How to install nanoboot to internal SSD

Hi all,

 

i would like your help on this subject: from a previous project i still have an SSD around so i would like to run my OS from the internal SSD instead of the USB drive. Many guides are available on how to create a bootable USB drive, both in linux and windows, but could somebody explain me how i can install nanoboot on the SSD that sits currently inside the server running DSM of a USB drive?

 

Currently the following disks are connected:

DiskStation> df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0                  2.3G    551.3M      1.7G  24% /
/tmp                      3.7G    684.0K      3.7G   0% /tmp
/dev/vg1000/lv            3.6T    288.9M      3.6T   0% /volume1
/dev/sdu1                30.8M     12.3M     18.6M  40% /volumeUSB1/usbshare
/dev/vg1001/lv          105.6G    188.0M    105.3G   0% /volume2

/dev/md0 is the USB drive, /volume1 is my storage drive & /volume2 is the SSD where i would like to copy nanoboot to.

 

I only have a laptop available, so connecting the SSD to another system is not possible. Only possibility i see is boot regular Ubuntu from the USB, mount the SSD & do the same process as i did on my laptop to previously make the USB drive bootable. Hope there is a faster option available though so i can do the same through SSH on DiskStation OS.

Sorry I can't help in what you're asking, but it's worth pointing out that you only boot from USB - the OS is actually on your storage disks (distributed redundantly if you have more than one). You might be embarking on a world of pain for very little value.

Stop thinking that you want to run DSM from a SSD. It's not working and it's not worth it. Period.

 

Your DSM is feeling way better on all HDDs from the volume you have than on an SSD
