Disk capacity of 2big n2

Disk capacity of 2big n2

Postby ngc2392 » Mon Jan 09, 2023 5:35 pm

Hello, original lacie firmware or nas has capacity of 3tb disk drive (and 1tb and 2tb respectively). Can I put inside bigger disks? Is this the limit of lacie or the system (18.2)? Thanks

If your bootloader support gpt partition table you can use disks bigger then 2TB.
Most 2big2 have gpt support but some early produced ones not.
If you have now 3TB disks then your bootloader supports gpt tables.
Another way to check if your bootloader supports gpt is connecting via ssh and on linux command prompt give this command
Code: Select all
dmesg | grep gpt

Hi

If you use lacie firmware, you can not do it : no shell access except you had opened a root access on it (on latest fw version you can't do it anymore). Note: if your nas already uses 3TB disks the bootloader supports gpt partition table. But you can not know it automatically if you have 1 or 2TB disk size (ms-dos partition limit)
Of course with our firmware you just need to open a console window on your laptop over a SSH protocol or use the web-conwole from the fw web-interface

About disk size limit, more information here (if you nas can manage gpt disk): https://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2741&p=25777#p25777So if you usesa raid0, disk limit will be 8TB and 16 TB with a raid1

You are authenticated
root@lacie.local /$ dmesg | grep gpt

That doesn't look good, it could mean you have 2big2 with a bootloader that doesn't support gpt, it should list something like this
Code: Select all
root@2bignas:/ #dmesg | grep gpt
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 ro cap=gpt,lba64
root@2bignas:/ #

You could use only the dmesg command and post the output here
Code: Select all
dmesg

This would enable us to see more info on your 2big2, especially the kernel command line

ok, i did that, but i can't copy all that stuff, it can't copy from inside windows (like command prompt or smth). like it's not allowed? is there some export, print etc option?

i have just one disk installed (seagate 1tb), and it's still the original one from lacie. but, i have an option to give this nas to my friend and he wants to put 2x 6tb drives inside. so, i don't want that he just find out that this is impossible...

nevermind...i did it:

so, and the verdict? is it bad, doctor :scratch

oh, i don't know if i formated/initialized disk or not (sorry, i forgot, this nas was stashed away). should i initialize and repeat that dmesg command?

Re: Disk capacity of 2big n2

Postby fvdw » Wed Jan 11, 2023 8:44 pm

The verdict is that your 2big2 is one of the unlucky ones that has a bootloader not supporting gpt partition tables
see this line
Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 ro reset=0 productType=PRO_KW

It should be(seen on other 2big2 that support gpt)
Code: Select all
Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 ro reset=0 productType=PRO_KW cap=gpt,lba64


It seems you have only disk installed, the second sata link is down, correct ?
I see no need to initialize the disk sda it seems to be fine

The bootloader issue can be solved by writing an updated uboot image to the flash memory of the 2big2.
Our fvdw-sl console that runs under windows and was probably used by you to install the firmware has an option to write a new uboot image to flash memory and it has also an updated uboot image for a 2big2.
You should write the file u-boot-3.5.9-2.0.6-net2big_v2-revD-2.0.6-sf.kwb to flash memory.
The fvdw-sl console has a help menu describing how to flash uboot.

Now before trying to put this file in flash memory read the following carefully.
Flashing uboot has a risk , if it fails your nas will no longer boot and it will be very difficult to bring it back to live, or impossible without special tools.
Failing can happen if the the write process is interrupted or if during transfer the file goes corrupt or if you select the wrong image to write to flash.
If you are going to to do it always use wired connection between your pc and the lan.
Good to know is that several users have performed it without a problem.

The procedures and files are tested successfully but because we don't have control over the actual flashing we want to stress that
if you perform the writing of u-boot to flash memory you do this fully at own risk!
no guarantees are given, don't blame us if it bricks your NAS. 
I trust you understand.

yes, i have only 1 drive. and, no, i will not go for that flashing...so, if i understand, i can put 2x 2tb drives safely in this lacie? anything above 2tb will go to...well, e-heaven :)

Re: Disk capacity of 2big n2

Postby fvdw » Wed Jan 11, 2023 9:58 pm

You could use in most lefthand slot seen from the back a disk with a capacity of max 2TB and install fvdw-sl on it using ms-dos partition table so the bootloader can read and boot the nas.
In the second slot you can install a disk bigger then 2TB. The fvdw-sl kernel supports gpt and can use capacity of that second disk.

The sequence is put the 2TB (or smaller) disk in the lefthand slot and install fvdw-sl. If the nas boots ok, shut it down and install the second disk in the righthand slot and boot the nas. Initialize the second disk using the fvdw-sl web interface.
Note the second disk should not contain lacie or fvdw-sl firmware. Preferable an empty disk.
