hensu Posted March 5, 2014 Share #426 Posted March 5, 2014 just my feedback by trying the alpha10 for a few minutes. Awesome work. it worked straight out of the box, i have had no problems whatsoever. running on esxi 5.5 on a hp n54l microserver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schulzm Posted March 5, 2014 Share #427 Posted March 5, 2014 Hello, I can issue the command then? I'm not so fit under Linux. I that case can not access the nas still I can do with an attached keyboard inputs. The I217V network card is unfortunately known that this produces trouble on Linux. Have now only times installed a Realtek card, so that Nas is working properly. If you do not have an idea how can I change'd like to test it. Could I get the Alpha 10 version for testing. Thanks and regards Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desq Posted March 5, 2014 Share #428 Posted March 5, 2014 Hi, tested alpha5 on VirtualBox. Works like a charm. I would like to test your alpha10 with Esxi 5.1 on my N54L. (Password appreciated) Regards, desq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheczeh Posted March 5, 2014 Share #429 Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) The Problem.is xens para disks are reflected as xda xdb etc... Syno needs them to be at /dev/sda and so on @gno: Probably that behavior is tuneable in the driver? Nope, but there's a workaround which is a bit ugly or modify the driver but I'm not sure about its side effect. @billy Are you running nested Xen on HyperV? Can you login to console and try running virt-what? No, I am using standard XenServer 6.2 on hardware (Intel Xeon 5130). virt-what returns hyperv... :/ (same as in dmesg...) I digged little bit around and: "dmidecode -s system-manufacturer" reports "Xen" "virt-what-cpuid-helper" reports "Microsoft Hv" "cat /sys/hypervisor/type" reports "xen" I found this mail https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-to ... 00126.html , it seems that because I am not using any specific VM Template for hosting gnoBoot, and using "Other media" option (when choosing Guest OS), Xen uses HVM and emulates some Hyper-V features for Windows 8. To disable this I did: xe vm-list -> get gnoBoot vm UUID xe vm-param-set uuid=2..... platform:viridian=false -> reboot gnoBoot VM virt-what-cpuid-helper now correctly reports "XenVMMXenVMM" and virt-what after prompting for any character reports "xen" and "xen-hvm". So in conclusion making Xen & gnoBoot use paravirt will be fun . Edited March 5, 2014 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark alex Posted March 5, 2014 Share #430 Posted March 5, 2014 Hi Feedback for Alpha 10 with Trantor's DSM Beta 5.0 on ESXi 5.0 I dd'ed the image on sda (64MB LSILogic SCSI Drive - I understood it right, that this version should support that?) and modified menu.lst to default 1 (menu_me) Then modified menu_me.lst to default 2 (DSM 5.0 entry) Afthe the system booted I tried to install the pat using DS assistant and later once again with Web Assistant. Non of both ways worked. The Installation runs very fast (less than two minutes). The VM reboots but reboots into install environment... If iI start a rescue system I can see every disc now has raid partition what means for me it did something... I also did not have to "reflash" gnoboot! //I tried to boot gno-alpha and it worked. Did I understand something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I understand something wrong? Why modify grub menus to default to install option? You only use that option once, then use normal boot after the install. How is your install failing? Error message? If it appears to go through install fine, but reboots back to install again, probably because you changed grub to always boot into install mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If just goes through the process showing the percent of progress. After 100% it just says "Expanding" and I cannot access the storage dialog anymore I am trying this using DSM 5.0 beta I'll let you know in a couple days. Just ordered another WD 3TB Red NAS drive. I'll give it a try on my test system that currently has 3 x 3TB by adding the 4th disk to the array. A while ago, way before gnoboot or xpeneology existed, I was using qnology. I added a disk to expand my array and it blew out my volume. Took a long time of research and help from folks on the internet to get my data off. Basically that data partition got deleted off each disk. I've since expanded an array of a synology VM (wasn't gnoboot), but now I make backups of my partition tables just in case something goes wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldserve Posted March 6, 2014 Share #437 Posted March 6, 2014 I just did the same thing you are asking about. I actually migrated from a dual 3tb shr drive setup from DS213 to hp microserver gen8 running esxi 5.5, gnoboot alpha9 and synology 4.3. I took one of the 3tb drives out and stuck a new one, both in RDM mode so synology saw a Degraded volume. I added another 3tb drive and let it parity check for 1.5 days. After that, I added another 3tb drive and it took 4 days to expand volume. After that, I had to click another option to expand volume but it would stop right away. In the logs, there were comments of file system errors so expansion could not occur. I read some tutorial to log into the shell and run fsck.ext4 and after a reboot, I could expand the volume. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markhaines Posted March 6, 2014 Share #438 Posted March 6, 2014 I've since expanded an array of a synology VM (wasn't gnoboot), but now I make backups of my partition tables just in case something goes wrong What commands do you run to backup the partition tables?

gnoboot Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share #439 Posted March 6, 2014 What commands do you run to backup the partition tables? I think I'll do nye same before expanding. Use sfdisk that's also being use by DSM to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nylund Posted March 6, 2014 Share #442 Posted March 6, 2014 Hi gnoboot, I would also like to try gnoboot on my ESXi (5.1) server. How do I get download URL and PW? I have registered on http://gnoboot.blogspot.com/ a couple of days ago but I have not received anything yet. Sorry for being impatient but I just want to now if I can expect to get it soon. Thanks!

dark alex Posted March 6, 2014 Share #443 Posted March 6, 2014 Some updates about my volume expansion problem: mdstat shows the md5 as a raid5 with 4 disks (seems to be enlarged on disk 4) and no information about the rebuild so it should be OK! But DSM does not let me reboot as its doing work on volumes and also I can not access the storage manager anymore... (It is loading very very long and when I can access it every list is empty. If you stay in an empty list it says network connection failed but DSM is still accessible so it just seems to be an inresponsive service or something similar) But I CAN access my data... The Widget still shows 6 GB size and it is called "Volume 1 (Expanding)" (translated it from german to english) Now I tried to enter the reboot command at the console. After five minutes of no response I used the virtual reset button. Now I was able to start the expansion manually using the "Manage Volume" Button... It worked...

desq Posted March 6, 2014 Share #444 Posted March 6, 2014 Hi, yesterday tested alpha10 with my new Esxi 5.1 Installation. Worked like a charm. Almost too easy. Reconsidering a native install on my N54L. Has somebody a working installation and tested the hibernate/Power-On/Off Bios-Fuckup-problem with gnoboot? That was my Deal-Breaker with Trantors-Image.

Last time, I use dsm 4.2 something, it work, most .mov could view in photo station, Also I got error msg "...coder could not be load/active ... Convention abort ... Or just the dsm problem and I need a fresh installation. Now, I try the dsm on ESXi 5.5 by N40L, it is good and better then VB, Re/wr speed also fast abit. p.s. where could i download "gnoboot-openvmtools-v4" ?? Thank again for your great work!

billytheczeh Posted March 7, 2014 Share #450 Posted March 7, 2014 Follow up for Xen Paravirtualization: uname -a Linux DiskStation 3.2.40 #2 SMP Fri Feb 28 08:52:14 CST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux synology_bromlow_3612xs According to this article http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX121875 , for sucessful paravirt booting it is recomended to do something like this: initrd --omit-scsi-modules --with=xennet --with=xenblk --preload=xenblk initrd-$(uname -r)xen-no-scsi.img $(uname -r)xen which is I guess not an option here.. (disabling scsi modules), anyway booting is then realized by pygrub and kernel is executed with additional params "console=hvc0 xencons=hvc". I hope it is still feasible to paravirt gnoBoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
