Rhubarb Posted August 10, 2016 Share #26 Posted August 10, 2016 Okay, I finally cracked mounting synoboot for 5.2. Here's the updated instruction. First, ssh into your box as root. Create your mount dir Diskstation> mkdir -p /mountUSB Find the next free loopback device. Mine shows /dev/loop0 from a fresh boot. Diskstation> losetup -f /dev/loop0 Setup the loopback device to use /dev/synoboot with offset 32256. NOTE: 32256 = 63 sectors * 512 bytes Diskstation> losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop0 /dev/synoboot <<<<< typo error {I accidentally typed 32556 here not 32256 as shown} Any advice please on what to do to undo this error: ~ # losetup -f /dev/loop0 ~ # losetup -o 32556 /dev/loop0 /dev/synoboot <<< {should have been 32256} ~ # mount -t vfat /dev/loop0 /mountUSB mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /mountUSB failed: Invalid argument Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpee Posted September 23, 2016 Share #27 Posted September 23, 2016 Some posts point to this page as a solution to hide usb drive from DSM. I'm the second to confirm it doesn't work for me. Also stuck at error "No such file or directory". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
