[New microserver gen 10 plus]

I made the switch to the 3617xs version based on the latest thread updates.   Had no issue with the 918+ and never checked the CPU cores.   Now I have 4 and back running. Had some issues with the switch but all to do with the bonded links and static addresses - notes to self for next time and switching stuff to a simple base.   

Thank you for pointing out and hope I can get full performance out of the box

Hmm well the script is not working.  Someone posted some trouble with newline conversion due to how they downloaded the script.

 

You might try this:

# tr -d '\r' < FixSynoboot.sh > FixSynoboot.new

# mv FixSynoboot.new FixSynoboot.sh

 

Then try and run manually again.

Nope - I even tried to download again

I download using safari on my Mac - upload using the DSM to a share and copy over to the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ folder 

Just tried with chrome and the same thing -

Did you receive Error 21? (reporting this sort of detail makes diagnosis somewhat easier)

 

Ok, that makes more sense.  Most upgrades do require the availability of synoboot so that the upgrade can modify the loader, so that is quite possibly the issue and you are trying to do to the right thing to resolve it.  That said, it would seem that you have not successfully installed FixSynoboot.sh.

 

Double-check the installation directions.  You must install in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, not /etc/rc.d

 

You should be able to run the script manually in this way (must be root):

/usr/local/etc/rc.d # ./FixSynoboot.sh

 

Then validate that the synoboot devices appear

# ls /dev/synoboot*

Doesn't give an error on the window that I see - just "Failed to upload the file. The file is probably corrupt"

 

I had actually tried running the script earlier before one of the reboots - I thought I had correct - 

root@RubberSoul:/usr/local/etc/rc.d# cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d/

root@RubberSoul:/usr/local/etc/rc.d# ./FixSynoboot.sh

root@RubberSoul:/usr/local/etc/rc.d# ls /dev/synoboot*

ls: cannot access /dev/synoboot*: No such file or directory

 

I did vi the file and there is script in there - I quit without saving

It's not a patch, it is a script that has to be installed and run on every boot.  Its purpose is to make the synoboot device present when missing from your system (which you reported).

 

That said, I don't know why you were "struggling to mount synoboot disk through ssh to update to the newest DSM"

There is no need to mount synoboot prior to update; in fact if you do it probably will fail.

 

It might be helpful if you explain in a little more detail what you are doing and how.

 

 

Sorry, I am getting the image is corrupt when it goes to apply the latest DSM.   sorry for my wording on patch vs script.   The script is in the etc/rc.d folder with the right permissions and I have rebooted a few times.    Not of the synoboot folders show under /dev which apparently will cause the upgrades not to go.   I do not see the USB drives as shares or anything in the GUI so they do not appear to be mounted of anything.   At this point I am just trying to install 6.2.3-25436 Update 2.

This may be of assistance:

Still having no luck - tried applying the patch but nothing.   not sure if I need to wipe my drives and start over?   Using the 918+ image.   Its just getting the update 2 for now that isn't working.  Wondering if I should even bother with fiddling as well

Very new to this and struggling to mount synoboot disk through ssh to update to the newest DSM:

root@RubberSoul:/dev# mount -t vfat synoboot2 /tmp/MountMe/
mount: special device synoboot2 does not exist

Was trying to run unRaid on my new Microserver 10 Plus but kept hanging - I have two Synologys but wanted to try something different and that wasnt really a "hack".  Just installed the 918+ version and was simple - now going to let it run for a bit to see if I have any crashing (rule out a hardware problem) but otherwise its quick and better than my 918+ and 1019+.   Who needs the DS1621xs+ when we have this
