I added 2 HD in position 1 and 2 but it will not see them. I rebooted and tried with Storage Manager to setup the 2 additional drives but it seems to be missing options. Can someone help me out. Thanks BTW: Everything works fine, updates and packages but cannot add HD

- Outcome of the update: SUCCESSFUL - DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2.2-24922 - FIRST INSTALL - Loader version and model: JUN'S LOADER v1.04b - DS918+ - Using custom extra.lzma: NO - Installation type: BAREMETAL - ASRock D2550 ITX - Additional comment: None

Yes exactly. It does not seem to see it ... I ordered a SATA USB kit to transfer files from my PC to the DS918+ Not ideal but it will work.

I am using a new built XPE DS918+ box and am trying to add older hard drives loaded with videos and music. How can I get DSM to see the new volumes? Right now I added one and it only sees the main HD. Tried with a couple of addons but no luck.

I wanted to increase my security level since I heard about randow attacks. I deactivated my Admin account and increased the security on my account. Still have access to DSVideo, DSFile etc but no access to DSM. It says "You are not authorized to use this service." Someone had posted a fix a while back using PuTTY with something like this: myaccount:x:1027:100:Administrator:/var/services/homes/myaccount:/bin/sh insert into AppPrivRule VALUES(0,1027,'SYNO.Desktop','0.0.0.0','0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:FFFF:0000:0000','',''); INSERT INTO AppPrivRule VALUES(0,1027,'0.0.0.0','0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:FFFF:0000:0000','',''); grep safer /etc/passwd insert into AppPrivRule VALUES(0,1029,'SYNO.Desktop','0.0.0.0','0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:FFFF:0000:0000','','');" Sorry to say it did not work. What I would like maybe to do is to remove the 2 HD in my 918+ box and insert a new 1TB HD. Reinstall from the USB key a new DSM. Would I then be able to access the old videos, music etc when reinserting the 2 HD? Let me know, it really bugs me. Thanks

OK to come back to this problem. I did try using remote access (PuTTy) and made some security changes but it did not work. So then I rebooted and get 3 choices, number 2 is reinstall. After selecting it everything works but it does not reinstall new and still no admin or other accounts access.

Nope. No one can answer ...

Excellente information Merci

Found a SSH/Linux way of reactivating but still cannot get in. Maybe I have to reboot. https://superuser.com/questions/1191594/cannot-log-in-to-dsm-synology-nas/1402801?noredirect=1#comment2115667_1402801

Yesterday I was modifying the level of security on the accounts, disabled admin one. I've been getting hit recently by someone hiding behind a German IP address. Now I cannot get in my DSM interface, You are not authorized to use this service. is the message Using my admin level, my name, I still can get access using SSH (PuTTY) and DS Video. Also SMB is still working Is there a way without reinstalling DSM to get access back? Thank you.

Thank you

Thanks It worked fine.

OK so I have a good working DS918+ with a proper loader. It is offering to update to the latest (DSM 6.2.1-23824 - Update 2) From update 1 Can I just go and update from within the DSM? Thanks

Wow, so sorry you are not getting any answers ... since October 19 Not sure myself how to go about it. Good luck

Thanks for the reply I was able to reach the person who sold me ''the box'' He redid the boot img on the usb key and it is working well with my new WD 6tb All OK for now. Very slow to transfer files from my old Syno to this 918+ I'll keep reading and figure out a bunch of stuff.

OK so basically the problem is that when inserting the new hard drive it says need to migrate. Then it starts and jams on 56% Do I need to format the hard drive first? Thanks

I got an empty box. Tried to install older drive and system kinda crashed. I reimaged using synoboot.img with Etcher; Disk Imager did not want to work. Was able to boot up but when I try to install manually Disk Station Manager it jams at 56%. Thanks for the help

Thanks for the quick response. It makes sense

I am wondering if I can use the Syno DDNS service? Or should I use an external free one? Do you know of any? Can I also swap the hard drives from my old Syno box into the DS918+ I have and get it running right away?
