Hi everybody, I've just built a new nas with new loader 6.2 of Jun. However, when I tried to use root account to access WinSCP, I always got "access denied". That's weird. I've never seen it before when I'm using loader 6.0 or 6.1 on other my Nases at home. Anybody please confirm if root account was disable on loader 6.2 or I'm missing something? Thanks.

Loader 6.1 and 6.2 cannot see HDDs thru IOCrest Sata card
Elpee replied to Elpee's topic in Hardware Modding
Sorry guys, it's my bad. I got a RocketRAID card in IOCrest Sata card box. See the picture. I now can confirm chip Marvell 9218 has no problem with 6.2 loader. -
Loader 6.1 and 6.2 cannot see HDDs thru IOCrest Sata card
Elpee replied to Elpee's topic in Hardware Modding
Thank you, guys for your replies. Just FYI. My mobo is Asrock H87M Prod4 that has 2 PCIe slots. I moved the card to another slot but didn't work either. Went to bios and disabled sound, parallel, serial, Infrared. Changed Primary Graphic Adapter from PCIe to Onboard,... but to no avail. Sorry, I don't know how to check dmesg output. I put a 2-ports card that has Asmedia chip on the same slot, DSM 6.2 recognized HDDs. Anyway, I just bought a Dell perc h310 hba card and flashed it to IT mode. It worked like a champ and I'll keep it to build my Nas. -
Hello, My motherboard has 4 ports and I want to build a xpenology nas with 8 HDDs. I bought a IOCrest 4 ports sata card. Windows 2016 could see 4 HDDs thru this card but xpenology couldn't, doesn't matter I used 6.1 or 6.2 loader. Checked and found this sata card using chip Marvell 9218. Can anybody confirme if xpenology supports this card? Or I missing something? Thank you.

Thanks. How about question 2? Should I leave SataPortMap=1 (as default) or change to 12 in grub for 12 HDDs?

I have 2 questions, guys. 1. After i mounted (by OSF mount) to adjust SN, MAC, VID, PID in grub file, I burnt the img into a USB drive by Rufus. Finally, I found out I keyed in a typo my MAC. I wanted to correct it in grub file but I couldn't see my USB drive anymore when I hook it up to my Windows 10 desktop. I could see my USB drive in Disk Management thou. Please help. 2. My baremetal Nas has 12 HDDs, should I leave SataPortMap=1 (as default) or change to 12 in grub? Thanks for your prompt replies. I appreciate it.

How did you get/see grub.cfg file to set vid & pid? Since I moved to new 1.03b, I've never seen this grub file anymore. I used rufus to load 1.03b into a bootable usb drive. Thanks.

Cool, thanks. Hope Jun and other devs also see it.

Guys, I know Update 6 looks promise now. My question here is what version of update you stayed on before you moved to update 6? Say, mine currently has update 1. Can I move directly to update 6 or move to update 2 and then update 3 and then blah...blah... till update 6? Thanks.

Sorry, but I don't care "OK after reboot", instead I care much about the timebomb after reboot in the next few weeks. I don't have a test machine, so I really don't want to risk my own value data for nothing. Thanks, guys anyway.

Why would we have to update if our systems run smoothly and we don't have to?

Looks like Synology inserted new codes into Update 4 to kill "outsiders." Hope it's not...

Is DSM checking SN for video conversion?
Elpee replied to princerock's topic in Packages & DSM Features
No way. Most money Synology get is from the boxes (hardware) they sell, if you know that. -
To prevent my AMD Nas keeps running on obsoleted DSM 6.0 forever, I formatted all HDDs, installed Windows 10 and VMWare Workstation 12 Pro on my AMD Nas to install new DSM 6.1. I had downloaded the .ISO format from here (managed by Polanskiman) , but unfortunately it can't boot in new VM. I've done it before when I installed DSM 5.2. All I did in the past was add bios.bootOrder = “cdrom” at the second line of .vmx file. That's it. But this time, it didn't work anymore. Does anyone know how to ,or where can i find the guide for the new loader V1.0.2b on VMWare Workstation? Thank you. I appreciate your prompt replies.

How did you manage installing DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 1 on a AMD laptop?
-
For those who have AMD based Nases never have any chances to upgrade to latest DSM 6.1. Yes, we have to wait for a compatible AMD loader but looks like it lasts forever... My question here is if we can create a ESXi 6.5 VM on AMD based machine and then install the latest loader v1.02b on it? Thank you for your prompt replies. I appreciate it.

Fair enough, I have 2 IP cameras and want to setup surveillance station on my current XPEno. How can I buy the licenses from Synology? Do you think it will work? If it's not allowed to talk here, pls PM me where people talking about surveillance station setup on XPEnology. Thanks.

Hard Disk Numbering VS Motherboard port numbers
Elpee replied to dgrigo's question in General Questions
Also from my experience, that's why I prefer using bare metal in which I can see SMART with sn on each drive that matches sn on the label I put on each physical drive. So, every time DSM alarms a hard drive issue, I just look for its sn and then pull out the physical drive with a label accordingly. Because we're using our own hardware, do not suppose DSM writes on disk the info that matches on the hardware controller(s).
