Please Help me with my 5Big Network 2

[macdalor]

Maybe Jocko or Mijzelf can help with this RAID issue...? I'll be patient in case holidays are still running for some lucky people :-D

[fvdw]

Yes lets wait for them , raid is not my field of expertise

Hi macdalor,

I go to deepen with you this issue next week...

Note: After a thunderstorm, I have hardware problems with my 5big2, so I'd be interested with yours. (and not to have a lacie firmware, is not an issue)

Hi Jocko!Welcome back! Hope you've enjoyed the holidays!

No worries, PM me if you like about the NAS...

Hi macdalor,

To test your raid partitions, it is easier to have a root ssh access than using fvdw-sl console.

What lacie firmware version do you have?

2_2.2.12.2

Ok, with this version, I am not sure the following trick works but you can try.

To enable ssh access and reset the password for user root to the same as the default password of the user admin (which you know) :

Unpack the files in the zip archive attached and put the files in the tftp folder of the fvdw-sl console
Load and start the standalone kernel, assemble the sdx8 raid array and mount it(I assume you use /dev/md1 respectively /md1 as mount point):

Code: Select all

tftp -r mdadm -l /sbin/mdadm -g ip-pc
chmod 777 /sbin/mdadm
mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sd[abcde]8
mkdir /md1
mount /dev/md1 /md1

Replace existing files on md1 by the ones in the attached archive
Upload them using tftp command in standalone kernel, cd to the corresponding folder first to make you life easy

the file "default.runlevel" goes into folder
/md1/etc/initng/runlevel/

Code: Select all

cd /md1/etc/initng/runlevel
tftp -l default.runlevel -r default.runlevel -g ip-pc

the file sshd.i goes into folder
/md1/etc/initng

Code: Select all

cd /md1/etc/initng
cp sshd.i sshd.i.org
tftp -l sshd.i -r sshd.i-g ip-pc

Note: replace ip-pc by actual ip address of your pc

then reboot and see if you can open a shell session with root user (and pwd is the same than admin account)

Caution: ssh daemon does not use the default port (22) but 2222, so you need to give this port when you will try to connect for example with Putty.

If it works, detail fully your disks state : what raid is set and how many disks it contains

[macdalor]

Hi Jocko.

it looks like something's not right here:

[fvdw]

How many disk do you have on this moment in your 5big2?

[macdalor]
