  1. This is simply just great! Now my N54L is almost hybernating... :grin:

    Thanks sancome! :grin:

  2. DSM IS on every disk. :smile: DSM builds a raid, that covers all disks in your system. If you look at your disks, they all contain 2 partitions in the beginning (DSM and swap-partition), and then the volume partition(s) where you store your data.

    Packages are often installed on volume 1 if they need to store some data.

  3. The USB stick emulates the built in boot-ROM in a real Synology.

    As soon as the NAS is up and running, you may remove the USB stick - it is not needed before you need to reboot your NAS.

    All DSM software is, as you state, installed on every HDD in your system.

  4. I'm afraid so.

    My upgrades - have done 5 until now - all went fine, and all my packages were fine. But then i don't have that many. Photostation, Audiostation, VPN, Webalizer and a few more that I don't remember.

    From which version did you upgrade? I've only upgraded from v5.0 b4528U2.

  5. Everything seems to be fine except the detection of the 5th and 6th drives (ODD and external SATA) that I'm not sure if it's something I did or if it's something with 5.1.

    I'm running DSM5.1 b5022U2 (upgraded from 5.0 b4528U2) on 5 disks in my N54L - bare metal. The fifth disk is connected to the ODD port.

    Have you checked your BIOS - verified that nothing has changed during the upgrade?

  6. Anyway, I prefer AMD over Intel because the limitation in the MAX RAM. I hope HP will release soon Microserver G9 with AMD CPUs. :oops:

    What do you mean by RAM limitation? Both microserver Gen7 (AMD N54L) and Gen8 (Intel Celeron/Pentium/Xeon) handles 16GB RAM.

    Or am I missing something here...?? :???:

  7. A DSM 5.1 boot image is under heavy development behind closed doors with a team of contributors (sancome included). We have had great success and are in the process of working out the last few bugs. Try to be patient and wait for a release announcement.

    This is some serious good news! My deepest respect to you guys. Thank you SO much!

    No rush - all good things come in due time. :smile:

  8. I'm using this one: http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f1 ... st21503128

    This also allows you to use the ODD port as a full blown SATA port for a 5th harddrive. :smile:

     

    And then do these configs.

     

    To enable AHCI on all ports, go to Southbridge Config, SATA 4/5 and disable sata 4/5 IDE mode.

     

    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

    OnChip IDE Type = IDE

    SATA IDE Combined 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

  9. It is not possible to upgrade to or install DSM 5.1 yet.

    The sed-command is only useable when upgrading within the same build version of DSM, what Synology like to call Updates. That is DSM 5.0 b4528 to DSM b4528 Update 2.

    The latest available version to Xpenology is DSM 5.0 b4528 Update 2.
