I got a dozen flash drives: Alcor, Phison, USBest, Chipsbank, Appotech... got more than a dozen different programs, none of them sees any of the drives that I connect.. I managed to dump my DOM, now I need to inject it in some USB key, alas I just can't reprogram the PID VID... My USBest key was damaged, I downloaded a reviving tool, which worked. Then I used the tool that Whool linked in his post, and finally was able to give this key the proper attributes. I swapped the power Supply for the one in my DX510 ... added a new battery, none of that would work, obviously, until I found this thread about the DOM. My DS1513+ has now booted from this drive. AMAZING !! I wonder if it's worth ordering a new DOM, of just sticking with USB keys... But now, given that it boots from the key, maybe I can make it believe that it is running on a DS1515+ and get the next DSM upgrades ?

Hey, I spent several hours to get the my alcor drives recognized by the program... I downloaded countless others to no avail... I just can't edit the PID / VID. would you have some tutorial handy to proceed with this ? thanks a lot

I had do this I edit my file codecpatch.sh and added my system: 7.2.1 69057-3 like here: then i run: ~$ sudo bash /volume1/web/codecpatch1.sh -p Password: Detected DSM version: 7.2.1 69057-3 Patch for DSM Version (7.2.1 69057-3) AVAILABLE!

It was so. After formatting all the drives, we were able to install DSM.

Of course it's removed. I think changing the bootloader is my last option because I also tried: 1. Connecting the OTG cable to the USB DOM connector directly and use the same USB stick - does not boot. 2. The original USB DOM in Windows is detected as USB 2.0, but in Synology - it does not boot. It seems to me that my USB DOM connector on the motherboard is faulty. I will still try to connect to the terminal and check the booting.

Here's the problem. Changed flash drives, rebuilt the bootloader several times, but the problem persists. After the command: ./boot.sh booting goes normally. I will be grateful for any help.

There is. First replace the existing drive database files with a clean copy. Download https://global.synologydownload.com/download/DriveUpdate/SynoOfflinePack/731/SynoOfflinePack-ds918%2B-731.sa to your NAS. Go to Storage Manager > HDD/SSD > Settings > Advanced. Go to the Drive Database section and click Manual Update. Click Browse and select the update pack you downloaded. Click Update. Refresh the browser tab then check in storage manager if your drives are supported. If they are still showing "unrecognized firmware" then run https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db/releases/tag/v3.4.82 via SSH, close and reopen storage manager.

Only if the drives are showing their status as Critical

Someone had either Micron or Crucial NVMe drives and they'd go bad after a few days. They had them replaced a few times then eventually they bought some Samsung NVMe drives and the problems stopped.

ok thanks well i keep getting the problem with my Micron 1100 drives where the system decides that one of them has gone bad and I have to take it wipe it out and repair every time. It's happening every single day so every day I'm having to do this at least once. Can I go into a setting somewhere to where I make this stop?

Hello, I was using an Xpenology NAS under Arc Loader on an ESXI (I5 12400 + 80 Gb of RAM) and I migrated the NAS in baremetal mode to an HP Probook G3 mini PC, I mounted my 2 old 4 TB hard drives via USB. The goal is to migrate everything to SSD. I had a Raid 1 of 2 4TB HDDs. I removed an HDD that I was thinking of replacing with a 2.5" 4TB SSD to reform the RAID except that it is not possible to mix two different types of disks hard (hdd, ssd...), is there a possibility to do this? I was planning to do an F1 raid with an internal 2.5" SSD, 1 nvme SSD and a 2.5" SSD connected via USB, is it possible to pass everything off as SSDs of the same type or even HDD for create a single storage pool. Xpenology is installed with the DS918+ model Thanks

Hi guys! I need to come up with a backup strategy for all of my home devices and strongly need advice on this one! We have 4-5 PCs + a couple of MACs + 10+ mobile devices. I want to have a local backup + a cloud backup for added security. What I intend to do at the moment is to subscribe for Backblaze Personal Backup plan. This will allow me to backup one of my PCs and whatever USB hard drives and internal drives connected to it. So this PC + the attached HDD are backed up. I can easily backup all my other devices to my home XPEnology NAS. Then I'll need to sync the data on the NAS to the HDD that's attached to the PC on the home network. What's the best way to organize this last step? Synology Drive Server/Client? Some other solution? Or do I need to rethink the whole thing altogether? Please share your thoughts and/or how you've arranged your backup!

