After a year of lying unused in a cupboard I powered up my NS1 and it worked fine, off to the Lacie webpage and update the firmware. It started, but came up with an error message before it seemed to start updating. The hard drive could be heard speeding up and clicking a couple of times, then it would slow down and speed up again. It wouldnt power down so after an hour I unplugged the power left it for a couple of mins and powered it up again, but still the same.
I pulled the hard drive and connected it to a usb-sata but it still did the same. It was a 1Tb drive.
As I had a 500Gb drive spare, I found this site and with no Linux knowledge managed to install 10.1 on this drive at the second attempt.
It powers up OK, I can reach it from my web browser, I have changed the workgroup to match my network and all seemed mostly fine. However using my windows 7 PC, in file explorer on the left habd side pane under network it used to show my PC, my synology NAS and my printer. It now only shows my PC. If I click on network then in the right hand pane it shows all my network devices and the Lacie shows as a computer. If I disconnect the Lacie from the network by unplugging the RJ45 cable then on the left habd side under network I see my printer the synology my PC and the Lacie.
If I try and switch the Lacie off with the power switch it will not do and I have to unplug the power. I tried the shutdown server swich on the configuration the blue light flashed for a minute or so, but then remained on constant.
Any ideas? I guess I should refrain from upgrading to 14 until I sort these problems.
Thanks,
John
