Hello to all,

I'm trying to upgrade the 5big2 of the office, I change the hdd and use the image given in this post (viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1402&start=30#p16688) using this commnad:

dd if=/tmp/usb/5bignetwork2_2.2.10.1.img of=/dev/sda
(I manged to mount an USB wth the image)

then enter gdisk and it output this error:

***************************************************************
Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format.
THIS OPERATION IS POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE! Exit by typing 'q' if
you don't want to convert your MBR partitions to GPT format!
***************************************************************

so I put "w" and quit.

unfortunately after rebooting i have an static blue front led but i can access it.


Another option is, maybe someone has all the needed file to follow the steps in this post (viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1402#p9338) but with the latest update avalible....???

I know the LaCie firmware sucks, but since the 5big2 aint mine.....

hope someone could help me....

with the first question I can not help you as I didn't prepare that image..

for the second question you can find the required file here viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1402&start=20#p12278

In the latest console and standolnoe kernel some files are already included. like the glibc files. But I expect that old package should still work.

Thanks, i manged to make it work, but not at its 100 %

what do you make of the picture attached? I have all 5 3TB hdd in the 5big2 but when i make the raid5 or the lacei auto configuration, the total volume space is 1 GB!!!! :fuming

I did check the post you mention, but once I do all the steps and then try to update to the lates firmware version, the webmanager gives me the "ASSERTION FAILED in class:com.lacie.communicationlayer.client.WelcomeRequestHome".

From all the post I've read... I think... I think i have a problem with the partitions tables:
