ETHERNET_BD

[iranonfr]

hello,
First thank for the great job you did^^
1/ I have test the isp1 firmware on a 2HDD ETHERNET BIG DISK which have the "same hardware" as a EDMINIV2, except the 2 sata ports.
The firmware work as expected for EminiV2 (power switch and led bug ) but only when there is one drive. As soon as i put the second drive, system hang up after or during uboot i guess.
SO i was wondering if someone have already tested succefully to put back the 2 drive or if this is possible to put them back with this firmware . Original drive are in raid (linear) mode .
BTW i did test with new drives ;)

2/ during uboot the ethernet card is at 100MB, but all my network is 1000MB, cables are ok with other hardware/computer, so is it possible to force GB ?

3/ firmware upgrade didnt worked, had to made it manually, but it works now ^^ (decompress the bin, write the img, ....)

regards .

thanks for this feedback, for sure we can solve this. We need some more information, which firmware version are you running now ?

[iranonfr]

I am using the last one (fvdw-sl-16-0 firmware for lacie internet space v1 and edmini_v2).
The only thing to know is that i had to "decompress" the bin file and then the no name file, get the img and the tar file of the partiton 5, and put them manually, as auto update was failing , for 15.1 to 15.2 or 15.3 or 16.0.

no more bug since 16.0 but same restriction as 15.1.

Hi iranonfr,

no more bug since 16.0 but same restriction as 15.1.

Currently, the firmware handles your NAS as an unknown platform and then you can not upgrade it.

I assume that you have a root access.

A print screen of the console program when i have 2 drive attached :

uboot ethernet BD.jpg

nothing happen after ....

I see nothing wrong with the kernel, it detects the two sata ports

Code: Select all

I think the problem is again the way Lacie has set up the bus number
Look at this, with one disk

Probably the second disk is attached to bus 0:0:0:0
If you insert a second disk then the bootloader will see the new disk as sda and also the kernel, as there is no kernel on the new disk it will load the the kernel from sdb, you can also see that in the output of the serial console it uses hdb6 to load the kernel. Then the kernel tries to load a root filesystem from sda, the new disk and fails as it has none.

What you could do is swap the disks, put the disk with the firmware in the other slot and the second disk in the slot were previous the system disk was. Probably then everything will be fine

disk swap already check, i've got an error early in console and not loading partiton.
I tried this afternoon to create a raid linear , as in lacie, but it seems that MD driver is missing
(modprobe md give an error and lsprob dont show md) so i suppose that raid is not supposed to be used in this firmware :-)
at least, i can wait the failure of one drive and use it standalone with a 2TB drive, with a speed of 8MB/S one drive is enough ^^

Currently, you should stop to try to create a linear raid.

First there is no advantage in having a linear raid with big disk and the firmware can handle your both disks as single disk or raid1 but need to update at least codes.

The issue is not with the raid.

:scratch
what error do you exactly get ?
can you also post the output of the serial console when booting with 1 disk
Did you try booting with 1 disk connected to the different sata interfaces , do both work with only 1 disk

Indeed not in the kernel for isp1 as it is a single disk, it could be added easily by recompiling the kernel



Speed should be higher then 8 MB/s, the kernel seems to set Ethernet card on gigabit speed, see you dmesg output

Code: Select all

[   42.128356] mv643xx_eth_port mv643xx_eth_port.0 eth0: link up, 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, flow control disabled


u-boot may use lower speed but that is not relevant after the kernel initialize your device
