DSM 7.1, /etc/synoinfo.conf & /etc.default/synoinfo.conf both unable to retain value change of maxdisks and internalportcfg on reboot

[rayy]

Hi guys, sorry but couldn't get any search result to my issue here.

I'm on DSM 7.1 using TinyCore loader DS3622xs+.  The issue I'm facing is that I can only get 16 disks max.  After doing some research, I know that I must mod the two values maxdisks and internalportcfg at both the /etc and /etc.defaults.  However, after doing so, the values I modded will also revert back to original after a system reboot.  

 

So again, by default, the synoinfo.conf at both /etc and /etc.defaults contains:

internalportcfg = "1xffff"

maxdisks = "16"

 

I modified these value at both directories to:

internalportcfg = "1xffffff"

maxdisks = "32"

 

But as soon as I do a system restart, these two values will go back to default.

 

Some more background.  I'm using SSH, and have wrote the files using both vi and nano.  I have previously adjusted other values, which have remained as intended.  My drives are connected through a HBA card LSI-9220-8i.  Another weird thing, is that my set up will not allow me to use the sata drives on motherboard and drives on HBA at the same time.  When I try, my number of drives is reduced to a random 6 disks on the HBA card.  Not sure if that's related.  But right now, I just want to solve the issue of the values in synoinfo.conf not retained after system reset.  Thanks guys.

@-iliya- is working on the same topic, I suggested removing any disk config entries in user_config.json, see thread

You are right.  it's 0x......, not 1x......

That was my typo.

Are you referring to the user_config.json on the loader?  If so, is it under the /lastsession folder?  Thanks.
