Looking at the Datasheet:
Supports IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, IEEE802.3ab, IEEE802.3x
hmmm, I see 802.3 ab NOT AD...

It has a Video output, yet, like most Mobo's. same as most XPenology NAS's, it does not have a dedicated GPU.
XBMC/Kodi is just a Media server like Plex, wondering if anyone has build one on the XPenology platform, most likely inside Docker.

Hi all
Curious, how intelligent is XPenology on the network side.
My switch is a 24 port unmanaged TPLink. Thinking of cabling my new Xpenology NAS into the network via 2 x 1Gb links, hoping to e able to get 2Gb link to the NAS. Normally this would e via LACP which requires NIC Teaming/aggregation which actually requires a managed switch.
Have watched a couple of youtube videos where both ports are patched, but double the normal user/consumer will have a managed switch at home.

Hi all
At what video size/quality is cable 100Mbps or 1Gbps required. Recently discovered that the cables installed in my house are all Cat5 and not Cat5e which means I'm throttles down to 100Mbps per plug point instead of the desired 1Gbps.
Going to have to fix/correct some of them, just gave to be clever about which.

Kodi works on a Rasperry Pi (ARM), also don't have a GPU.

...
Has anyone build a XBMC and/or Kodi VM on the NAS, using the platform as a central place to run PMS, XBMC and or Kodi.
PMs is great for TV series and movies, but seems XBMC + AddOn's is the better option for sport streaming.

Hi all
Does anyone have, or know where on the Synology site there is something like a family tree.
Showing how where the models fit in from say a CPU power capability, from a disk capability, maybe features/ability.
just trying to put together a product grown in my mind,
Easy enough to figure out that series 15 was before series 16 and before series 17 and so on...
We, well me figured/assume that the 3615xs is the small brother of 3617xs, only difference I can pickup between the 2 is memory and cpu speed. but then I might be missing something (then we have the 916 which is also a build/pat file we can run with the Jun loader.
Considering the 3617 is more recent, and DSM 6.2 coming out soon/imminent, would it not make sense to rather use the 3617xs as the default pat file for all new loaders, why are we sticking to 3615xs, whats the logic.

Hi Vasco,
are your referring to OVM as the server hypervisor or to OVM desktop hypervisor which is actually Virtualbox.
I found for my install/network I needed a Bridge for access from external, a NAT for my Xpenology to get external access to be able to get to the Synology package store and a local only network for my to get onto the NAS locally for admin, know messy, but it's what was needed in network/security architecture.

Question...
Does Photo station and the new Moments (6.2 beta at the moment) leave the photos you drop into folders where you dropped them (and leave original name in place), and simply build up a file name / tag index in the back ground.
Remember some MP3 systems in the pat on another platform actually moved the mp3's which messed things up badly.
looking at feature, with my more disk space and consolidating everything onto my new XPenology this is a package I'm keen on exploring,

@George - That is not ARM software. That is Intel.
hehehe and as you typed that I just remembered reading the Datasheet for the DS3615xs and remember reading the mention of a i3 CPU.
My mistake, you are all correct... thanks.
G

ok, was not thinking that the pat file from synology compiled for the ARM architecture would be useable on the intel architecture. (another thing learned
)
thanks.

Where do I download DSM 6.1.5-15254.pat file?
Can't see it on MEGA with the june 1.0.2b boot loader ? or can I pull it directly of www.synology.com 's download site/page.

Question, if I build the XPEnology now using the Jun loader. how difficult is it, or is not to switch to Quicknic's loader. Is it simply a case of building a new USB, swapping and rebooting ?

