no, i compared the drivers for my extra.lzma and i can not remember this, it would mean i did have to build more drivers for the 3615 extra.lzma and my documentation does not tell me this mpt3sas and mv14xx (both storage) are in 3617 and not in 3615 but no difference when it comes to 10G network, 916+ image has significant less drivers (also 10G drivers) but as long as we have the ability to compile drivers it can be leveled with the extra.lzma (still some disadvantages for 916+)

if the 5ghz ap only get a 100mbit connection the it can be a little unpredictable when using more the one wifi client for video imho there might be a different option for connection 1GBit switch to AP then the existing cat5 cables - Powerline (dLAN, PowerLAN, PLC) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-line_communication that can at least give you a >100MBit connection for one point 2 point connection in the house, maybe more

for hd/bluray you should use 5ghz wifi, single stream 2.4 ghz is usualy (newer iterations) max 75 Mbit, even with 1-2 meter line of sight i never got hd/bluray (40mbit) reliable working, the ususal rule might be calculate with half what the wifi speed is promising, so with 5GHz thats 150Mbit (single stream) so there should be about 70-80 Mbit usable bandwidth for video a 1gbit connection of the ap to the lan would be better but i guess 100mbit will do as long as there is nothing else on that 100mbit connection so you realy get the full 100mbit speed for your wifi ap and for the video

the old extra.lzma that i have (i guess its the one polanskiman had for downloading) does not contain hpsa.ko (so the e200 controller will not work) and also a problem, the driver in question is bnx2.ko but the (6.0) extra.lzma does not contain firmware for this driver, even with jun's 1.02b we had problems of missing bnx2 firmware that i corrected in my (6.1) extra.lzma i guess your best choice (beside using dsm 5.2) might be using 1.02b with my extra.lzma and ignore the e200 controller and use a controller that does work with dsm 6.1 like the 8 port controller i mentioned here: https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/12158-dsm-only-sees-4-ports-with-marvell-88se9705/?do=findComment&comment=86148 (or maybe two cheap 4port syba marvell based controllers?)

i could not find much about how its working or a package to install on a normal linux to check on what it depends but from reading it sounds a little bit like snake oil (the only thing missing was the claim to use AI) to promote the ironwolf brand, s.m.a.r.t. does the job too and the problem with things like that is usually not the technical side, its more like there is a conflict, they claim to have the best product that kind of never fails but have to report failures and not only to admit they where lying also having to warranty the drive - they more like to prevent both so even smart is not that reliable some times having more undocumented proprietary stuff like this does not help (imho)

you can open a console (ssh) and use the following to check what drivers are used and we can check here if this drivers are available for dsm 6.1 lspci -k | grep 'Kernel driver'

no, looks like i got confused by the small numbers, counted one 4TB disk more then you have this typo looks like we could also discuss this in the german section

yes thats still correct, the system and swap will be on all disks if ssd is first drive it will load from this as long as its present, when it comes to put the most disks to sleep its more about having the 1st data volume (when installing plugins and you dont have one dsm will tell you to create one) seperated so disk activities will mostly go there yes, thats the point, but you can do backups to compensate too, usually people underestimate about config because its build over a long time and not so well documented i usualy try to keep ports free for expansion, in my experiance 1-2 years after setting it up you will need it so if the space and ports are limited its worth considering bigger disks (i try to double capacity when changing disks) and maybe staying with raid5 atm your win with the new disks/configuration are just 2TB in usable space (i'd use raid5 up to 6-7 disks) the topic of this thread, INCREASE boot time - increase like longer time

in theory 5/5e have the same bandwidth of 100MHz if the distance is not to far you might get 1 gibit/s, maybe using newer cat5e sockets might help too to get 1gbit http://discountcablesusa.com/ethernet-cables100.html about video, a bluray (full hd) is maxing with ~40MBit so 100Mbit should be ok for hd streaming and digital tv (use a gigabit switch so the backplane of the switch has enough bandwidth for more connections to clients) 4k might work in some cases when the full possible bandwidth is not used (82/108/128 MBit) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_HD_Blu-ray i guess most 4k stuff from the internet is re-encoded for smaller size and will be below 100Bit but i think when it cant be predicted and only works in some cases its not fun to use and not technical users are easily annoyed as they cant see why its working and sometimes not (missing causality)

FAQ https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/9393-hardware-faq/?do=findComment&comment=82384 syba 4port controller (ahci marvel based) seem to be used often lately (search the forum) if its 8 port: https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/12158-dsm-only-sees-4-ports-with-marvell-88se9705/

you could dig in the log to see if there is something, maybe that will give us a hint why its not working, keep in mind that sysnology does have its own modded kernel and is using specific hardware so i might depend on things your system does not have (like intel cpu - you "hp gen8" does not tell ME what hardware you have)

just because the isn't a dedicated chip does not mean there is no gpu, the arm cpu can't do h.264/h.265 decoding thats a task of the gpu and depending of the "chip" used for such small low power systems there are differences depending mostly of the gpu, i use a odroid-c2 instead of raspi, this one (amlogic s905) has a better gpu then the raspi, also most "problems" with open source on this arm systems are around the gpu drivers and the fact that there are usualy not opne source the question about xmbc in our case would be - does kodi work headless (without a dedicated output/gui), the way dsm is made seems not to offer the option for a local gui (like its done on asus nas systems using kodi)