Hi there! Iam setting up a Xpenology NAS and have trouble with the satamap command. First my Hardware: i3-12100 Biostar B660GTN (ITX board with 4 Sata Ports) 3x Crucial MX500 1TB SSDs 16GB RAM I used THIS guide to install DSM7 but have some trouble with the satamap command. It looks like this: Found "00:17.0 Intel Corporation Device 7ae2 (rev 11)" Detected 8 ports/3 drives. Bad ports: 1 2 3 4. Override # of ports or ENTER to accept <8> Computed settings: SataPortMap=8 DiskIdxMap=00 WARNING: Bad ports are mapped. The DSM installation will fail! I searched and found THIS post. So i tryed the "dmesg |grep sd" command and got my 3 SSDs and my USB stick: [ 0.690617] sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] 1953525168 512-byte logical blocks: (1.00 TB/932 GiB) [ 0.690731] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] 1953525168 512-byte logical blocks: (1.00 TB/932 GiB) [ 0.690839] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] 1953525168 512-byte logical blocks: (1.00 TB/932 GiB) [ 2.722473] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] 242614272 512-byte logical blocks: (124 GB/116 GiB) So i tryed to put in: SataPortMap=41 (4= 4 Sata Ports - 1 = one USB stick) DiskIdxMap=48 (4 because the first ssd is 4:0:0:0 - 8 because the usb stick is 8:0:0:0 But when i build the bootloader and restart the system i get some error (no drives found or something like that). Is my understanding of the satamap command wrong? What kind of settings should i use? Pls help Thanks!

In storage manager RAID 1 has a maximum 4 drive limit. All other RAID types have a 65,536 drive limit. https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_M2_volume/wiki/RAID-min-and-max-drives

Exactly, nvme and sata drive would waste the speed of nvme Are there any sort of limits on nvme drives? Say i have 5 pcie slots capable of nvme, could i fill each slot with one or more nvme ssds and (hypothetically) create a raid 0 from them all? Or is this storage limited to shr etc?

Version 3.4.x of syno_hdd_db.sh allows you to: Create a storage pool on NVMe drives in a PCIe card. Create a storage pool combining NVMe drives in the mobo's M.2 slots and NVMe drives in a PCIe card. Before version 3.4.x you needed to use syno_create_m2_volume.sh to create the storage pool. I used storage manager to create an SHR storage pool spanning 2 NVMe drives in a E10M20-T1 and 1 NVMe in the mobo's M.2 slot. There were a couple of minor GUI issues in storage manager: Storage manager shows both mobo M.2 slots as used even though there is only 1 slot being used. Clicking on either of those M.2 slots opens the info for one of the drives in the PCIe card. I could fix those issues, but I'm busy with other things at the moment. For your 2nd question, storage manager won't let you create a storage pool with different drive types. It is possible to make it work, but why would anyone want to.

Well i cant imagine that this website or any other are willing to purchase you an ssd for testing purposes. Plus the fact that there arent many of these drives around, or at least not cheap, its looking like the chances of you being able to test are not good. I wouldnt expect you to go out and purchase either. These are newer drives, maybe someone would be willing to part with this for testing. These are TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan

Dear Tomte, I have one more question. How did you make a power cable for hard drive? I understand, that you used a SATA connector from one sidе, and what connector did you use from other side? And where did you connect it to the motherboard? Best regards, Oleg

Anyone else seen this problem? Everything working fine until yesterday. I had a small SSD drive (drive 5) which I used as volume 1. Volume 2 has 4 x 1GB Western Digital Drives all showing as healthy. Drive 5 (Volume 1) has disappeared with the log entry of the title. I am unable to access Volume 2. Changed drive 5 (Volume 1) for another perfectly working SSD. Only to see the same problem with the same log entry. Any ideas?

@Peter Suh yesterday i upgraded Xpenology from 7.1.1 (Juns mod) to 7.2.1 using your latest tinycore-redpill-m-shell release and i found a HUGE issue - modules required by ScsiTarget (SAN Manager) are not loaded and Virtual Machine Manager service does not work. It`s easy to reproduce (on baremetal and proxmox): 1) install fresh TCRP: i tested DS920+ and DS923+ with DDSML 2) SAN Manager is installed by default (and it`s working) so install Virtual Machine Manager 3) reboot Xpenology 4) SAN Manager and VMM has warning (both are stopped and cannot be repaired) In logs /var/log/iscsi.log we can find On working Synology NAS on logs i found: Those modules ARE NOT loaded right now. But when i load all those modules manually via "modprobe" then repair SAN Manager package and it works!! but only to the next reboot In /var/log/messages i found maybe this will be some clue Then i tried build redpill with selected EUDEV instead of DDSML but result was the same. With DDSML+EUDEV still the same. another thing which i didnt understand is why under proxmox, synology detect synoboot drive as first disk?? Should be 2 drives, not 3. on baremetal this issue is not appear Then i downloaded tinycore-m-shell 1.0.0.0, mounted as sata0, compiled DS920+ DDSML SAN Manager still doesn`t work BUT at least this fixed drive list (synoboot disk disappear from list) The last one what i did was compile DS923+ DDSML and migrate from DS920+. First boot after migration and SAN Manager works (VMM also)! but after reboot both failed. i gave up 😕

Hello, I am trying to install the DSM on the following computer: Intel Core i5-12400F 4.4GHz Gigabyte B660M DSH3 AX DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 PC4-25600 16GB 2X8GB CL16 Black Aerocool CS-105 USB 3.0 Black/Red with Window Crucial SSD 1GB 2 SATA 2TB Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 Gaming G1 WindForce OC 4GB GDDR5 I have tried with the arl, arc and redpill loaders, loading the r8125 module, since my integrated network card is a Realtek 8125BC 2.5GB, the fact is that with all the loaders, when DSM is loaded it crashes, I cannot find the DSM from find.synology.com or from the wizard. It has only worked for me once, with an "arpl" loader that failed yesterday, I put the same loader today and it found it, the installation started, it detected the hard drives and the formatting crashed, after more than half an hour, I reset, I tried those disks again in Windows and I had made 3 partitions, one of 8GB, one of 2GB and the remaining unallocated space. After that successful connection, it has not worked again in any way. You know that it may be due?

