  2. thanks for the heads up. ...time to refresh Ole Faithful (Trantor 4.3-3810) with new TBs and power off the NANOBOT. I didn't need two of these things anyway. blocking the IP 124.173.114.175 is good for about 3 seconds. If NANOBOT has the same taste in Porn then he/she/they should be pretty pleased, I dare say there is not a torrent file NB doesn't already have. I have not and never will go Quick Connect whether I own a SYNOLGY box or XPENOLOGY, at least not until I have 2 separate networks in house. Good Luck and have fun storming the Castle MF
  3. This is one of the two cards I use: IO Crest 2 Port SATA III PCI-Express x1 Card (SY-PEX40039) The other is a 4 port. both came with mini bracket for smaller case. I use tower cases to accommodate HDD's original build had 4X1TB WD RED 2.5 drives. Very low power and very reliable (at least for me)
  4. I was a WHS user too, welcome to what should have been. ZOTAC Atom Dual-Core 1.6GHz/MCP7A-ION/DVI&HDMI/A&V&GbE/Mini ITX Motherboard IONITX-G-E with 2GB RAM barely breaks a sweat, GIGe network moves data at around 65MBs easily. 5x2TB(soon to be 4x2) + 1x3TB(soon to be 2x3TB) drives plus a 4port PCI-E card, the mobo only has 4xSATA. This tiny rig has not been found wanting for anything. Adding drives pushes CPU to about 50% during rebuild/recalc for about 5hours. it was a $60 mobo/CPU combo, use your $$ for storage. It is on24x7.
  5. Thinking out loud: might help if we post configurations to aid with the trouble shoot process. VM's are obviously different to physical boxes. I have swapped out smaller disks for larger, swapped bad disks for good, added SATA cards and added disks to the cards, added and removed disk while system is running, across versions of gnoBoot and Nanoboot all without issues on Intel based systems. System - ZOTAC Atom Dual-Core 1.6GHz/MCP7A-ION/DVI&HDMI/A&V&GbE/Mini ITX Motherboard IONITX-G-E x2 2x1GB DDR2 SATA Card IO Crest 2 Port SATA III PCI-Express x1 Card (SY-PEX40039) HDD of all types I have had mixed results with other boards/chipsets, some ok, others not so much, tend to avoid AMD systems Intel based systems seem to provide most stable experience. No experience with VIA, ARM or VM's even though I run VM for other purposes. The ZOTAC Atoms are 24x7 systems
  6. As mentioned elsewhere in this forum you can make a scheduled task from the commands and avoid having to SSH into DSM. just run the task and install update
  7. For shits & giggles this is what I have observed: my systems over time have been or are: ZOTAC Atom Dual-Core D510/Intel NM10/WiFi/A&V&GbE/Mini DTX Motherboard Mini ITX Motherboard s NM10-B-E (NM10-DTX WIFI) - ZOTAC Atom Dual-Core 1.6GHz/MCP7A-ION/DVI&HDMI/A&V&GbE/Mini ITX Motherboard IONITX-G-E (I have two of these and they are "production" systems) ASUS M3A78-EM Foxconn A7GM series The two ZOTAC production boxes are solid, there stay up 27x7. My only test was both systems are attached to UPS systems (two different UPS systems of different types, 1 an APC, the other a Cyberpower) the Cyberpower based system recognizes the UPS via USB connection, when I try the APC unit via USB connection, the system freezes. Recently we had an extended power (~2.5hrs) outage while we were away. Both systems drained their respective UPS, Cyberpower based unit was shutdown automatically. APC just died. When I restarted both systems the cyberpower based unit reported the shutdown and was fine. The APC based unit reported an improper shutdown but was fine all the same. Both systems booted without issue. the APC based unit is DSM4.3-3810 Trantor, The Cyberpower was DSM4 Trantor, now gnoBoot 5-4458, the USB to UPS connection has worked across DSM releases without issue The D510 mobo appears to have BIOS reset issues is not suitable for DSM at all The AMD based mobos appear to have BIOS reset issues but there is a workaround, the Foxconn eventually died of old age and general abuse.
