I cannot connect to LaCie CloudBox

[ThoH2]

Dear friend,
I saw on some instructions for connecting into NAS via console. I have clear HDD (formated as NTFS), when I set up an IP address for DHCP as static for LaCie, blue diode still blinking and no IP address has been assigned.

Do I need to prepare my HDD as ext4 for I can have NTFS file system.


Thank you very much for your time and help

Hi ThoH2,

:scratch If you use an empty HDD, there is no firmware and then your cloudbox can not set an IP address.

Do I need to prepare my HDD as ext4 for I can have NTFS file system.

If you use the install script you have nothing to do (the script set a new partition table with the right file systems)

Dear Jacko,
thank you very much for your time. May you help me with instalation of the firmware? I am sorry, because I do not have an experience with that.
