Please Help me with my 5Big Network 2

:thumbup

About size, there is no bug,53TB the data partition (sdx8) size is around 0.906TB so a raid0 size 4.53Tb is right

ok, it makes sense...I thought that was referring to each drive's size. all perfect then! :-D

Now off to try RSyncing from my QNAP to Lacie...If this is ever possible...

[Nick Wolf]

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...
and you need an u-boot upgrade.

Alas I have NAS with this u-boot version and 3TB HDDs.

Which u-boot is correct for 5Big Network 2 upgrade?

[fvdw]

Currently there is no u-boot image included in the fvdw-sl console for a 5big2.
Until today I never saw a 5big2 with no gpt support.

Are you sure that you have that version of u-boot as you posted.
I suggest that you use th fvdw-sl console en use u-boot console action to verify your version (the quote you made was for a nwsp2)

This is what I got from my 5big2

Code: Select all

provided by fvdw
waiting for u-boot..
starting u-boot net console click on window and press enter

also give the command Marveell>> printenv and look for this line in the output

Code: Select all

uboot_capabilities=gpt,lba64

If you have that it supports gpt

if not and indeed your version doesn't support gpt I need either to compile a u-boot version for the 5big2 or make a copy from u-boot in flash of my 5big2

Until today I never saw a 5big2 with no gpt support.

;)

[fvdw]

indeed this has an older u-boot version

Also this seems to be one with spi flash instead of nand flash. meaning it was sold complete with disks. My 5big2 was disk less version and has a different flash containing lacie firmware. So you cannot use a copy of my version

I think Jock has also a 5Big2 with spi flash, I will contact him to make a copy from the flash containing u-boot in case his 5big2 has a newer version of u-boot

You will need to have some patience

[Nick Wolf]

You're right.
Originally it had 5TB on board.
But I got it some years ago without HDDs.

Thanks!

[Jocko]

Indeed I have a not diskless 5big2 version with a newer uboot version :

Code: Select all

U-Boot 1.1.4 (Jan 31 2011 - 16:35:53) Marvell version: 3.4.16  LaCie 1.5.17

with gpt support.

[fvdw]

:thumbup

I will talk to Jocko to see if we can get a copy of his u-boot and in format so that it can be used to write to flash using u-boot console
