    Degraded partition AGAIN

    in DSM 6.x

    Posted

    No replies yet, oh well.

    I may have fixed it, but i dont know how. I changed a couple of settings and rebooted the system and its been healthy for 2 days. fingers crossed.

    I enabled the firewall and DoS protection. I think that was all.

    Could that have been my problem?

    Degraded partition AGAIN

    in DSM 6.x

    Posted

    I'm getting fed up with this ongoing issue. I have done several re-installs but I keep getting this notification. I have replaced drives, removed them and fitted to windows PC dock and they check out OK. I keep getting "system partition (Root) on xxxx has degraded {1/12}. re-install works for a day or 2 but then i keep getting this. I'm just about to throw it in the bin.

    What's the cause? How can i stop it?

    I have an HP gen8 with Version: 6.2.3-25426 Update 3 loaded. I used the correct bootloader and pat file, DSM_DS3615xs_25426. I used Win32DiskImager to write to micro usb fitted inside my machine.

    It was fine at first but now.......

    I get the repair option but most of the time nothing happens, sometimes it is repaired to healthy but only for a minute, 

    If I power down, pull the power and reboot it will be ok for 24 hours but then back to degraded message.

    Is Synology doing something with my system? Can I block it?

    HELP

    Update. it has been working fine until recently. I have had it on this entire time until it started to misbehave. So I tried rebooting. That didnt work, i ended up in the boot loop again. I pulled the mains plug and rebooted and got it back ok. 

    Then I got a message about one of the drives but i managed to recover that ok, now i am getting a partition has crashed message. Data is still there OK.

    So I am going to back up the data to another drive and reinstall the system using option 2 on the bootloader. 

    I think that is the way to go.

    Any other advice on why it crashed or how to recover?

    Its still working OK. Later on I will shut down instead of rebooting and then switch it on again and see if that works OK. if it does I will just stay with the SD card.

    If I do need to change to USB flash drive what is the VID/PID i need to use?

    Could the SD boot issue be due to ".xpenoboot" folder? Should I delete this?

     

    PS I also got Plex working, now i can access my media and also see it across the network. Its such a pain to configure.

    Thanks again.

    Might get brave and try the 6.2.3 version  (later). What's the benefit?

    OK got it running. Big thanks to you guys.

    I chickened out and went for v6.1.7. followed the tutorial, edited the grub file with VID/PID 0x0424/0x04030 for the HP Gen8 internal SD card slot. Also refreshed the S/N (this seems to change daily), entered NIC1 MAC.

    At first it would not run at all, it was bypassing the SD card even though I had it 1st in boot order. I googled and did 2 things, changed power management settings from "performance" to "balanced" and also pulled power cord out for 1 minute. Then it ran, I selected Reinstall then I could see it with the assistant etc. Updated DSM and now got access to all my media. 

    I just need to make sure it is reliable.

    Should I risk updating again? v6.2.3?

    Might just enjoy for now.
