Nas Died

[Jocko]

Yes it is the right file

[poilopil]

so i choose the file and now its showing in console: waiting for u-boot.
also the asistant exe cant find any nas.
But i can ping the NAS and it gives a response.
What 2 do next ?

:disapprove
You should have switched off your nas before launching the standalone kernel and only switch it on when you have the window "waiting for uboot".

It is all written in the help files that come with the console and displayed in the main window of the fvdw-sl console. We are willing to help you but really you should do some more effort and careful reading of the instructions ;)

Hi poilopil,

The first thing to do before removing a disk or anything else is to detect the current raid state.

So first download the fvdw-sl console (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2691). Please read fully the topic (and even twice time).

I confirm fvdw's post.
Whereas I gave this information at the beginning of the topic, you quickly posted the asking

OK how do i connect my NAS to my pc ? or put in network ?

Which shows you did not read instructions!
You are not a child so make a little effort

[poilopil]

yes it works :) sorry for my not reading actions but i am not that good with pc's and stuff.
im getting the gpt partition table question now.
I see my 5big doesnt support it so i choose NO ? right?
it has disks from 1tb so 5 x 1tb

[Jocko]

With 1Tb disks there is no need to use a gpt partition table (and also 5big1 does not support it on sda disk)

So choose No

[poilopil]

what now ?

That means install script failed to delete fully the original partition table.

So if you still have a telnet window opened, do these commands to remove manually the table before installing again version 16.1:
- load gdisk binary

Code: Select all

busybox tftp -r gdisk -l /sbin/gdisk -g ip-pc
   chmod 755 /sbin/gdisk

(ip-pc is your laptop ip)
- run gdisk /dev/sda

Then on the gdisk menu, do : x+enter; z+enter confirm by typing y+enter (twice : to delete any table)
Check if you have no longer partition : gdisk -l /dev/sda

If yes you can again try to install fvdw-sl. If you do not have restarted the NAS install is still available. So on the telnet window do

Code: Select all

 /fvdw-sl-installer ip-pc

(ip-pc is your laptop ip)

Otherwise, you need to stop the NAS and run again the install process from the beginning

[poilopil]

i put into the telnet client

busybox tftp -r gdisk -l /sbin/gdisk -g 192.168.10.22 chmod 755 /sbin/gdisk

but just get the below result:
usage: tftp options host
transfer a file from/to tftp server
-1file local file
etc

think the command syntax isnt right?

[poilopil]

i copied paste now from the site into telnet window
now i get :

invalid option --1
