Mi unit is lacie internet space v1, i hope i can modify linux distro in any form...

I advice you to wait a few weeks maybe someone will find a way to fix it.

But if you can not wait and your nas is really an ISP1 you can try to install our alternative firmware.

That was my original idea, but ...can i do it without access nas web section?

So you need to use this first install package: http://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1750&p=13448#p13448

It contains an installation guideline, wrote by Johan72. Please to read it fully before doing anything.
Be aware that you need to erase all data and if you want to backup the users data, you will need another big disk to make the backup image file.
About this point there is an error in the guide line, the data partition is not "sdb2" but "sdb3" (the biggest partition).

After installing it, the default credential for the web-interface is no longer 'admin' but 'admin-nas' for login.

To restore your data, it is better to restore them before putting the disk in its box:
I assume that the backup image file is /media/USB/sda3-lacie-is500.img
In a shell terminal,
1/ Create a mount point

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir /tmp/oldisp

(use sudo if you are not the root user)
2/ Mount the backup image file

Code: Select all

sudo mount  /media/USB/sda3-lacie-is500.img /tmp/oldisp

3/ Then if you do

Code: Select all

ls /tmp/oldisp

, you should see your data
4/ Reuse the mount point created at the step (n) to mount again sdb8

Code: Select all

mount /dev/sdb8 /mnt-sdb8

(skip this step if you did not unmount sdb8: umount /mnt-sdb8 at this step)
5/ Create a restore share

Code: Select all

mkdir /mnt-sdb8/backup
chmod 777 /mnt-sdb8/backup

(if you use another folder name, you must use only a-zA-Z0-9 chars
6/ copy your data

Code: Select all

cp -rd /tmp/oldisp/*   /mnt-sdb8/backup

7/ after putting the disk in its box, create a share 'backup' in the web interface

That's all...
