Virtualbox redpill TC DSM 7.0.1 - can not create volume

[Casper1982]

Hello,

 

I have successfully installed DSM 7.0.1 42218 with TC redpill in virtualbox on a virtual ds3622xs+

 

I've added 2 HDD's as data drives and there both visible in DSM.

When I want to make a storage pool and volume I get a error that the entry for the field modify allocated size is invalid.

 

Even if I choose MAX (which is 3) I still get the error. No matter if I choose 1 or 2. Google on this error did not give me a solution. Anybody knows what is going on?

You drive sizes are too small , you cant create volumes under 10GB . 

From website:-

 

The minimum volume capacity must be at least 10 GB.

Volume capacity of less than 1 GB cannot be used. For example, only 100 GB is usable if the total capacity of a volume is 100.5 GB.

thank you!

 

sometimes the solution is simple.....

The minimum single disk size for DSM 7.x is now 21GB.  8GB reserved for DSM (/dev/md0), 2GB for swap (/dev/md1) and 10GB for data volume.

@Casper1982 how did you manage to install DSM 7.0.1_42218 on VirtualBox ? can you share your .vbox configuration file ?

 

reason is I'm having no success in VirtualBox with the DSMv7.x series either with TCRP loader method or with a possible update path from last working Jun's Loader DSM 6.2.3-25426 (in te latter update case i get an "Unknown Error (21)"

 

- whereas in the case of a direct TCRP install procedure the loader boots upto BusyBox but fails to use the loaded e1000e module which results in

ip: ioctl 0x8913 failed: No such device

and no eth0 network interface hence stuck there.

This happens for all TCRP scripts v0.4.6, v0.8.0.1 and even the dev version of v0.9.0.2 and both later DSM v7.0.1.x and v7.1.0.x its always the same message above

 

I have tried configuring the VirtualBoxes with other Network adapters as well , even the ParavirtualizedNetwork (virtio-net) and can see the module loaded but no network interface.

 

PS: I'm runnung VirtualBox as the host on a Windows 10 PC !
