[Legacy DSM versions are not available from Synology site and distribution anymore.]

As announced by Synology, they removed the legacy versions of the DSM from their download site. 

The problem is that I had a problem with my NAS and accidentally installed the DSM 6.2.4, that is not supported by the Jun´s loader. 

 

As I don´t have a backup of my data I would like to restore the normal situation with DSM 6.2.3.3 and jun´s loader 1.04b to make the backup before any DSM upgrade move. 

 

Is it posible to find this DSM version somewhere different from Synology site? 

 

Would be posible to someone to share the original pat file of DSM 6.2.3 for the 918+ HW? 

 

I opened this thread here because I think It is going to be a very common problem and would be good if the community could share the legacy DSM versions for XPenology.

 

Thanks!

Hi there! I believe I am building a new NAS with the same configurations.... Could you tell me the motherboard, loader and DSM you are using at the end?

maybe you can use the (internal) cdrom/dvd connector with a adapter for a hdd?

 

also i would have said the same as abced but then i found this:

https://hedichaibi.com/fix-xpenology-problems-viewing-internal-hard-drives-as-esata-hard-drives/

 

that guys intension was to correct the numbering on his sata drives (a "gap" seems prevented the normal numbering in a row), but if you have a look to the last picture

he kind of accidently made his usb flash drive a intern hdd (disk21), so you might be able to convince dsm that a usb drive is internel (even if no one would recommend doing it)

i'm still not getting it why the flash drive is a hdd, from the configuration data it looks ok, only "mistake" i can spot is that he did not set the "maxdisks" drive numer (if not changed it will be 12 so the flash drive is number 13 and above the maxdisks)

 

@vladiwan

as you are new i dont think you should try this, if things go wrong or you make mistakes you can easyly mess up your system

Be aware that some version upgrades of DSM will overwrite your edited synoinfo.conf and reset it to 12 drives and the default esata/usb, which will make any volume with > 12 drives crash and your extended (disk 21) drive will disappear. After that upgrade you will need to re-edit the synoinfo.conf for your settings and repair volumes, but your extended disks will probably reappear ok. 

Tks sbv300. I will simulate the change by going back the synoinfo.conf to its default and see what happens with the disk.

Thank you IG88!!!

I had to reboot the NAS but it worked great for me! 

My external enclosure with two SATA disks in JBOD mode is now the internal disk 21.

 

these is my configuration now..
