  1. Recently bought a SAS2 backplane for my 846 chassi. Just one question since im not that smart on backplanes.

     

    Will my drives somehow change id or simular that Will smash my raids due to the swap? Still gone be using the same m1015 (IT flashed) controller for passthrough to my storage VM.

     

    IV been told that if xpenology looks for device name im SOL, if UUID I should be all good?

  2. @NeoID If I have MyDS working then I have valid serial/mac pair, doesn't it?

     

    I have MyDS working and still I was unable to activate my camera's license.

     

    @mazedk install an earlier version of Surveillance Station (7.0 as far as I remember) activate your license, then update normally through package station. You should be fine.

     

    Already tried that, licenses just seem to get removed :/

     

    Guess i'll have to wait till i get around to upgrading to 5.2

  3. DS380:

    I read much about the issues with the DS380 after I encountered power-on issues under certain conditions depending on the number of connected HDDs.

    It turned out to be an issue with the DS380 backplane (the board in the rear of the HDD cage) and after contacting SilverstoneTek I got it replaced one week ago, everything working fine now.

     

    what kind of issues did you exactly have with the ds380?

     

    - I have 6 discs in mine. 5x 2tb, and 1x8tb

     

    When I try and put load on my 5x2tb raid, it throws the discs and the raid fails .. :sad:

     

    When just using the 8tb alone, theres no issue.

  4. OK, so managed to get the system up and running with 5.2.

     

    Ofcourse like others I got the " =trigger device plug event" on boot. This has something to do with the SATA Controllers. Disabling the two Marvell Controllers in the BIOS get around it but ofcourse you loose 8 SATA ports by doing that.

     

    Alternative you can change the SATA controllers to IDE in the BIOS by going : South Bridge Chipset Configuration -> SATA Configuration -> SATA Mode Selection = IDE ...

     

    I am playing around with this to see exactly how it affects the set up...

     

    I have the c2550 board, and it crashes the raid all the time when stressing it with file transfers.

     

    Edit: This might be due to heat, trying to figure that out atm but just tried a freenas install aswell..

     

    Note: This is the SilverstoneTek DS380 chassi.. seems to be utter crap when you actually fill it with even 5 discs for heat :/

  5. Okay, so a Little update. Think im switching back to 5.0 .. :sad:

     

    It seems like every time I try and create my raid og 5x 2TB discs. At some point during the build process it'll dump the discs and the disc Group crashes.. :sad:

     

    Cant seem to find any log info or simular.

  6. Hi

     

    I have been trying to install 5.2 - first via upgrade, then via fresh install - onto my Asrock Rack C2550D4I board (Avoton). http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C2550D4I#Specifications

     

    I am trying to install following the guides from xpenology.nl guides (http://www.xpenology.nl/how-to-install-dsm-5-2/). But every time I get through the install, its like the OS just halts when its rebooting into the xpenology installation for the first time.

     

    There is no errors or any possibility to do anything. Only solution is to do a reset and it just does the same again.

    curser in the end isnt blinking, its just steady.

     

    Has anyone experienced this?

     

    I have been running 5.0 on this hardware without any issues before..

  7. Will try to do a local transfer as soon as i'v setup my new raid - moving data at the moment.

     

    Using a normal soho switch, performance is decent at the moment. roughly 100MB/s (~1Gbit). So that shouldnt be the issue.

    The gnoboot VM is configured with VMXNET3, 1x dual core cpu, 2gb ram. Dual CPU single core - cloud this be an issue?

  8. Thansk for the reply

     

    I have to admit, I only tested write - moved an iso there. Didnt try to leech it.

     

    Im wondering if its due to the passthrough of the controller? - since its not raw disc mapping as most do..

     

    Hoping for some response from gnoboot or someone else knowledgable :smile:

  9. hey guys

     

    I have been playing around with gnoboot since i miss my old synology :smile:

     

    I have though, some odd issues in regards to transferring - im trying to transfer an iso file of ~3GB from my desktop (samsung 540 pro ssd) to the 5.0 DSM box.

     

    It seems like its bursting, going up and down in transfer. Like it transfers for a few secs, then stops for some, then starts again. Seems a bit odd.

     

    I have done passthrough of the entire disc controller to the DSM vm so i didnt have to do the raw mapping and could easier add/remove discs.

     

    Any thoughts? - sorry if im missing info, please do let me know if you have any questions..

     

    Basically my setup is:

     

    Supermicro X9SCL-F (http://www.supermicro.nl/products/mothe ... 9scl-f.cfm)

    E3 1265LV2

    16gb ram

    IBM M1015 flashed to LSI9211-8i via firmware upgrade.

    For now, just testing out with one 500gig disc to see how performance works with passthrough enabled.
