Try to Get a Disk Image of Drive of 2Big V2

[Jocko]

As I do not remember if there is a client for dhcp with the standalone kernel, can you run also

Here it is. I still do not see a valid IP address.

This time all is ok on the firmware side and dhcp client has been started but it seems it did not receive nothing from your router.

Tomorrow I go to send you a small script to use with fvdw-sl console to check what answers it receives

[RedSun]

Just let you know that. For this build, I built 2x HDs, both in the same left slot. So there are two identical HDs. Not sure if this makes any difference as to the sda or sdb.

[Jocko]

Hi

No there is no issue to have 2 disks "system" if you do not unplug sda. Other issue if I remember correctly(@fvdw can you confirm this point), the bootloader will use the kernel present in sdb6 instead of sda6 (priority order). So it may be an issue later when a newer firmware version requires an updated kernel version.

So later we will erase the contain of sdb6

Attached a small script which the parameters environment of script performed by udhcpc at each time it receives a response from a dhcp server.

So unzip the script in the folder tftp of fvdw-sl console and load it on the nas

Code: Select all

busybox tftp -r  dhcp-layer.sh -l /dhcp-layer.sh -g  YOURIP
chmod 755 /dhcp-layer.sh

YOURIP is still IP address of your laptop

get a telnet window (stop the nas, select action "Standalone kernel, load and start",...

And use this command line

Code: Select all

udhcpc -f -i eth0 -v -x hostname='fvdwsl-base' -s /dhcp-layer.sh

If the nas gets some responses from your router, you should read a line like this "Executing /dhcp-layer.sh bound"
Stop the commnd (cntrl +c) if after several "waiting on select 3 seconds" sequence you do not get a bound answer, stop the command

Please to post the trace in all case

[RedSun]

Here it is.

I see the box gets an IP of 192.168.1.94. That is the static IP I set with its MAC.

So the situation appears, the debugging is successful and the box received the static IP. But when the box boots on its own, it still can't get an valid IP. During the debugging, I can clearly see the fvdwsl-base in the DHCP client table.

So the box and router both function. It is clearly the software link.

[Jocko]

Indeed the nas receives the expected responses from your dhcp server.

If telnet window is still open can post

Code: Select all

mkdir /sda5
mount /dev/sda5 /sda5
cat /sda5/tmp/var/log/messages

you should see some information here as the debug mode is still enabled when you tried to boot normally the nas

[RedSun]

It appears the network lease fails. It complains about no network cable. Should I go back to non-static IP?

so the issue is :
udhcpc receives a code error 'leasefail' from dhcp server and it seems the kernel did not detect the network cable :scratch

fvdw-sl console does not perform this check, can you post this output from the telnet window

Code: Select all

cat /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier

If the udhcpc can't get a network lease, how was it able to get the static IP when we did the last debugging? Clearly the box is able to communicate with the router and match its MAC with the static IP. It did obtain the network lease.
