First and foremost thank you to all of the folks that made this firmware possible!
I was able to get this installed and working fairly quickly and without issues. I will be donating a bit later for sure.
I purchased the NAS second-hand, so I didn't care about the data at all... I performed a factory reset to gain access to the config, that didn't work. I went through recovery, it failed and rendered the NAS non-bootable on the LaCie firmware. After reading through the docs here (and having some registration issues due to a gmail account), I was able to get the firmware installed successfully to the first disk in the NAS. Kudos for making this pretty much painless :-D
The issue I'm facing is that i have the firmware installed successfully on one drive and the system boots up and does everything normally.
I go to put any number of additional disks in the NAS (1 to 4 more), and all I have is a blinking blue light on the front with nothing for disk activity, or network accessibility.
If I power the NAS off (pulling the power cable is the only way), wait a few moments, pull the extra disks out, then power the NAS back on, all is right in the world and everything comes happily back to life.
Looking at the "Add additional disks" instructions I should be able to get to the NAS via SSH... but its not even getting an IP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again and in advance!
