Lacie Cloudbox 3TB Cannot Install Firmware

Lacie Cloudbox 3TB Cannot Install Firmware

Postby Sergio-K » Wed Dec 07, 2016 10:13 pm

Hi
My Lacie Cloudbox 3TB was bricked (constant red light) and i tried to install the firmware from the fvdw-sl console.
Everything was going fine and in the messages from telnet i received "install firmware on /dev/sda.....complete" and then "install firmware on /dev/sda1....failed".
I dit it again again but it always fails when it tries to install the firmware.

This is what the installer.log returned :

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

Re: Lacie Cloudbox 3TB Cannot Install Firmware

Hi Sergio,

According with your post, fvdw-sl console succeeded to create rightly the partition table (the default first sectors are ok at each step). You can check this point by using the action "Load a standalone kernel" instead of "Install the firmware".

On the telnet window, do
Code: Select all
 busybox tftp -r gdisk -l /sbin/gdisk -g ip-pc
chmod 755 /sbin/gdisk
where ip-pc is the ip of your laptop
Then do
Code: Select all
gdisk -l /dev/sda
You should read a partition table like this
Code: Select all
Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            4096         1052671   512.0 MiB   8300  Linux filesystem
   2         1052672         2101247   512.0 MiB   8300  Linux filesystem
   3         2101248         3149823   512.0 MiB   8200  Linux swap
   4         3149824         3166207   8.0 MiB     8300  Linux filesystem
   5         3166208         4739071   768.0 MiB   8300  Linux filesystem
   6         4739072         4755455   8.0 MiB     8300  Linux filesystem
   7         4755456         5804031   512.0 MiB   8300  Linux filesystem
   8         5804032      5860533134   2.7 TiB     8300  Linux filesystem

I think you have a bad disk and this should explain your original issue

So I advice you to get out the disk and to use manufactor tools to check fully the disk

Note: Please to used the BBcode "Code" when you paste some output (I edited your post)
