problem with backup during installation

[egystep]

hi all, i'm having a big trouble...when i start the installer ita asks me if i am using the original lacie disk, i select yes then it asks me if i want to make a baclup and if i press yes it gives me an error...i've noticed that it starts from sda9 partition but the last partition is labeled sda8 so it may be this the reason of the error? there is a way to fix the script? thanks to all :) ps i apologize for my bad english

In the first install help page,you can read:

First time install instruction for 5big2 and 2big2 Cloudbox, internetspace 2, networkspace max v2 and 2big1 using fvdw-sl console and fvdw-sl-installer script.

(1) 5big2 and 2big2, cloudbox, internetspace 2, networkspace_max 2

For first time install put only one empty disk in your nas in slot 1. (remove all partition first)

Pretend that you have a nwsp2-classic and use the fvdw-sl installer included in the fvdw-sl console to install the install the firmware (choose the nwsp2 standalone kernel when the console ask you which standalone kernel to use).
Do not use the option to make backup of lacie firmware.
....

you can not use the console to make a backup of the partitions for these NAS type (except for networkspace_max)

oops i tought it was regarding only the dual bay nas...i'm sorry :oops: so i have to remove the hdd to make a backup? i've tyer vith the dd command but the sda8 partition (the biggest) is a fake raid partition and the base kernel can't mount it...any idea?

Hi apatto,

think that you should read this topic http://forum.nas-central.org/viewtopic. ... 659#p66301

Currently, there is no way to reinstall the LACIE firmware (so before plunging, think carefully about what you want)

Our firmware doesn't yet support RAID feature (15.2 version and next version 15.3). It's our next job and will be available with version 16.0 (around last 2014 quater)

it isn't possible even making a backup of each partition + the partition map? i mean something like on custom recovery on Android os or something like disk cloning...however during this or next week i'll give a try backing up the entire disk with ubuntu and Mondo Rescue app that support (fake)raid partitions :) hope it goes well :whistle
