  1. DISCLAIMER!

    I’ll take no responsibility for any loss of data or any other problem caused by following this tutorial.

     

    Reinstall DSM (eg 5.2-5644) without losing the data on Volume:

     

    01. Enable SSH if it`s not & connect to SYNOLOGY

    02. Open & edit the file \etc.defaults\VERSION

    03. Exchange the data with one of previous ver.:

    majorversion="5"
    minorversion="2"
    buildphase="0"
    buildnumber="5592"
    builddate="2012/12/05"

    04. Save & Exit

    05. Restart Synology

    06. Launch Synology Assistant

    07. Click 'Search'

    08. If you've done everything correctly you'll see a new 'DiskStation' has been found.

    09. Disconnect the USB flash drive from the computer for this next step

    10. Right-click the new 'DiskStation' and choose 'Install'

    11. Browse and select the same version (5.2-5644.pat) which U already running

    12. Choose a Name for the DiskStation, a new default admin password and IP configuration

    13. After installation is complete the DiskStation will reboot automatically.

    14. Power it OFF manually now

    15. Isert the same USB Flash drive (5.2-5644.img) back into PC

    16. Power on PC & DSM will boot normally

    17. In Synology Assistant click 'Search' again

    18. Depending on the name and network config you chose during installation you will see now a DiskStation has been found with the NAME you chose.

  2. I must thank you all for your input, lots to read up for now maybe some more questions later, I think the i5 route is key for me. and as was said earlier atom cpu's are limited in the transcoding world and not to sure if 8 cores would be supported by the Xpenology not that i was thinking of going that route. Just going to start the VMware requirements and will take more advice later.

    Why is it that the supported hardware list does not show suitable motherboards reading through chip controllers is a pain unless i missed something obvious.

    Will be added in next version, good idea =).

  3. I run ownCloud on my Xpenology, is fast =).

    As for security camera's, i don't know how your russian is, but in the russian forum section i've seen a Survailance station with 99 cam license.

    How many camera's are you going to attatch? Will they record 24/7 or just when there is motion?

    I don't know the plex preformance of the C2550 maybe another user can shine some light on this.
