    XPEnology gnoBoot

    in DSM 5.2 and earlier (Legacy)

    Posted

    Hi guys

     

    I managede to install gnoboot on a headless server and its running pretty good. When i log into DSM everything is working fine and my resources look great. Its installed natively on a HP Mediasmart server ex490 with a Intel E5700 and 2 gb ram.

     

    My problem is when i log in via SSH and run "top" i get some different results (or at least i think i do)

    Here's a copy/paste of what it looks like.

    I can't figure out what the 2 http using 229m is doing. For me it seems pretty excessive that they use that amount of memory, when its a completely new installation without any apps installed yet. Perhaps if i hosted some heavy home pages on the server or something else, but for a new installation i find it odd.

     

    Anyone else noticed this or have a good explanation to what is happening here?

    XPEnology gnoBoot

    Hi,

     

    I'm about to install XPEnology via gnoboot on my home-NAS.

     

    I have a frew questions. (Also I might suggest, as this thread grows and grows to setup a sub-forum for gnoboot)

     

    The gnoboot image goes on a usb thumb drive which probably corresponds to the "hidden" flash-boot device inside a normal synology box. The installer then installs the DSM onto the mirrored partition on all harddrives.

     

    As thumb drives _will_ fail some day, I wanted to ask if it's just a read only thing and if I can restore the downloaded gnoboot image to another thumb-drive and all will be fine again?

     

    Minor updates are downloaded in place and then the replacement with "sed" has to be done (why, do we need to change that string?). What about major releases. Let's say DSM 5.1 or even 6.0. Would one first update the gnoboot thumb drive and then in-place upgrade the DSM software?

     

    thanks for helping out,

    Dark-Sider

     

    You can just replace the usb, nothing is saved on it...

    /etc/rc.network is very different from 5.0-4418 to 5.0-4458 that might be the problem. Trying replacing the file using older version.

     

    I disabled local master browser (had no others on the lan) and mac file service wich seems to have solved the problem, had both these on in the beta without any problem...

    im having this strange problem since updating to 5.0 from the beta...

     

    I always had UPNP enabled in my router, but since the update this function criples my lan.. Every once in a while the network hangs for 2s, if i dissconnect the xpenology-box or disable upnp in the router everything is fine and as soon as i put it back on with upnp enabled in router the lan acts up...

    I have tried with a different cable but thats not it.

     

    Anyone got a clue on this?

    I got a N54L wich im running dsm5 on natively... Anyone knows if its possible to install xbmc on synology and put a gpu in my server and run it straight to the tv?

     

    You could take a look at this thread on XMBC on Synology hardware.

     

    Yes you can install a GPU half height. Nvidia seem to have the best comparability for nix systems from what I have read. Here is some info on cards that are known to work in the N40L.

     

    The only thing is that you may find the standard microserver to be a little bit noisy when running close to the TV?

     

    I already have it close to the tv, doesnt bother me at all, already have a half height gpu too, and old nvidia g210... But the link you provided is running xbmc back-end on the synology... i wanna run the whole thing there wich i guess is a bit more complicated... :sad:
