Hi guys I found my old Network Space 2 drive...

I tried to change 1TB hard drive to a 10TB hard drive. So I recognized, that the OS start from the hdd and not from ROM... So I did research on Google and found this forum and also Downloads, but not how to start.
I tried to boot from USB Disk.

At this moment I clone the 1TB to 10TB disk with stock firmware... Maybe it is enought for me... I just need the 10TB disk for backing up my sensitive data from my QNAP...

I am also able to read / write the flash (25L4005A) on the board. If I need to do so... I also read that I maybe need a change to GPT partition table...

I can do all things, but I need a minimal description how to start with that ;)

Thank you!

Update: I recognized how it works.... U-Boot is flashed to a new version supporting GPT and install from Console...
HDD is intializing now...

Hi,

There is not a manually downloadable package for version 18.2. You can upgrade the firmware directly from its web-interface (Firmware Update menu).

But to be able to do it you have to install a roll-up patch which fixes an issue with our web hosting provider :
