Hi there,

my fvdw 16.1 installation is configured to update its DDNS record automatically. I set the username, and the password is correct, but for some reason, it doesn't update the record, but displays:

Not Updated, since last restart

The question is: why? How to find out what's going wrong?

Hi Cubytus,

What DDNS provider do you use ?

Note: Since January, there is an issue with no-ip and you can never update your DDNS.

Otherwise, if your DDNS is also updated by another process (e.g. router feature), the firmware will always see your DDNS as not updated.

Indeed this is No-IP, but all other devices use No-IP as well and they update just fine…

No-ip has changed some rules since January and it rejects now the request used by our binary.

So attached the new binary.

Disable the DDNS feature in LAN setup menu

Save the archive in a share (I assume fvdw) and In a Putty window do

Code: Select all

tar -xf /direct-usb/fvdw/ez-ipupdate.tar -C /usr/bin

Thanks for the update. During the upgrade from 16 to 16.1, I lost access to folder fvdw, and the drive itself doesn't appear anymore in the local computer. Would you please provide a link to the correct procedure to restore it?

- Check if fvdw folder still exists :

Code: Select all

ls -l /direct-usb/

- check if fvdw settings is set in the nas database:

Code: Select all

root@Acrab:/ # grep 'sharename>fvdw</' -A 23 /etc/nas_conf_db.xml
                        <sharename>fvdw</sharename>
                        <sharetype>private</sharetype>

                        <sharemount>1100</sharemount>
                        <volid>1100</volid>
                        <protected>0</protected>
                        <sharefstype>ext3</sharefstype>
                </share>


If you don't have this output, then try to create again the share fvdw

Actually, it is still present, and the grep line gives a slightly different output:

Code: Select all

grep 'sharename>fvdw</' -A 23 /etc/nas_conf_db.xml
         <sharename>fvdw</sharename>
         <sharetype>private</sharetype>
         <sharestatus>active</sharestatus>
         <sharelocation>internal_share</sharelocation>

               <user>
                  <username>usager</username>
                  <accesstype>full</accesstype>
               </user>
            </users>
         </access>
         <stream>0</stream>
         <nfs>0</nfs>

But the main problem seems to be that, the disk doesn't show up anymore in the left pane. I can still connect manually, but I'd rather have it automatically detected.

Hi Cubytus,

Your settings for fvdw are ok.

It is not clear for me.

Do you mean: the NAS is not listed on the network node with windows Explorer or previously you have set a permanent network resource with the share fvdw ?
For this last point you may try to create it again (context menu > add a network location)

Well it is normally automatically detected by the Finder, and shows up in the left pane…

do you install this patch ? viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2326 :shocked

At least it fixes the issue with Finder for one Mac user.
