[One problem led to another! Arc loader]

I'm thinking of moving to ARC loader of my old j3455 (before it was j1900) DSM 7.2-64570 installation - which was before dsm 6.0 surely - maybe even dsm 5 - I'm wondering how to check this btw - the initial dsm version.

 

In any case I found info in ARC wiki - https://github.com/AuxXxilium/AuxXxilium/wiki#important - that dsm v6 have different partitions layout, maybe this is related to your issue @Polanskiman

klez: Thanks, but for exactly? PCIe passthrue for raid adpapter, can you please elaborate? Thx:)

 

That's right!, RAID adapter pass-through using VMDirectPath is the most common use case with XPEnology.

@dise: true that. Weird approach by asrock

 

@AskgopJeJ: bare metal xpenology no. But for instance esxi installation yes.

I would rather wait for this little guy, as it is supporting VT-d

[Virtualbox and phpVirtualbox on XPEnology]

Bridge works if only 1 VM is booted, more than 1 all VMs are non-responsive on the network is what I am seeing.

 

Indeed, the same case here. Booting second VM in bridge mode making Vbox unresponsive. Cannot kill the process, cannot unload kernel module. Only hard restart is helping.

I just tested my new half-sized minipcie dual sata card:

http://www.kalea-informatique.com/mag/fr/product-8723648.htm

 

When this card is mounted, it replaces two of the mobo's sata ports.

 

Bummer it is...

 

However the mini pcie port can still be filled with lan card (with extender) vide http://www.speeddragon.com/index.php?controller=Default&action=ProductInfo&Id=499

 

And regular pcie port could be used for sata card...

[Asrock Q1900-ITX/Q1900DC-ITX]

Yeah it looks great. Thx. It is not available there though. Do you have vendor/model name to look it up elsewhere?

 

Edit: I've found it http://m.ebay.com/itm/111680827228?nav=SEARCH

 

Btw: This looks cool... http://www.speeddragon.com/index.php?controller=Default&action=ProductInfo&Id=499

Hi,

 

Do you happen to know if I can squeeze Syba's mini PCIe full size into this board? - http://www.sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=1354

 

Unfortunately I can't use regular PCIe port - it is used by second NIC.

 

Alternatively I've found this interesting adapter that could solve the problem - http://www.hwtools.net/ExtenderBoard/P22S-P22F.html

[Upgrading to XPEnoboot 5.1-5055.1?]

I skipped a bunch of that doing mine.

 

Put new USB stick in currently running NAS, update, reboot, done.

 

This method is great . Confirmed - working. Thx
