Sorry for my stupid question. How use/handle I this driver extension file after download and unzip?

 

How to put it it on booting usb stick ? I use Synologolgy/Xpenology a longer time but I have no Idea how and where to add driver extension file.

 

 

 

I would recommend you use Linux live CD/USB drive to modify your DSM "image" partition.
There is high risk of bricking your device. You must understand what you are doing...

 

Steps:
1.Boot your device with Linux live media.(or SSH into your DSM)
2.Open a terminal and check your "image" partition id with the command "blkid".
3.Locate your boot and image partition,then use command "mount" to mount it.
4.(Optional) Backup whole DSM boot drive into image. "dd if=/dev/hda of=/root/synoboot.img"
5.Now you can copy your new driver extension file to the image partition.

i dont think its a good idea to put a backup on a computer that in case of a problem does not starting anymore

not that it would help much if you have a backup but i'd suggest using the same program as used in the tutorial, Win32DiskImager

https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/latest/download

that 1.0 version also can detect the only a small part of the usb flashdrive is used and only backs up this part

 

for mounting the boot media directly on the running dsm i find the following method easier to handle

 

mkdir -p /mnt/synoboot1
mkdir -p /mnt/synoboot2

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/syno_install_flag
mount /dev/synoboot1 /mnt/synoboot1
mount /dev/synoboot2 /mnt/synoboot2

and if there is a windows 10 computer near you can just stick the usb flashdrive into it and the 2nd partition (with the extra/extra2.lzma on it) will be there as a drive letter

 

i really don't recommend someone who even don't knows the basics to mess around with experimental stuff - i have not seen or received much feedback about the 1.04b extra.lzma, so i still see it as more or less untested

mlx4/mlx5 from the kernel is present, ixgbe (latest) for intel, also bnx2x, aquantia and tehuti

i had hardware for bnx2x and tehuti 10G for testing

so yes 10G is supposed to work but i haven't seen much feedback here

does it make sense to use Driver extension if system is also running without extra.lzma ?

 

i my case 3615xs - 6.2.2 U3 is running fine with LSI 9211 HBA and Mellanox X2 dual port Nic

( HP z230cmt )

 

does the Driver extension have newer drivers with eg besser performance ?

in general i'd say no

in the one i will release soon (i'm writing the text how to install and doculentation) both driver are from the kernel or from synology

had limited success on dsm 6.1 with newer mpt2sas/mpt3sas drivers and as my lsi sas controller does not work on my test hardware i dont want to add drivers that are likely to crash

maybe a can find a different old hardware later that does work with the sas controller

newer drivers for realtek, intel aquantia and tehuti, some people with performance problems on realtek cards might get better results but in general its more about getting newer hardware to work (newer chip revisions, different phy's)

but the 6.2.2 extra.lzma is atm mainly to support a wider base as 6.2.2 breaks the drivers that come in jun's extra.lzma so atm only people with hardware supported by dsm natively can rum 6.2.2

Hello, any news for ds3615xs ?

yes, discovered that lsi 9211 controller do not worked, only mpt2sas driver from dsm itself (6.2.2) does work atm (had to organize a new test computer to get the lsi 9211 with 3615/17 running), still looking whats the cause of the crash, driver loads when controller has no disks connected but crashes when disks are connected

also ata_piix, mptspi and mptsas driver do not work (mostly used for vmware and kvm i guess) , have removed them for now

but network drivers are mostly latest and working

I've tried the last set of extra/2.lzma and it works well for my DS918+ (6.2.2) on top of esxi 6.7. While it's running fine - I'm having issue with mptsas crashing on load when I enabled LSI SAS - is t his expected and similar to what is happening for the ds3615x ? Also I didn't find the mpt2sas in any of the extras bundle - I assume if the former is not working that won't help.

On a side note the atlantic driver also crashed when I tried passthrough of the xc card- not sure if it would work with SRIOV but it's not an option w/ esxi in my case anyway. The card works well with vmnet3 at 10gb under esxi so no biggy there ;)

Thanks!

if you still use jun's extra.lzma then thats kind to expect, after update you usb contains the 6.2.2 kernel and the extra.lzma for the old kernel 6.2.0

i'm looking for someone who can test my new drivers for the native vm-hardware vmxnet3, vmw_pvscsi on 6.2.2

atm mptspi, mptsas so lsi sas and lsi scsi from vmware will not work but hem native vm-hardware drivers should be able to replace them, that would be what you should test (added bonus that you can monitor serial to get console output)

mptsas crashing on load when I enabled LSI SAS

i did only test it on my new hardware so i could not test this

after receiving word that there is a problem with this on the 3615 extra.lzma i looked for a way to test this myself and found that i have the same virtual hardware as vmware in oracle virtual box (buslogic scsi, lsi scsi, lsi sas)

also foud out that the mpt2sas also does not work

? Also I didn't find the mpt2sas in any of the extras bundle -

on kernel 4.4.x (918+) there is only mpt3sas and it contains support for all mpt2 devices, i did test the 918+ with my lsi 9211 so it should work

can't test this one, i plan to start from scratch with 918+ after doing 3615/17 so there will be a new version of the driver to test

i can test it if i only have to swap extra.lzma and debug via serial

ok i send you a link

ata_piix, mptspi, mptsas are not in that package

lsi scsi, lsi sas will not work and you have to change to vmw_pvscsi or buslogic (i tested buslogic driver with virtulabox)
