network. When I use the USB with DSM 5 I can access the NAS but not with the DSM 6 USB key (it doesn't get an IP so likely a driver issue). ~Is there anyway I can access the files, copy them elsewhere and reconstruct the RAID?

I changed the loader as detailed and used DS3615xs 6.0.2 Jun's Mod V1.01 Changed the config file, all that stuff and booted it on my N54L. No errors (last message is that the interface is running) but I'm unable to find the NAS using the Synology Assistant

´*bump* for help

So I've updated my N54L to DSM 6.0.2-8451, completed the install and now I have no volumes and when I try to create a new one it says it will erase all my files... Any way I can restore the files I had? PS - I did the upgrade through the DSM interface and the option I've picked said it would erase data but not the files... Thanks, J.

Nevermind, I was able to delete the IPs from the list using my laptop, seems this option is not available from the Ipad client.
