Please Help me with my 5Big Network 2

[zekkus]

I would like to thanks fvdw for your great guide and support!
I re-alive right now the device! :applause :applause
Great job!

[elvisplatini]

Hi,
I didn't manage to re-alive a 5big2 (bought with 5 1.5 TB disks), either by creating the first disk directly with my linux box (partitions, filesystems, ...), then with the fvdw-sl console. But it worked with blsfsg's disk (on the 4th page of this thread).
I also have 5big 2 bought later with 5 2TB disks. I couldn't replace faulty 1.5 TB disk with 3 TB disk on the "old" 5big2, but it worked to replace 2 TB disk on the more recent one. I noticed that the 1.5TB disks had DOS type partitions, and the 2TB had GPT partitions. I wonder if my old 5big2 has a u-boot firmware that can manage GPT partitions...
Thanks a lot for all your wonderful work.

It depends on the boot loader, if that supports gpt then you can use diks bigger dat 2 TB. The kernel (fvdw-sl) supports gpt partition tables.
But the boorloader must first load the kernel and root file system from a disk. If the bootloader can not read gpt partition tabl;es it can load the kernel.

There are two ways to check if it support gpt.
if you connect to u-boot (serial interface or using the fvdw-sl console) en check for the version it will tell us more
if you have this version

Code: Select all

U-Boot 1.1.4 (Mar 16 2010 - 09:12:35) Marvell version: 3.4.16  LaCie 1.4.4

Then it doesn't support GPT, if it is lacie version 1.3.9 or higher then probably it supports gpt
You can also give in u-boot the command printenv and see if a parameter with name cap is present (cap=gpt,lba64)

Second method
Look in the output of dmesg command (connect via ssh after booting) and search for the line containing the kernel command line.
It can look like this

Code: Select all

Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 ro reset=0 productType=BIG5_KW

or like this

Code: Select all

 Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 ro reset=0 productType=BIG5_KW cap=gpt,lba64

If it is the one that contains the string like this cap=gpt,lba64 then it supports GPT , if it isn't there then it does not and you need an u-boot upgrade.

Thank you soo much..
It works..

One thing that it might be worth mentioning for people like me that are not used to doing this kind of things.

I used the updated version fwdw v5.5
I wasnt sure what standalone file to use
you need to use:
UIMAGE-3142-NWSP2CL-KIRKWOOD-24-standalone

also after:
console is waiting for u-boot (it would stay there a nothing would happen).
tried multiple times with different ips.. and it didnt work.

so I ended up removing everything from my switch (except for computer and 5big2).
disable firewall and antivirus (just in case).
changed the ip to something like 192.168.10.10 for my computer.
and used ip 192.168.10.6 in the fwdw console for the NAS.

found this info in another thread and that did the trick for me at least.

thanks again for the help,,

In case anybody needs to start with fully erased or completely new drives, here's what you need:

I managed to create an clean image with LaCix Linux version 2.2.10.1 from scratch you can dd to your first drive of (almost) any size.
+ Any number of additional drives (0 to 4) only need to be unformatted (no partition table at all).
+ No need to copy anything on those drives.
+ All necessary stuff will be copied at first boot from your first drive (slot 1, /dev/sda).
+ Autoadjusting user space to disks maximum.
+ Full version - no updates applied at all (till now).

I guess there will be a size limit of 2 TB because of its type of partition table.
(Had no drives over 2 TB handy - a GPT might help?!)

:mrgreen:
Hope this helps!

This is what you get at first boot with one imaged and four fresh 1 TB drives:

Please after I tftp the img file onto my drive? what is the command to use? dd + ...
Thanks

[fvdw]

Please explain clearly what is your problem or goal you want to achieve.?

It is not clear from what you have posted, at least not to me

[analogique]

Sorry, I am a rookie in such thing.

I have a Lacie 5big2 with 4x 2TB disks
I have downloaded your image (uncompressed it is 2GB).

What do I need to do?
/ take the HD, erase it and dd your image to it? on os x: sudo dd if=./5bignetwork2_2.2.10.1.img of=/dev/disk5s2
or
/ do I need to follow the steps with fvdsl console and then dd your image on sda2 ?

Because I tried to DD your image on 2 disques and nothing...
But I am pretty sure I am missing something.

(I succeeded many time to have the first disk with Lacie firmware using fvdsl console, but then when I build the RAID it uses the partition of 256 MB and the result is 4x 2TB in RAID equals 256MB... !! all the time...).

Can you help?
Thanks

Hi,

I have been struggling with my 5Big Network 2 for a few days now and Lacie will not support me any longer. I have been through the thread and decided to try this out for myself. I am getting the following error when trying to connect to the dashboard of my unit...ASSERTION FAILED in class: com.lacie.communicationlayer.client.WelcomeRequestHome Associated message: 1 == objectFound.size().

I have begun following this thread and have got as far as step 7 of copying across the firmware and kernel. I obviously do not have these as I get this from the unit...root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ # tftp -l sda7.tgz -r 5big2-sda7.tar.gz -g 192.168.1.2
tftp: server error: (1) File not found

I do have various versions of the firmware, from Lacie, on my machine but Im assuming I cant use these?

Any help would be mightily appreciated.

[fvdw]

The files you need are part of the package in this post :tapfoot
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1402&start=20#p12278

[rob582]

Thanks for the reply. Ive tried this on two of the 2TB disks, that came with the unit, with no luck. After the reboot the unit is just flashing blue and is never recognised by the network assistant. The only way I get it up again is by doing a factory reset. This results in me not being able to access the dashboard again. (just hangs)

I've succesfully updated the firmware, to the latest versio,n but got the same error...ASSERTION FAILED in class: com.lacie.communicationlayer.client.WelcomeRequestHome Associated message: 1 == objectFound.size() when trying to access the dashboard.

Thats when I found this thread and tried it out.

Do you have any advice before i throw the thing out?