Honestly if Synology play that game and make it harder and harder, I'll move to a different OS entirely. Most people with an Xpenology either:
a) Can't afford a genuine Synology system.
b) Have a more powerful system compared to most of Synology's product range (my case).
Synology should be smart and offer their OS at a price for third party systems rather than piss off people that wouldn't/can't use their hardware for various reasons. I'd pay good money for DSM personally.
Ditto. this is a market/customer base that Synology is throwing away,
G

I'm going to stick my hand up for releasing the DS3615xs loader now... It might be selfish, but thats all i need, and can say we can give feedback now,
" the fact that Synology seems to be signing modules which means" this does not good at alllll.

technically it is possible to have a build in higher max disk count in the loader
in the 916+ loader jun did exactly this and changed from the default 4 to the "usual" 12
so if you extract the extra.lzma, change the jun.patch from 12 to 24 and regenerate the extra.lzma with that change you would have a loader with 24 drives instead of 12
(ok in realty you would need to change more than this one thing, there is also internalportcfg, esataportcfg and usbportcfg)
but spare the effort, if quicknick releases his loader its already a build in feature
--- a/etc/synoinfo.conf +++ b/etc/synoinfo.conf @@ -135,7 +135,7 @@ enableRCPower="no" maxaccounts="2048" maxgroups="256" maxshares="512" -maxdisks="4" +maxdisks="12" maxprinters="2" maxlogsize="64"I'm not going to dabble this deep into modifying this, to new with this, rather wait for quicknic's loader.
Still trying to figure out the differences between a 3615/3617 and 916... other than cpu/memory and number of disks supported natively ???

The only delay holding me back is time. I am extremely time limited.
DS3615xs loader is 100% complete and post is ready to unlock... Just debating whetether I want to do an all in one loader or manage 3 separate loaders. Hence the delay on release for DS3615xs.
If all-in-one, then I would want to add a few more pieces in and do some QC testing. Then anyome can just use set model=DS3615xs or DS3617xs or DS916.
All in one is easier to maintain than you'd think. The changes between the core files on my rootfs changes very little between the models.

being a real noob here,
if I was to use the jun loader now, can I simply re-imae my USB with your loader when it becomes available and then boot with that or is there more involved.

I would do the opposite DS3615xs to DS915 due to hardware that i have.
It would be nice have the DS918+ loader that could support hardware acceleration for plex and Hardware Encryption Engine (AES-NI) of my Intel Celeron J3455
think the problem here might be my lack of feature difference between DS915 and DS3615. I figured the higher models was simply more drives, faster CPU's, more interface ports.
G

ok, that looks better, I can see the startup happen, and can interface with it.
Actually expected allot more to come to the screen, comparing to a previous thread and included screen grabs attached.
it ends with a login prompt, although it did not accept my admin username/password.

ok, so I edited my VM configure to point to /tmp/ds3615
After restarting the VM I can see the file having been created via Terminal on my MAC.
Now what, figure I should be able to simply tail -f the file, but getting permission error/not allowed,
G

me... still curious...
So the default pat file we're all using is mapped to the DS3615xs which is specced as being able to support up to 36 drives via a base unit of 12 drives and 2 disk expanders, each of 12 drives.
But when we install DSM using the 3615xs pat file it only shows 12 drives capability? Ye I figure thats because the max drives are currently set to 12 drives, basically need confirmation of my logic.... guessing when you add a disk expander to the real synology ds3615xs it then modifies this max_drives itself at time of picking up there are external disk trays attached ?

Perfect, the new NAS host is being build (prob Wednesday/Thursday once I get my new MB) with 6 HDD's + 1 M.2SSD at the moment, so that will be day one config, but the entire machine is being configured/planned as 16 HDD's + 4 SSD's.
so will look at modifying this after install, would prefer to build it with Nick's boot loader.
G
-
Is this (the increase of max_drives in grub.conf) something that HAS to be done before install, or can it be changed later.
Looking at my long term plans will probably push up to 24 drives,

as mac os is derived from bsd i'd expect it to be like unix/linux
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#serialports
"...
On a Mac, Linux or Solaris host, a local domain socket is used instead. The socket filename must be chosen such that the user running VirtualBox has sufficient privileges to create and write to it. The /tmp directory is often a good candidate.
..."
thanks
Curious, is this same serial port access available/configurable on a bare metal XPenology install, (note to self go look if it is available via quikcnicks boot loader).

Thanks. as for cat 5 /5e... even at my distance, which is not allot, just runs between study and other rooms in the house, the cabling drops me down to 100Mb
Thanks for the size/resolution. First thing to get onto 1Gb is my WiiAP, It's sitting on a 100Mb link at the moment, capable of 300Mb, but having 5 devised connected to it all the time/streaming, or make that trying...
