Hi all!

After my nwsp2 lite stop working with original firmare I tried to user your fvdw-sl-11-0 instead. So I opened my box, check hard-disk (SEAGATE BARRACUDA ST2000DM001) with S.M.A.R.T tools to verify the drive (it's OK :thumbup ) and because of my disk was GPT formatted I follow the instruction posted here http://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=581 mixed with the install from scratch PDF.

So before updating my PT was:

GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.1

Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/sdc: 3907029168 sectors, 1.8 TiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): C55BBC8C-54F5-4814-91B9-2B75C9FA4D60
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 3907029134
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 30642 sectors (15.0 MiB)

Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name

And now it is:

Disk /dev/sdb: 3907029168 sectors, 1.8 TiB

Dimesions are not quite the same of the previous post because i aligned partition to cylinders :thumbup

Of course i followed the pdf instruction to how to format partitions, install kernel (UIMAGE-26394-NWSP2CL-9 is it ok for gpt?) on sdb6 and firmware (fvdw-sl-11-0-nwsp2-6jan2012.img) on sdb1,2,7, copy the tarball into sdb5, create /public on sdb8.

The problem is that nwsp still doesn't work, it start and hangs after few second (1-3 no more) on solid blue light, i can't restart using power button and still i can't see it on the network :fists :fists

So COULD ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ME?? :please :please Does anybody has some good hint? maybe I have to re-partition it to standard fdisk disk?

Thanks in advance for your help and for what is worth I'm on LInux Ubuntu 12.04 Notebook so i can try any linux/unix command it is needed :thumbup

if it is GPT formatted disk then the kernel of fvdw-sl-11-0 will not be able to read it. You need a more recent one.
If the disk is partitioned with fdisk (ms-dos partition table) then it should be able to read).
From what you posted I conclude that it is not ms-dos partiton table As that can only have 4 primary partitions and as such partition 4 should be an extended partition. In your table its visible that this is not the case. So I assume it is a GPT partition table.
Then you will need a more recent kernel to be able to run it. I will sent you the one we use in 13-0. It should also run with 11-0 although some kernel modules might not load. But thats no problem. When the nwsp2-lite runs with this kernel then upgrade to 13-0 using the fvdw-sl web interface

--pm send with newer kernel

Thank you guy for the new kernel. :thumbup
Unfortunately fwsp2 still doesn't work. I've tried to enable debug and this is the output from /tmp/var/log/messages:

First strange thin is the date Nov 16? it's Oct 28! but i think it's because it is not synchronized with ntp so maybe it's ok.
After that I see so many errors on getting IP address from DHCP router.. that's probably whiy I can't see it on my network.. do you have any idea? Seems it finally get an APIPA fallback addres, right? but how can I access this address from a 192.168.10.xxx network? :hammerhead

Hope it won't be an hardware problem.. :sob :sob

well the good news is that your nwsp2 is booting and it seems you managed to set debug to true to get this output.
So the new kernel seems to be able to read the disk and fire it up.
ps in the root directory there is also a file with name boot.log. You could also look to that output.

what is strange to this output is for example this part

It means it is not able to get a IP address from you dhcp server. Is the cable that you use ok? and is there a a dhcp server at all. Its clear that without IP address you can not contact it via your LAN. This must be a problem of your LAN

this is the output from my nwsp2

Now the firmware seems to continue to try to get an IP address and do some other things but finally gives up and shutt down the nas

Did you keep pressed the power button for more then 5 seconds or so to shut it down or did it decide by itself that after a while not getting an IP address assigned it shut down by itself. I never encountered this situation. I would expect that the boot would continue, which of course useless as long as there is no ip address....this part of the firmware is still form the original developers
This must be possible to solve, seems no hardware problem to me (unless your ethernet card in the nwsp is broken)

The first question to answer is why your dhcp server doesn't assign an IP address...(wrong or defective cable or is there no dhcp server ?)

ps

First strange thin is the date Nov 16? it's Oct 28! but i think it's because it is not synchronized with ntp so maybe it's ok.

this is not strange as the nwsp2-lite doesn't keep its time when switched off for some time. As it cannot reach nternet it can nto update the time and uses the default time which is indeed 16 nov.

Well about the last point. Yes of course i pressed the button and manually shutdown all.

About DHCP I'm using my router DHCP which works perfectly with other devices ( 2 notebooks, 2 android phones, 1 smart tv, 1 wireless repeater) so I don't think that this could be the problem. I should try with another router maybe but i don't know...

About cables I switched 2 different cables, and 2 different Network ports still have the same problem.. :thinking :thinking well seems to be something serious.

and for the boot.log I can't find it anywhere in any partition.. could you please tell me the exact path and partition to look into?

Many thanks. :hail :hail

nd for the boot.log I can't find it anywhere in any partition.. could you please tell me the exact path and partition to look into?

as this is first time install it should be in sda7 in root folder (/)

*** fvdw-sl NAS firmware
    This is fvdw-sl version: fvdw-sl 11.0
    built on: Januari 3 2012

    Port configuration:

It's seemes everything is OK. Even the ifconfig UP eth0 seems ok.

The only errors are:
ERROR: lacfg_init fail read version
ERROR: lacfg_load_key no map defined
write_byte_storage : error loading key=power
ERROR : writing into the storage
error setting power on
ERROR: lacfg_cleanup no map defined

it indicates again that it gets no IP address form the dhcp server and then it falls back on a random static address

These errors below I have never seen before,
Eeven on the internet I can not find info on those
It looks like an error related to RAM or EEPROM (when shutting down the firmware writes to an epprom to set power button in correct state, that seems to fail). Did yopu play with the EEPROM on you nwsp2 when using the Lacie firmware :tapfoot

This looks to a hardware problem I am afraid
I still do not understand why the NAS shutdown automatically if it doesn't get an IP address. if we could prvent that and get it accisble via the ethernet port we could do more test when it is running to find the problem

What we could try is adapt the nas database to assign a static IP address which is in the range of your normal LAN when it is booting instead of automatic getting an IP address

The database is in sda 5 in the folder /etc
The name of the file is

Code: Select all

nas_conf_db.xml

you will need to edit this file on two places (do it carefully as if the syntax is not correct then the boot will fail because it can not read the file properly)

And of course it's not reachable. :fists

So definetly I think that something in the network interface is broken :sob :sob ..and opening the box has invalidate my warranty... shit! :hairpull
So if no other things to try remains, the only thing i can do is buying another box (may not a Lacie this time) and save my 2 TB hard disk for it.. sad but true..

Thank you for your fast and really helpful support! :hail :hail
