Symbiot78

sooo. .. I think I got it working... Annoyingly I do not know quite how.. What I did was... try multiple versions of nanoboot.. Then I tried the synoboot.img from this site.. still didn't work.. Then I deleted all vdi files, vmdk's etc. that I tested.. I then booted with nanoboot *4528 and installed version 4528 from xpenology.nl This combo.. which I've tried before.. seems to work. Harddisk in Vbox is 50 Gb Sata.

Darn it.. I can't get any disks to register in 'storage manager'.. again.. tried scsi, sata, ide.. the ata_piix module fails to load... but I am unsure if that has anything to do with it..

ok, so a reboot fixed that.. now I just need to figure out why I cannot see any of the disks I added...

ok so It installed and it works... only annoyance is that it's using 99% CPU... process is 'scemd' ... ideas?

strange... either it's because it wanted more space.. or because there should be more than 1 drive attached.. . I left the 4Gb drive attached when I created the 200Gb drive..

I may have found my problem.. I allocated 4Gb for the syno host disk.. and this seems to have been the problem. I just tried allocating 200Gb (dynamically assigned) to a second disk and now it is formatting/installing... I don't really want to use 200gb nor do I want the disk to be dynamically resized but... will update on progress..

yes, I've tried that.. with ide disk, sata disk & scsi disk.. no dice..!

Hi guys.. thanks for the suggestions... so removing all ide/sata/scsi disks (only cd with nanoboot attached) gives me an error on the webif... no harddrives found.. so there is a difference.. attaching a sata controller & satadisk.. (not ssd) webif recognizes 1 disk, but during initialization it fails. attaching a disk onto the ide controller where the nanoboot iso is mounted.. error 21.. scsi gives me an error 38..

ok, so nevermind the screenshot.. I just couldn't see the full screen.. so the bootscreen is actually showing "diskstation login".. when I go to synology assistant and rightclick and select "install" it throws an "error 22" when it tries to format the system partition.. Ideas?

Deleted the extra posts I managed to make.. got some bbcode errors but apparently it created the topic anyway..

oh.. it just sits there with .....fancontrol.sh

Hi I setup a VB and want to run xpenology dsm. I am using bootimage: Nanoboot-5.0.3.2 DSM 5.0-4528 X64 and using dsm file: DSM 5.0-4528 (Main) both downloaded from : http://www.xpenology.nl/xpenology-software/ When I boot with nanoboot and select install/upgrade the image boots but it seems to be stuck.. image: I can access the webif via syno assistant but when I try to use the .pat file I get an error... What am I doing wrong?

those spikes are increases in speed up to around 20Mb/s which lasts all of 3-5 seconds..then a long idle period of a few Kb/s..

Hi Nox CPU I can't even remember.. but it sits around 1% utilized. .. right now I am transferring data (1.2Tb) between the xpenology and my Synology 412+. this is via asus ac66u and gigabit.. screenshot shows utilization and speed (speed is when it drops)

ok, thanks.. I'll backup my data, and THEN do it..

Hi I've got a 4 disk Raid5 running on xpenology. All disks are plugged into my motherboard (mb has 4x sata) I am thinking that I'd gain some speed moving the 4 disks to my dawicontrol raid-controller.. which is already sitting in my server.. but just not in use.. 1. would I gain anything? 2. how will the raid5 filesystem react to being moved from what I assume is software raid to hardware raid? 3. is it important that disk1 is plugged into port 1 of the raidcontroller (etc) Hope you guys can give some advice

it seems to be the read speed of the harddrives. it ranges from 30kb/s to 15mb/s sometimes higher.. If I start a copy of many/larger files it will start in the mb/s then drop to kb/s then eventually.. after around 10-30mins.. the xpenology box will die and I can no longer get in contact with it without turning off the main power for the server and back on again.

Hi I've just installed the dsm5 beta xpenology. When copying/moving files between the xpenology install and my standard synology 412+ I get really erratic performance. speed goes up and down. mostly down. I am running raid5 on both boxes and both have 4x3Tb disks. Same if I mount the xpenology as network drive on my windows PC. Browsing to the drive and opening a video file for instance.. is almost impossible ... it hangs and hangs and hangs.. I've tried the xpenology before and had no issues.. I had the same result on the newest 4.3 from xpenology. Any ideas?

Just found this for your controller: http://ubuntu.5.x6.nabble.com/3-8-y-z-e ... 50287.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ide/msg46859.html I will patch the kernel with their informations in order to handle Marvell 9230 chip. Hi Trantor.. All I have is this.. I tried adding the driver with: echo 1b4b 9230 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ahci/new_id which worked.. I think... but as you commented.. it's not reboot proof..

Am I correct when reading the changelog that you didn't add support for the dawicontroller yet?

Oh.. I did see those posts.. but they made no sense to me..

Hi Trantor.. Perfect... I don't know if I did anything yesterday... I did fiddle around alot trying in complete noob style to figure out how to add the driver... but.. today when I logged in to xpenology dsm .. the disks were present.. Dunno how.. or if it just kindda came online.. the only thing that I did really was try this: which I did .. i didn't find the exact phrasing: SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 9230 (rev 08) but something like 88SE9172 and I tried adding it with the echo 1b4b etc etc.. but after I rebooted.. nothing showed in dsm.. So maybe something is already present that recognizes the controller.. but I think.. if you can find something proper.. then that would be a lot more reliable.. Thanks for your great work!

So in hoping that my controller drivers were implemented in the beta6 hba boot image i tried switching to that and installing dsm4.3 instead.. but alas.. no joy... |
