Please go back to the TCRP MSHELL Loader Build menu and rebuild the corresponding DSM version. We have identified several issues that need to be addressed this way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbat Posted November 22, 2023 Share #5004 Posted November 22, 2023 sorry no joy. I'll wait for the upgrade to you sw. for the record - I m on 0.9.5 (updated) bl. On the new 1.0,0,0 (new installation) - update to U2 it's working. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbat Posted November 24, 2023 Share #5005 Posted November 24, 2023 Good news - after reboot - Friennd BL updated to the new version and all updates (including U3 ) are ok now! So wasn't related with you great M-shell software! Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskyg Posted November 25, 2023 Share #5006 Posted November 25, 2023 hi all, so ive got a i5 4300 cpu 8gb ram lenovo laptop where i am trying to install ds920+ or ds218+ . the loader build goes all the way o issues. but when i try to download and install the DSM it gets to the restarting your NAS 10 minutes countdown than at the end of the countdown it comes back with saying unknown error and i can start to upload DSM manually again, but i will get the same error. if you guys have an input i would apprecaiate it.

alirz1 Posted December 1, 2023 Share #5007 Posted December 1, 2023 Any chance we will ever be able to use nvme drives for dsm install? I would love to setup a xpenology on a hp 800 g6 mini pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please try my mshell. We recommend the new model SA6400, which uses kernel 5.

Chedda Posted December 4, 2023 Share #5011 Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) Hello all, once again with a max disk issue. ESXi VM with an Fusion-MPT 12GSAS SAS3224 PCI-Express HBA passthrough. The backplane holds up to 24 disks. I'm running the latest DSM and everything is fine up to 16 disks.

I think I can see, aside from the great news @Peter Suh regarding the "Fast Transcoding" which at the moment, I assume to be HW, even though the system is built with an AMD by default, is that it's kernel should support 12 Cores and 24 Threads. So depending on your chosen hardware platform to build your NAS, your 918+ might support less than what processor is actually capable of. 🤞🏼 It also supports up to 32GB of ECC (don't know if required) RAM. https://kb.synology.com/en-nz/DSM/tutorial/What_kind_of_CPU_does_my_NAS_have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alirz1 Posted December 11, 2023 Share #5016 Posted December 11, 2023 I don't think the model limits you to the actual number of cpus that be used by the system. Sure dsm might display all the CPU/cores but does that mean the rest are not being used? My 918 is built on a 6core, 12 core CPU. TOP only shows me number of cpus to be 8. I already have HW transcoding. So wondering if the move to SA6400 would be beneficial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have HW transcoding. So wondering if the move to SA6400 would be beneficial Well it's definitely been mentioned here by several people, that the DSM Kernel is hardcoded for the numbers of supported cores/threads, based on model. Of course, maybe that is just. visual thing, in the Info Center, maybe in reality, it uses all there is available, this, I can't remember for sure. I'm on a 920+ which is also build on a 6 Cores / 12 Threads CPU. The 920+ officially is stated to support 4 Cores / 4 Threads, per the link. So if I am remembering the hardcoded support issue right, then we'd like both benefit to the SA6400. Interestingly, my Info Center is showing 6 Cores / 8 Threads. 🤔 I too also already have perfectly running HW Transcoding. Assuming there are no draw-backs from this model. 🤠 Edited December 12, 2023 by gericb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there aren’t any disadvantages I wouldn’t mind switching. It’s just a loader rebuild away otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alirz1 Posted December 12, 2023 Share #5019 Posted December 12, 2023 So reading a bit more into this tells me that the SA6400 is an AMD based system and not Intel. So no Intel quick sync. But may have been added in by an extra add on or something? Seems like probably still best for me to stay on my 918 setup, where everything works and nothing needs fixing.

Synology's original specifications for SA6400 are based on AMD Epyc CPU. iGPU transcoding is only available on Intel CPUs. You can see it as hacked to enable the use of Intel CPU in SA6400 and then transcode to Intel iGPU. SA6400, the only model in XPE that supports kernel 5, is considered advantageous and suitable for new hardware of the 11th generation or higher. There are continued reports of cases where 12th and 13th generation MOBOs, which did not work on XPE kernel 4 models, work on SA6400. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a great machine to test out this whole thing, a Dell XPS 8950 w/12th Generation Intel Core i7-12700K. Throw in a couple of SATA drives, there are even 2 - M.2 2230/2280 slots for solid-state drives that could likely be used for testing caching. It's got a Killer E3100G Ethernet controller (10/100/1000/2500 Mbps) which may/may not be supported even though it's "Intel".

This is surprising to hear, given that Rivet Networks/Killer was acquired by Intel back in 2020. It started out as Bigfoot Networks, then was acquired by Qualcomm in 2011, the got spun out to form Rivet Networks. Qualcomm provided some great ASIC building capabilities, to the product line while they had it. Rivet then later was known to be partnering with Intel and Realtek on various parts offering a standard version under the normal brand or the Killer version with additional network detection and shaping capabilities. I could be missing something, but it would appear all the modern drivers come from Intel. I'm wondering if my previous provided Hardware/Compatible ID (not captured real-time from a running OS) might therefore, be incorrect. In a couple of references, I am reading this might be based on the I225v chipset. Given the acquisition path Rivet Networks went though, I shouldn't be surprised if somehow Intel acquired a Realtek designed part. Are you able to glean any info from the current driver download from Intel? https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19779/intel-killer-performance-suite.html Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the whole merger path and development partnerships that Rivet had, it then begs the question, who's maintaining the driver development, Intel or Realtek. Is Intel really relying on Realtek to regularly release driver updates, for a product line they own...messy to be sure. Latest release combo driver pack from Intel, which includes the E3100G is 10.10.2023 Realtek on the other hand is 11.28.23 Sadly, the package was no help either. Thanks for your detective feedback!
