I think you should read this thread... It's not possible with the tools available today.
-
You're welcome.
The boot-image on the USB-stick has to match the dsm-pat file. I guess that is why you have had problems.
I've just installed and upgraded my systems with the images found at http://www.xpenology.nl/installation-ds ... -update-2/
-
You should get a new version of nanoboot, which is altered to DSM v5.0 b4528, and the .pat-file for DSM 5.0 b4528.
Boot with this version and choose Install/Upgrade in the Grub menu.
I've upgraded several times without loosing any data - just be sure that the system appears as Migrateable when applying the new .pat-file.
-
I mean - where did you see that the N54L was able to use 2 or 3TB disks only?
-
I have seen you have 4To HDD in your Proliant N54L. I believed the Proliant could only use 2 or 3 To HDD ?
Where did you see that?
I've had no problems at all.
It's been running with these disks for the last year now.
-
And about my others questions :
2 / At the step of creating the volume, I didn't get the choices as said in the tutorial, the system indicate a volume already created and ok.
Should I need to delete the volume, and start a full creation with the verification HDD complete ?
No need to delete the volume just to recreate it.
I can't answer your 3. question.

Hi Benedict
Here is a tutorial how to install the latest DSM available to XPEnology, DSM 5 build 4528 update 2.
http://www.xpenology.nl/installation-ds ... -update-2/
Use the translate on the right to read it in another language than Dutch.
-
Sorry but am new to xpenology. What is sed? The protection that unmount the volumes?
Just a simple way to edit a tiny text-file used when applying an update to DSM.
-
Just realized something - are you trying to do a Synology upgrade from 4493 to 4528? In that case you have to follow the migration method. You won't loose any data or settings when migrating from 4493 to 4528 - at least I didn't.
The "SED thing" is ONLY when applying an update within the same version, 4528 -> 4528 update 2. The same version but a minor update.
-
And this command also fails?
sed -i 's/flashupdateDeb/flashupdateDeb1/' /autoupd@te.info
I've just used this command today to upgrade my N54L from 4493U7 to 4528U2 without any problems.
-
Because your NAS is not running during migration. It has only booted from your USB-stick - no user-info has been read from your NAS diskdrives.
-
At this point, have you tried starting your browser and typing the ip-address of your NAS?
Or you could try to connect to it with Synology Assistent. http://global.download.synology.com/dow ... 0-4448.exe
Are you following any guide in your process?
-
Oh ok! So yours is so fast because you have 5 disks!? I have to plan a new buy than!! Hihihi
Yes. My volume1 is build with all 5 disks, which is why I get higher transfer speed.
-
Ok I tested my nas again as per your suggestions, count=65536 should be fine for 4GB RAM!
DiskStation> time dd if=/dev/zero of=/volume1/bigfile bs=64k count=65536
real 0m 33.40s
DiskStation> time dd if=/volume1/bigfile of=/dev/null
real 0m 33.27s
It looks very bad
No, actually it looks correct with 1 disk in the system.
4096MB in 33.4 seconds = 122 MB/s = what 1 SATA disk is able to deliver.
In my eyes it looks fine.
-
How much RAM do you have in your NAS? This test only writes 1GByte, so if you have say 2GByte RAM, then the NAS is caching all your writes.
You have to write/read more than the amount of RAM in your NAS, preferably more than the double of your RAM.
1GByte RAM = 2GByte file. Just double up the count-number to 32768 for a 2GByte file.
A Sata drive is able to deliver ~120-130MByte/s sequential. If your NAS is fragmented, then your transfer speed will slow down.
These are the number from my NAS built on a N54L with 5 4TB WD Red disks and 2GByte RAM (see my sig).
NAS1> time dd if=/dev/zero of=/volume1/bigfile bs=64k count=65536
65536+0 records in
65536+0 records out
real 0m 12.36s
user 0m 0.02s
sys 0m 6.16s
NAS1> time dd if=/volume1/bigfile of=/dev/null
8388608+0 records in
8388608+0 records out
real 0m 10.19s
user 0m 0.80s
sys 0m 4.63s

65MB/s for a SATA disk is THE limit. You won't get faster unless you have a RAID matrix.
Sorry, but that is simply not true. My N54L came with a 250GB SATA drive on which I have installed Xpenology. With that ONE disk I am able to read/write with FULL 1Gbit speed = +100MByte/s.
A normal 3 1/2" 7200rpm SATA drive is able to deliver approx 120-130MByte/s on the outer tracks, and approx 80-90MByte/s from the inner tracks.
I have no experience with 2 1/2" drives, so I don't know the transferspeed they may be able to deliver.
This command times how long it takes to write 1GB to volume1:
time dd if=/dev/zero of=/volume1/bigfile bs=64k count=16384
And this how long it takes to read 1GB from volume1:
time dd if=/volume1/bigfile of=/dev/null
These commands have to be run from a shell on the NAS and measures how fast your NAS is internally. Then you know if you have a bottleneck on the disks in your NAS, or it is your network/laptop, that is holding you back.

I don't know which HDD is in your laptop, but that disk could also be your bottleneck and not your NAS. Is the disk in the laptop fragmented? If it is, then that for sure could degrade the performance of your disk.
Have you tried copying between the 2 laptops?
-
Glad to hear you are running again - and that you took your time to tell us what you have done and the process to get here.
Thank you.
-
Have you tried other ethernet cables?
What kind of cables are you using? Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6?
Are your devices connected to a 1Gbit switch or a router with 1Gbit switch? Are they connected to the same switch?
Have you tried copying to another pc?
Are your devices grounded?
-
No, you're not the only one. I've used it since the day i saw it the first time - which is a long time ago. I love simplicity.
-
If I install from update 4 to 7 are there the same problems with update 5?
Yep - did it last weekend. Several reboots to fix missing disks and volumes, and user rights on shares disappeared.
-
Same for me - update from 4 to 7. All fine after a few reboots and reapplying user rights.
Also HP N54L "bare metal" and NanoBoot 5.0.3.1.

I'm feeling stupid, but I can't find the download link of this release. Can someone show it to me please?
And you want to use this old release because...?
Why not go for DSM5? Just wondering....
Internal hdd seen as external sata drive?
