Hello forum friends,

I have a 250 Gb external hard drive mounted on a Lacie Cloudbox (white casing) and I want to change it for a higher capacity one.
To perform this operation, I no longer remember how I have to install the fvdw-sl firmware.
I think I have to start with an older version and then update to the latest version, but I am not sure.
I would be very grateful if you could indicate the steps that I have to follow to start from scratch.

Best regards,
Treybal

Good afternoon,

I think I asked the question very quickly, because reading the forum I think it is well explained.
However, I have a question, to install the firmware, can I do it, using a virtual machine (Parallels) with windows 10 ?.

If you set up the vm properly with respect to network card it should be possible

Hello friends, I want to install your firmware on a new disk and I can't.
My starting point is:
NAS: Lacie Cloudbox white case
500 Gb Western Digital hard drive with NTFS format and GLP partition table
I use one PC con windows 7

The process I follow is:

1st) I Connect my cloudbox to my lan but leave it switched off

2nd) I start the fvdw-sl console on my pc and choose as action "load and start standalone kernel"

3rd) I choose the kirkwood standalone kernel "UIMAGE-3142-KIRKWOOD-171-standalone" and follow further instructions.

4th) I start my cloudbox after the window has appeared with message "waiting for uboot", then I wait until the telnet windows pops up and connect to my cloudbox via this telnet client. (user: root, pasword: giveit2me

5th) Then I have to answer several question but I have dubts with if the boot loader of the NAS supports GPT partition tables.
I answer "YES" but I tell the my hard disk is smaller than 2 Tambien.

6th) Then the script starts work and finally is finished . No any error message appear

7th) I reboot the NAS by entering in the tenet window::
reboot -f

8th) But at this point I can't open the web interface. The hard disk not appear in my lan
I have to be doing something wrong because I have repeated the process several times and I always get the same result (obvious ...)

If you need me to indicate the result of a command, please tell me how to do it because once the process is done, I can't connect to the hard drive

Hi

Do you know this site:http://miqueridopinwino.blogspot.com/2017/02/actualizando-el-firmware-de-los-nas.html

And if you have a disk size lower than 2TB you should answer no at this step:

Nos pregunta si el disco es mayor de 2TB, si fuera así le damos sí:

(so answer only yes if you have a bigger disk)

Yes of course, I have done everything that is indicated in that post.
I do not know if it will be a problem of partitions or of preparation of the new hard disk.
The strange thing is that he did not receive any error messages ... :sob

We need additional information to deepen your issue.

So you have first to get a telnet access on your cloudbox: action "load and start standalone kernel" and when you succeeded to login, please to post theses outputs :

Code: Select all

gdisk -l /dev/sda

dmesg

mkdir /sda7 /sda5
mount /dev/sda7 /sda7
cat /sda7/boot.log

mount /dev/sda5 /sda5
cat /sda5/installer.log
