    keep in mind people doing this in there spare time (and usually have a life outside this forum) so if something with the family or the job comes up things like a loader have to stand back, i guess there is always a plan but things change and there is more important stuff then having it released on a fixed date, so even if there would be a ETA, don't expect it to be 100%, its not a commercial product that has to be on the market to beat the competition

    i'm sure quicknick has his NAS already running just without his loader and doing this project is for the fun, so people asking for a ETA is like pressure and you don't want that if you have fun doing it (some people have a very thick skin but you should not count on this)

     

     

    100%, just trying to figure out if it was to be this month or next quarter.

     

    Well actually found another thread it is last week/this week.

    Connecting to serial port -> VirtualBox

    in vm config goto serial port, enable com1, modus host-pipe, uncheck connect with host/pipe and for path on windows have this "\\.\pipe\ds3615" (ds3615 is just a string you choose for each vm differently as you can have more then one vm using this)

    in putty you select serial instead of the usual ssh or telnet, where the ip/host is (now named "serial line") comes the pipe you defined in the vm "\\.\pipe\ds3615" and speed is 115200, after starting the vm the pipe is available and you can connect with putty

     

     

    Not to figure out how to do the putty component on a MAC using the terminal program

    that was last year and for dsm 6.0 (i still have the last version but never used it, after some testing i migrated from 5.0 to 6.1)

    there will be a new one for 6.1

     

     

    and?

     

     

    thats your actual problem? what hardware?

    if its old and not uefi you will have to use the mbr version of the loader

     

     

     

    Any idea if quick nick will be releasing his loader (ETA) for DSM 6.1,

    The previous loader he had available got removed from the thread.

    a typo, you write, was not wanting to say boot, was suppose to say mount.

     

    And btw never said i was gonna use this for work, I just said I had a bad day at work, got home and to chill started building the NAS, and in the process bend some of the CPU pins, thats why I haven't tried the USB's yet.

    ... got the sticks.... step #1

     

    step #2, build the machine... and this is where my Black Friday comes into, bad day at work, then build machine to improve it, ended with bend CPU pins, so now need to go and get a new MotherBoard before I can proceed, will advise.

     

    ok... as for the booting thing, it was a auto mount issue on my MAC, none of them wanted auto boot, I manually mounted the slice1 and then edited the files.

    hi guys

     

    Is this modification for the grub still required.

     

    I've burned the synoboot.img now onto 2 USB's. a 256Mb (windows machine using Win32Disk Imager) and a 4G (MAC using Apple Pi Baker),

     

    And on both once the image is burned I now have what looks like 3 partitions, but neither wants to boot, so can't modify the files.

     

    Wondering if the gub.conf file edit is maybe not a older boot loader steps.... / Hoping.

    Onto which drive does XPenology install

    in General Installation Questions/Discussions (non-hardware specific)

    Posted

    Please check my logic...

     

    I'm thinking of leaving package installs on the default volume (spread/stripped/mirrored over all the HDD's), my reason, volume1 that will be on the M.2 SSD will not be protected (single M2.D), I don't mind loosing PLEX cached data, the media meta data, should something go wrong, that can be rebuild,

     

    I'd rather put the app installs on the 4GB slice on the beginning of all drives, that way even if a drive fails my package installs (+configs) are safe.

    Hi all

     

    figured I should probably also post here as I've posted and chatted to some of the guys in other threads.

     

    George here, from alberton in South Africa.

     

    Using a NetGear ReadyNAS 102 at the moment, as a document/mp3 and Plex Media server.

     

    In the process (placed the last parts order this morning) to build a XPenology, onto which all my various external drives data will be copied, including all the data residing on the ReadyNAS at the moment. Hopefully be done some time next week.

     

    CPU: Intel i5 7400

    MB: Gigabyte+GA-B250M-D3H

    RAM: 16GB RAM DDR4

    SSD: 1 x 128GB M.2 SSD as a /volume1 for Package installs and as a Plex cache location.

    HDD: 6 x 4TB Seagate Ironwolf HDD's configured with SHR/BTRFS /volume2

    PSU: corsair-rmx-cp-9020090-550w 

    USB: 3216-adata-dashdrive-uv150-32gb-usb30-black (nice USB3 stick to go into a USB 3.0 port)

    Current case: 1871-cooler-master-n400-midi-tower-black-atx

     

    Going into a cheap M-ATX case for now, capable of handling the 6 x 3.5 inch drives, will be rebuild into a Fractal Design Node 804 case as soon as I can.

    Onto which drive does XPenology install

    Hi guys

     

    Just curious. so I download the synology boot img onto a USB stick, which is the boot loader. this then the first time ask me to upload the pat file.

     

    Question, how where does it install the pat file if I have multiple drives in the host.

     

    I'm going to have the usb thumb drive internal for the boot loader, I'm installing a 128GB M.2 SSD device which I want to use for the XPenology software install, this will also be my Flex Media Server Cache and meta data storage space.

     

    And then Installing X large drives, was thinking easiest to make sure it all gets installed on the M.2 SSD is to not install the large drives until XPenology is installed. ?