Every king of installation on Virtualbox of 7.2 got SAN Manager corrupted. I got back to 7.1 using Pocopico Loader. I got a lot of problems because my system is not that powerfull, so I had to do step by step. I installed 7.1.1-42962 Up 1. on just one disk, but I had to use "./rploader.sh satamap now" with only one HDD and 2 sata controlers to the box to be able to right map sata ports. The loader had to be alone in one sata controller. HDD attache to this controller was not detected. after everything is stable I set the third sata controller and split all HDD to controllers 2 and 3. I`m using 5 disks plus loader. Ass soon the raid 5 is established I`ll do upgrades up to 6.

Hello I recently build my first diy nas and installed DSM 7.2.1 using latest arc loader. CPU: Intel N100 Memory: Crucial DDR5 16GB CT16G48C40S5 The system always boot fine but may only work smoothly for a short period of time ,sometime hours with the longest being 4 days. Then it would become unresponsive where i cannot access the 5000/5001 port or any of the docker service i am running, it will just keep loading with white screen. But strangely, I can see traffic in my wireguard app installed on my phone connected to WG-easy docker container running with the wireguard spk on my nas. After hard reboot the nas will work fine again. Sometime it may also run into some docker container error which require reboot to restart the container . the funny thing is, it wont soft reboot or shut down once the problem appear, it will stuck in the "system is getting ready" page for more than a hour. Again hard shut down is required. I ran the memory test for 3 times where the first two pass without error but the third time return with "memtest failed err = 1". What is err = 1? I see most people encounter err =4 or 6. Is it confirmed that the memory is faulty even tho it pass the first 2 run? Thanks!

It seems there is still some missunderstanding with SataPortMap values. SataPortMap works with 1 digit matching a sata board. The number you assign limits the number or disks detected on each sata board. I you set : 12 : First sata board will only have one disk detected, and second sata board will detect only 2 disks. Your current settings limits your sataboard to 6 disks max, and 2nd Sata board is not configured at all, so default is used. In the beginning you should try to remove SataPortMap and DiskIdxMap and check how it is handled/detected. If with this (wrong) settings you only see 6 disks instead of the 7... maybe it means sata board are detected reversed, and your first sata is actually the 8 ports. So SataPortMap would be more like 86 (8 disks for first sata board and 6 disks for 2nd sata board). Regarding DiskIdxMap, it works with 2 digits for each sata board. and match the one digit from SataPortMap This parameter defines the start position of the first disk from each sata board. If you set DiskIdxMap = 1000 you actually say : First disk sata board 1 will begin in position 10. First disk sata board 2 will begin in position 0. As you already know, disks are labelled with letters starting from /dev/sda So position 0 is "a" and position 10 is like "k" So regarding DiskIdxMap=1000 you force first sata board disk 1 to begin at /dev/sdk, and you force first disk from sata board 2 to begin at /dev/sda and depending of the SataPortMap value you set earlier, you may limit available disks... If your sata controller has 8 ports but you limit SataPortMap single digit to 6, last 2 slots from your sata board won't be detected. You should never randomly take these values from a tutorial without understanding them. Most of the time there are not needed, they only help to "order" the disks in DSM GUI to make something cosy. Only some times you have to specify it to fix undetected sata controllers or disks when there is like 3 sata boards etc... As an example on Proxmox Q35 VM machines, there is a dummy Sata board controller unused. When you don't set SataPortMap / DiskIdxMap, the first disk shown in DSM GUI is always empty. So on Q35 VM machine, configuring it as "SataPortMap=18 DiskIdxMap=1000" you say there is only one disk on 1 sata bard controller, and move the first dummy sata controller board to /dev/sdk And you say there is 8 disks on sata controller board 2 (the real one used on the VM) and says the first disk start at /dev/sda But this is only to have something "pretty" on DSM GUI. You could let it without any settings, the first slot(s) would be empty in DSM, but it would work as usual.

Hello, 1. I bought it simply at Ebay. In Germany,, the prices seem to be lower. Look for Futro S920, it should show up. (when shipping to Estonia is an option) Don't buy the cheaper S720 or S520. 2. Correct, both SATA ports work at the same time. You can get a msata to sata adapter card from chine for lower than 5€. With DSM/Xpenology, the OS is installed on all available HDDs, no choice, as much as I know. 3. I am running a Raid 1 system with two 931.5 GB drives. I get 921GB Space, therfore, DSM took about 10GB. Regards, Tomte
