later it appeared that it concerned a Lacie internet space and not network space
Today I tried installing the fvdw firmware on my Lacie Network Space 500Gb.
I have little to none experience with linux versions, I'm a typical microsoft windows (power) user.
Downloaded the Ubuntu live CD, and following the guideline I managed to succeed upon procedure step (k).
I have tried many times somehow, even tried skipping step (k) and try out step (l).
With step (l), I get the same error/message.
I'm using an HP desktop with windows7, I booted it with the Ubuntu 11.04 x86 live CD.
The image/package files are stored on an 4GB USB stick, in rootdirectory. (label: USB)
The LaCie 500GB SATA disk is connected using an external USB/SATA docking.
With gparted I managed to figure out:
- USB stick /dev/sdd
LaCie disk /dev/sdb (like in manual)
As mentioned I succeeded in steps (a) throughout (j).
- Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00093cae
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 32 257008+ 83 Linux

/dev/sdb7 146 178 265041 83 Linux
/dev/sdb8 179 60801 486954216 83 Linux
On step (k), I entered the following commandline:
sudo dd if=/dev/sdd/uImage-26331-2 of=/dev/sdb6
which gives me the following result:
- ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/sdd/uImage-26331-2 of=/dev/sdb6
dd: opening `/dev/sdd/uImage-26331-2': Not a directory
I get exactly the same result on step (l).
I assume it's all to blame to my lack of linux knowledge/experience.
Somehow I can't get the syntax right.
