pocopico Posted October 24, 2023 Share #801 Posted October 24, 2023 1 hour ago, Peter Suh said: Thank you for your good comments. As long as the Pat file is downloaded initially and the model and revision are not changed, the function to back up and store the already downloaded Pat file for rebuilding is a feature that has already been prepared. This time, the above function was blocked by using pre-extracted rd.gz and zImage files. I would like to take a more in-depth look at pocopico and copyright-related aspects. I left a related inquiry with him a little while ago. If there is no good way to implement fast loader builds while protecting developers, I am currently considering returning to the original process. thank you Yes you are right with the distrubution of bsp files and at some point i was also thinking about removing them as i now use Fabios patching method in HTML Builder. I just didnt have time to re-engineer the build process in rploader.sh. Having in mind that TTG was very cautious with the distribution of original Syno files, i would like to keep following their rules. It might be critical for us that we are testing many models to build in faster times but for the main user i think its OK to wait for 5 minutes once in a while. The stability plays a great role and i think at that we are all somehow in a very good place. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will think about it for a few more days and plan to go back to downloading the DSM Pat file. I will also take the time to analyze ARPL's patching method. It seems that TCRP should also become free from copyright by completely removing the bsp file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
envision Posted October 24, 2023 Share #803 Posted October 24, 2023 Quick question. I am using peter-suh image with esxi (DS3617xs after software update) and i get: no drives detected. i am not sure how to debug this. is there a way to see if the drive was mounted properly in "image build" OS? i want to make sure my old content is there and that the correct drive is used.

Go back to the TCRP FRIEND loader build screen and As seen in the captured image below Please use the “Show error log of running loader” menu. If an error occurred, you can check the log here. Usually errors are at the bottom of the log. To obtain the error log file, TCRP FRIEND kernel booting must have been performed at least once.

envision Posted October 24, 2023 Share #807 Posted October 24, 2023 Hey Peter, pocopico, I think I just found out the issue. The tinycore-redpill seems to have a regression with DS3617xs when using newer builds. You can see in the screenshots, when using DS3617xs, we are told that no drives are detected - I created a new esxi VM to test this out and i get the same message. once i switch to the DS923+ then i can proceed with installation or migration if i connect my DS3617xs drive to it. I am not sure if it's safe to migrate my DS3617xs to DS923+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your MOBO specs and what CPU do you use? There is no trace in the log that the ahci module was loaded. Do disks in a virtual environment use AHCI mode?

Captainfingerbang Posted October 29, 2023 Share #815 Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) I need HELP! converted 918+ 1.04b dsm 6 eventually to tcrp friend m-shell and its been running fantastic for 6 months? 1 year? Thanks to peter and procopio and all. But now i have major problems. 1st i noticed how slow my all ssd system got. benchmarks shpwed drives like 860 evo 2tb down to 500 read and 40 write speed! But worse now is my boot drive, my usb, now has over 64 partitions of tcrp as you can see in my picture. Honestly im not concerned anymore with WHY it happened, but i backed the whole 11tb up, and now i just want to start back with tcrp friend mshell, but ive only done process once. Im so frustrated. look at this image! thats all my boot usb! Over 64 partitions now? Please i just wanna start back at 7.2 with mshell and tcrp from peter. this 918 using REAL mac and serial and SO important to my family! ps. running e5 2680 v4 x99 16 ddr4 12 quality ssds with write cache turned off.

Just restart the computer with the existing USB, it will download and re-configure/update things as needed. Possibly only requiring "build the loader" with the current DSM to get all changes implemented.... 🥳 Thanks Edited October 29, 2023 by gericb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartAcid Posted November 2, 2023 Share #817 Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Hi, I just migrated from DS918+ on Z230 SFF, first to ARPL DS920, and now for testing to DVR1622 on m-shell. Everything is working. All upgrade is OK. As I remember TCRP has faster VM than ARPL and i can see it. Everything is working on Z240 Sff with i7-6700T. Even m.2 navm storage pool is working, error about unsupported disk typ gon after repair pool. I cant only see that i have m.2 disk in slot as i could see in DS920 on ARPL. I have 2 questions 1. LAN card in HP is i219-LM but m-shell and also new ARPL recognise as e1000. 2. Second card (WiFi USB - just for test) is not recognised in free time i need to test hardware transcoding is working, and find ip cam to check face recognition. In AME everything looks good Great job with loader. Edited November 2, 2023 by BartAcid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