  8. a couple of other observations. DSM SYS info shows CPU as Intel Core i3 2.5GHz despite it being a lowly AMD Serial number is already populated, no need for manual update the issues with the re imaging the USB stick came about because of the BIOS reset issue as per viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3289 There was no need to re image the USB stick but at each attempted boot the boot sequence was reset to boot from HDD not USB .......proceed accordingly
  9. Part 2 - Upgrade to Nanoboot 4493 update 1 from gnoBoot as above Shutdown Diskstation Source for instructions and D/L xpenology.nl D/L DSM 5.0-4493 D/L DSM 5.0-4493 Update 1 D/L Nano Boat 5.0.3.1 DSM 5.0-4493 X64 build USB Stick using NB_x64_5031_DSM_50-4493_Xpenology_nl.img Insert USB stick Boot Select 4493 upgrade Rescan using Synology Assistant from installing machine, new Diskstaion is shown as Migratable status select install point to DSM_DS3612xs_4493.pat and enter ...and this is where things go a bit pear shaped again Synology Assistant shows progress and at the point of rebooting bang system msg invalid reboot disk etc. etc. Syno Assistant still counting down, I pull USB stick, reimage, re insert and reboot manually Syno Assistant continues to count down and continues to write config files. Synology Assistant then presents screen and I can now logon Logon to new Diskstation Success ....sort of 1 of the old 160GB disks dies and system presents as degraded. insert a 500GB drive in place of failed drive and rebuild underway. All installed packages from initial build are still in place All copied data from initial build still in place All Users defined from initial build still in place Control Panel shows DSM 5.0 - 4493 update 1 available Make up you own mind as to whether you want to go through this with live data. The target of my upgrade is small enough to run a backup and restore if things really go pear shaped As long as I can repeat the goofy reimage, reboot steps I'm ok but I would not call this definitive or solid in anyway....Good luck and have fun storming the castle
  10. Part 1 - Build gnoBoot 5 alpha - 4485 from scratch on new hardware Using left over parts - assemble pc AMD Athlon X2 4850e - ADH4850IAA5DO (ADH4850DOBOX) ASUS M3A78-EM mobo 2x2GB ADATA 2x160GB Seagate but only 1 drive connected at time of initial build boot pc set bios to boot from USB set to ACHI build boot image per instructions from cyanlabs http://cyanlabs.net/tutorials/install-x ... thout-esxi D/L winimage gnoboot 1.5.alpha 4458 file ReBoot PC and follow instructions as per cyanlabs (link above) start Synology Assistant I already have 2 other Syno rigs (Trantor DSM4.3-3810 & gnoBoot DSM5.0-4458 <- ultimately I want to upgrade this) Select unit to be installed and select - DSM_DS3612xs_4458.pat ...and this is where things go a bit pear shaped boot stick still in place, update starts, at appropriate point PC attempts to reboot but msg says improper boot image etc I pull stick and re image (all while install continues according to Synology Assistant) re insert stick and manually Cntl,Alt,Delete to boot again Select gnoboot.me Select 4485 upgrade/downdrage PC boots Synology Assistant continues to show countdown as if nothing has changed Synology Assistant then presents screen and I can now logon Logon into Syno with admin. success Attempt to add second drive but knock cable to first drive and straight away goes into parity check mode. I press on Add new user Add a couple of packages Anti virus Media server Add second drive and expand volume success All working as designed Map Drive and test copy about 7GB....connection fails change port on switch test copy again but smaller files success start lager file copy from DSM4 to new DSM5 getting 40-60MB/s success. Part 2 - Upgrade to Nanoboot 4493 update 1 from gnoBoot as above ....stay tuned
  11. Thanks to anyone that can point in the right direction. I too would like a little guidance. Have been through a lot of posts including the very good xpenology.nl but nothing specific to question above
  12. wow, swatting flies with a sledge hammer. That a lot of fire power to commit a SYN. 70MB/s xfer across wired GIGe LAN. my limiting factor is the crap router. Intel ATOM D510 with 2GB ram and 6x2TB HDD is base build. But have fum storming the castle!
  13. try here for 32bit viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1967
  14. You might need to provide a little more information: Which version you are installing, there are now 3. NANOBOOT, Trantor & GNOBOOT Hardware, including CPU type 32 or 64bit, HDDs and or SSD. As for actual problem, something a little more descriptive other than doesn't work. The steps you are taking to install. Plenty of folks here willing and happy to help but help us help you. Cheers MF
  15. Thanks for this! For me, booting from a USB attached CD and then removing CD player and disk would be practical. Having read & re read I am not clear on the following... I need to leave the CD in place after XPEn.. is running? Cheers MF

  17. When you booted, did you select gnoboot.me or let it boot from gnoboot-alpha ?
  18. built the drive, then still in the PC used for the build, I did the edit (no DSM involved for me)
  19. indeed was responding to you and I'll do some assuming too. You have the USB drive built with Diskimage (or equivalent) On that drive are zImage (file) and Boot (folder) inside Boot is Grub (folder) inside Grub are the files to edit. http://cyanlabs.co.uk/news/install-xpen ... thout-esxi
  20. Well that was easy but... ____________________________________ Model name: DS3612xs Current DSM version: DSM 5.0-4482 DSM date: 2014/04/18 Status: Your DSM version is up-to-date. ______________________________________________ GNOboot image to new USB stick edit as per post above this one boot, upgrade from PAT file (upgraded from a trantor 4.3 build) all data, users, apps intact (only had 2 apps installed anyway) -Storage Manager - Overview shows No Volume information -Storage Manager - Shows info on capacity used/available accurately -Storage Manager HDD/SDD - blank System Notification says - Abnormality detected all volumes unmounted
  21. Thanks to all contributors! http://ukdl.synology.com/download/DSM/5.0/ - 4482 Dloaded 4482 and followed instructions per this forum. Temp folder error @ 22% install.
  22. Worked...but... bought = ZOTAC Atom Dual-Core D510/Intel NM10/WiFi/A&V&GbE/Mini DTX Motherboard Mini ITX Motherboard s NM10-B-E (NM10-DTX WIFI) = $60 I have two Trantor based DSM at 4.3 (current) and decided to try GNOboot DSM 5. Followed instructions and all worked as described (in the many and various posts scattered all over the place). the above MB combo had 2x400GB HDD from a previous DSM 4.3 experiment with real data and a couple of packages installed. At the conclusion of the GNOBOOT install the data was intact but packages were not. Attempted to update to update 2 as per instructions in this thread but 5 mins into update it stopped with an error msg (that I ignored and promptly went to bed) Powered up system following day expecting to start the troubleshooting process but it was up to date with DSM dated 4/9/14. The DSM fairies must have come in the night and fixed it. Thanks to all who contribute time, effort & skill to this project!