1 stand for 1 second, 5 would be 5 seconds, ... so if you want a waiting time in the bootloader adjust this number depends on bios/systemboard, things like remove waiting times for disks if there is any, disable 3rd party bios extensions, fast boot, ... i guess there will be lots of guides and howto if you look for it, that's a old thing as long as its not nvme, m2 sata might work but nvme is not supported with the current images slight problem with this is that if you have only one ssd with that 1st data volume then there is no redundancy (dsm copys itself to alls disks in the system as raid1) whats "this comment" - you boot from usb and under normal conditions dsm boots off the first disk (ssd in you case), it might speed up booting and if the 1st volume is on this disk with plugins and the plugin configuration then there is a lower possibility that activities will wake up all the other disks, that depends on the plugins, like if you use a download manager and its destination is the 1st volume the lets say 6 other disks that are a separate raid5 volume should not wake up btw i dont use such config, just to gain 30 seconds on booting dsm up is not enough to block a sata port and shell out extra money for a ssd, i need all my 12 ports for bigger disks (also i would not use a bsic volume without redundancy i always use 1 disk redundancy so i would need 2 ssd's) and my disks go to sleep as because i dont use any plugins (might change but there is nothing i need that desperate atm)

like every smartphone now days it has https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi "with an integrated ARM compatible central processing unit (CPU) and on-chip graphics processing unit (GPU)."

grub.cfg (1st partiton on usb) set timeout='1' -> set to the amount of seconds you need the usb image is about ~50 MB so the amount of data to read on boot is limited, as most flash drives read faster then write (and have low iops) there is not much gain, optimizing bios might bring you more then the 1-2 seconds from usb to achieve power consumption and faster speed you should have the 1st drive ssd and the 1st volume (where plugins are installed) on that, lots of plugins prevent dsm from going to sleep or hdd's going to sleep so "isolate" them in the 1st data volume and have all other data on the normal hdd's might help keep in mind your planed hardware has limited expansion capabilitys, no spare sata ports so with one pcie slot its 10Gbit notwork OR more sata ports in the future (if you plan for >2 years)

i have updated the driver pack to v4.6 it now contains your brocade 10G driver (bna.ko)

also wenn es darum geht was dsm/xpenology e-sata nennt dann geht es um die konfiguration von variablen in der synoinfo.conf dein board hat 6+2 und der syba 4 das ist zwar konform zu den max. 12 aber es gab schon fälle wo andere komponenten da was verschoben haben afair weicht das aber beim 916+ image von jun ab (max disk wird auf 12 eingestellt aber internalports nur auf 8) wenn du das 916+ image benutzt die internalports fon 0xff auf 0xfff anpassen alernativ kann man testweise auch den asm1061 (2 ports) oder die internen 6 ports deaktivieren um die adapter mit dem syba zu testen probleme könnte es geben wenn die rahmen nicht für sata3 (6GBit) ausgelegt sind, ansonsten sollte das mit dem hotplug keine rolle spielen so lange man das nicht macht, davon agesehen ist sata eigentlich schon hotplug fähig, z.b. haben die anschlüsse (z.b. an der platte) uterschiedlich lange "zungen" so das beim anschließen eigentlich immer zuerst masse kontakt bekommt und danach alles andere, ob die software das dann auch hotplug mäßig auf die reihe bekommt ist noch mal was anderes

if it does not boot you can try this (worked for me an a old hp dc7600)

if its so easy to compile a new kernel why did jun made the effort to patch the running kernel, a newly compiled kernel could support amd and even hyper-v but we dont see this i'd expect some protections to preventing things like that and for 6.2, i would not think to much about it, we will see when it got officially released by synology

he has not much time and wants to mod it further to incorporate all 3 versions of jun's loader so it will take a little longer but don't worry, if you really need that 10G driver i will add it shortly to my extra.lzma and you can go on with jun's loader for now

any tool with reading, writing image (multiple partitions) should work i guess, Win32DiskImager is the one used successfully btw. on windows you also coud use a linux vm (installed or even live linux), give the usb device to that vm and mod it the linux way

its on the first partiton on the drive, shutdown your nas, remove it, inset it into a linux system, mount 1st partiton, change grub.cfg win10 creators update was also able to do this but with fall creators update its not working but on windows you can still do it, use Win32DiskImager to make a image of it, use osfmount to mount the parttion, change grub.cfg, user Win32DiskImager to write the modded version to usb

do you use a extra.lzma (who made it) or did you just copy the sata_sil.ko to your system and started it (like with insmod), also here where did the sata_sil.ko came from i'm not doing dsm 6.0 stuff (never did), but i still have a small collection of loader and driver versions (even quicknicks retracted one) i've added two files you can try, but i will not compile any drivers for 6.0 quicknick_sata_sil.ko testing_sata_sil.ko

hi, beside the ram problem there is also a problem with the sata port count, default config is 12 drives, you have 6 + 8 = 14 drives, depending on where your drives are connected there might be 2 missing, to use all ports you need to change synoinfo.conf (and after major updates like 6.1.4->6.1.5, ~200MB pat file) you will have to redo it

make sure your destination disk is empty (remove all partitions) double check an the vid/pid you could try the install for testing with the 3615 to be sure its nothing special about the 916+
