Lacie 2Big Network vs1 can't add second disk

@grishin

yes there is an error in insert-modules
this line

Code: Select all

modprobe xor.ko

should be

Code: Select all

modprobe xor 2>> boot.log

ps if you edit insert-modules file be sure to use a unix based editor, if you use notepad or similar DOS based editor it will add <CR><LF> instead of only <LF> at end of the lines as result the script won't run properly.

attached an updated file after copying check if it has executable permissions

[fvdw]

there is a way to have a raid0 or is still not supported?

We plan to have it available in version fvdw-sl 16-0

Now I update to 15-3 with kernel UIMAGE-13142-2BIG1-4 or wait new firmware 15-4 ?

[fvdw]

if you update to 15-3 then this proces will overwrite the kernel now in sda6.
What you could do is upgrade to 15-3 and switch off the 2big1
Then use the fvdw-sl console to load and start the external kernel (use the 3.14.2 kernel)
Then the firmware will come up but will not be fully functional as the kernel modules are missing, but the ssh server will be operational.
Copy the modules and insert modules script as you did in the 15-2 firmware and write the kernel to sda6 using the dd command
To get the kernel on the nas you could use a program like winscp, that uses ssh server to connect to the nas and allows you to upload files to it
When you have the kernel in the root directory of the nas (/) use putty to connect also to the ssh server and this command to write it to sda6

Code: Select all

dd if=/UIMAGE-13142-2BIG1-4 of=/dev/sda6

Now reboot the nas and do the checks as you did on 15-2 to see if all modules are loaded
To check which kernel is running you can use

Code: Select all

uname -a

Hi fvdw,
after following any explanation on how to install the latest version of the firmware, Lacie 2Bv1 still showed no signs of life :thinking
I found out I have the same version of uboot 1.1.4 issue in this area of the forum, so no IDE boot cause no IDE HD found by the board :bananadance .
Before start, do you think there's a way to immediately install the latest firmware (16 ?) or I must stay at 15-3 as wrote in the last post?

Thank you in advance ;)

Hello Trytofixit,

Before start, do you think there's a way to immediately install the latest firmware (16 ?) or I must stay at 15-3 as wrote in the last post?

Yes, you can use the latest firmware 16.0 for a first install. You have to unpack the firmware as I described in http://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1522&start=50#p15880 to get all the parts for an install via netconsole or by connecting the disk to a linux system (I prefer gparted booted from stick or cd).

If you want to use the fvdw_sl_console you need a modified installer script described in http://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1857&start=10#p15347.

Please check if your 2big1 is really booting. My 2big1 sometimes didn't boot anyway, sometimes it booted without problems. I checked a lot of things, but didn't find the reason. Sometimes a factory reset was useful (the factory reset doesn't change anything to the 2big1 or the disks, it only hands over a restart flag in the kernel command line. The fvdw kernel doesn't care of it).

. . . .
[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 ro reset=1
. . . .

=> After connecting a serial console to the JTAG debug interface I pointed out that u-boot hangs waiting for console input. Just the presence of the serial console is sufficiant for a proper boot. If you find it hanging just type in boot

Have fun with your 2big1.
