jagwaugh Posted October 6, 2014 #1 Posted October 6, 2014 Does DSM support IDE drives at all? I haven't got an IDE disk other than the cdrom, which I boot my bare metal from, and adding an ide to a VM doesn't get recognised, but I'm not sure if this is due to the VM, the nanoboot, or just that DSM doesn't "do" IDE.

Dfds Posted October 6, 2014 #2 Posted October 6, 2014 I believe that DSM only works with sata drives.
jagwaugh Posted October 6, 2014 Author #3 Posted October 6, 2014 so here is the wierd thing: I just added an IDE adapter & an IDE drive to a VM. when I restarted the machine it shows up as /dev/sdm. I then did sfdisk -M0 /dev/sdm Which sets it to Dos Style Partition. Then it shows up in the GUI as eSata, but unformatted, so I formatted it as ext4. Now it appears as satashare1-1 in filestation, and I can read and write to it. Is this somehow peculiar to virtualbox?
chege Posted October 6, 2014 #4 Posted October 6, 2014 i was able to run xpenology on bare metal with 2 IDE + 1 sata disks with no problem. just 1 of IDE disks still got overheated, but i think its not related with xpenology. DSM 5.0-4493
underw3b Posted October 6, 2014 #5 Posted October 6, 2014 I'm curious so I just ordered an adapter IDE to SATA on ebay for 10 dollars. I'll tell you if it'll work as soon as i get it
underw3b Posted October 10, 2014 #6 Posted October 10, 2014 Just for you to know, I tried with an adapter IDE to SATA but my Motherboard doesn't recognize my HDD anymore
underw3b Posted October 11, 2014 #7 Posted October 11, 2014 EDIT : my bad. It's working with an adapter IDE to SATA, i forgot to put my HDD in SLAVE ^^ Xpenology recognize my HDD now ! Great ! Thank you jagwaugh !!
