hi, finally, everything working!!!!
you were right, the lacie not being shown in the network was due to the group name, in my case WORKGROUP, and just after changing it, everything working!
now, time to enjoy your software!! thanks very much for it and for your support! for those that had my problem, remember that you have to plug in the HDD straight to the motherboard port, not through a usb port!!! (do not ask me why, but doing it this way, the fdisk reports 512kb sectors, and then your firmware works perfect!

Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated and glad to hear that all is working now.

(disk reporting 4096 logical sector size when connecting with sata->usb interface).......... remember that you have to plug in the HDD straight to the motherboard port, not through a usb port!!! (do not ask me why, but doing it this way, the fdisk reports 512kb sectors, and then your firmware works perfect!

thanks very much for sharing this info Galaberta ! Hopefully it will be of use to others, there are several post on the forum op members struggling with 4k sectors.
It is not something you would think of..but who cares as long as it solves the problem :mrgreen:

I will make a post in the download forum with this info

Hi there,
I bought the Lacie NSP2 a month ago, and I did not manage to make the video streaming work on a tv sony bravia.
So, I decided to install this version 11-0 firmware to try if it works, as it has some additional media streamers.

The problem is that after following all the steps, the nas does not boot.... only blue and red led lights blinking....

I guess I must have done something wrong... I think that the problem is my hard disk a seagate barracuda green 2TB, with the sectors size of 4096kb, and fdisk only recognises my disk as 4096, so either I "broke" something during the proccess or my disk only supports 4096 kb per sector???

I think that my problem (or my disk) is similar to Berny's question last 2 july 2012, but i think he never managed to make it work... (viewtopic.php?f=11&t=666)

This is what I get when I press fdisk /dev/sdb:

Please could anyone help me??? :please
Thanks a lot for your help!!!
Best regards

hello friend were you able to sort out the problem? I am not able to find the reason behind blinking led so please help me..Waiting for reply thanks in advance:)

[fvdw]

yes the reason of the blinking red led is that the boot loader could not recognize the disk.
It seems that some usb/sata interface have a problem to handle an advanced format disk. The solution is to connect it to a sata port of the mainboard of your pc.
However you could also try to use our fvdw-sl console and leave the disk in the nwsp2
