edit: @haydibe mm is there a problem with 0.11?

You might address this question to the whole community - as everyone uses it 

 

@everyone: is there a problem with 0.11 and the default provided build configurations?

 

Please share the build config you used to get that error - as something must be missing or wrong configured in it.

Also: have you tested the behavior of a freshly extracted 0.11 without any modifications?

@imdgg: you manged to ignore two important things of my post:

 

1. the error is not related to the tool chain builder at all

2. the error is caused by a configuration that is NOT provided by  default

 

You  can see a difference of the type of error pigr8 posted and the one you posted, don't you?

annot change built-in SATA to eSATA by modifying synoinfo.conf! 918+ 7.0.1

As I understand it you shouldn't be modifying synoinfo.conf as it gets overwritten when you upgrade.

 

Read the documentation and you'll see that any changes you want to be make to synoinfo.conf should be put into the synoinfo stanza in <platform_user_config.json before you build your image. This way your changes are also kept outside of the target system and are easier to reuse in the future.

 42218 is not a supported version at present, don't expect extension repos to have everything necessary for it to build


 

I would second this.  It’s relatively easy to get a 918 build working if you understand json and can read compiler errors.  That being said if you can’t, just stop trying and be patient. @Orphée - your 918 repo needed the model changed to 918p and to be pointed at the virtIO build for 4.4.180plus if you care.

HI

is it necessary to change things when building a image to use Virtio Drivers?

 

as i understand the virtio drivers are allready bundled with redpill-load.

 

i build a 918 image and was able to use Virtio-Network without issues, and Virtio-SCSI - but limited to 1 Disk.

https://github.com/jumkey/redpill-load/commit/4538862705ce42cbd443fdfc6cdd90e10ec2cdf4 Finally fixed the error of missing redpill-virtio

@jumkey Would It be better to not have anything on the bundled extensions and instead add extensions on demand ? for instance, In my case where i need to build baremetal and vmware loaders, i dont need virtio

it's the same config as usual, stock debian vm fresh install snapshot, docker, fresh extracted redpill-tool-chain_x86_64_v0.11, in the bromolow_user_config just added sn and mac, then launched build gives that error, meh.. does not apply on the 7.0 build, those work fine.

I had an error with v0.11 when the folder (where I extracted the tool-chain files to) had a "blank" in the name (like: v011 42218). Without blank it worked ok (v011_42218). But I think that is an other error.

Indeed, variabels that require paths needed double quoting. When I saw an unquoted variable, I wrapped it in quotes ... but I am not sure if I cought all of them.

Indeed it is another error.

 

pigr8: do you mind beeing more precise and less ambigous?

I just did a test with DS918-7.0.1-42218 using the virtio drivers and couldn't get the transfer speed above a gigabit per second, so 100MB/s (I have a 2.5gb LAN).

 

When I recompiled the loader with the vmxnet3 drivers and changed the nics in Proxmox to vmxnet3, transfers went up to 250MB/s

 

It seems, despite virtio being speed-independent, DSM does cap it at 1000mb/s max.

 

Maybe a tip for those out there using >gigabit nics.

It seems ok for my 2.5gbe LAN，also use DS918-7.01-42218 with virtio in proxmox 7.0

I don't quite understand what you mean, I just included the redpill-virtio/rpext-index.json file for easy management.

I can wake-up my Intel SS4200 with "wol.exe". I also tried with Synology Assistant, but that only worked once. After that first try I couldn't login to the DSM, there was only a message saying no nas was found. I never used the Assistant wol before, maybe I made something wrong. With "wol.exe" I had no problem so far.

I'm not sure how the Gen8 will will behave, but generally wol works if you use third party tool. If you want to use the Assistant, maybe further work/testing is needed.

 

i haver also tried now with wol.exe, it is also working for me.

One thing does not work, in hardware and energy settings, i have setup that the hdd should go into sleep mode after 30 min and the syno should shutdown after 1h of the sleeping mode. but the hp gen8 stays on all the time.

 

i have installed 7.0.1 on a second gen 8 (test hardware), that should start every sunday for a backup (hyper backup client) from my main syno (also gen8), and after that it should turn off to save energy.

A minor question.

 

Seeing as there are some working (?) drivers for broadcom NIC for microserver — has anyone packaged them for redpill yet?

 

(I assume they should work for gen7 too)
