sadsad23 Posted October 24, 2022 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Hello, I came across a Barracuda Terastation TS5600D that did not have disks. On this platform you have to go through a hell hole of problems to get it running again with its original software. So I thought I would give it a try to install the redpill tiny loader. So I downloaded the latest image from: https://github.com/pocopico/tinycore-redpill/releases/tag/v0.9.2.9 Burned it to a usb stick with Rufus. On the back of this NAS there is a mechanical button that will let you select the boot source. I went for USB boot option. Inserted the USB stick and booted the NAS. I also had a monitor connected to the frontal VGA port present on the NAS. It boots in tinycore I went through the install process with the usual commands: From my PC connected via SSH to the ip address configured by my DHCP. Used the following access info: tc/P@ssw0rd Launched: ./rploader.sh update now ./rploader.sh fullupgrade now ./rploader.sh serialgen DS3622xs+ realmac ./rploader.sh identifyusb now ./rploader.sh satamap now (accepted the 6 disk proposed config) ./rploader.sh build dsm-7.1.1-42962 sudo reboot Waited for reboot and fired up Synology assistant, soon the Synology NAS appeared and I connected to it. Selected the relative PAT file and installed. On reboot, reconnected via web and configured the NAS (name password etc.) and the volume. It is working Fine. Tried a file transfer on a SMB share and go 60 Mb/sec on two big files (over 5GB) So terastation can be a cheap option for a good NAS platform. Cheers.
