DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

hei jcard,

when i flashed to B6 (erase all vendor config) from vendor's firmware and try to login using ftp with ssl (default config),
i get this error message:

ftp> open dns-323
Connected to dns-323.
500 OOPS: SSL: cannot load RSA certificate
ftp>

this not happen when i flashed to B5.

i try to fix it using this syntax command:

# cd /etc/ssl/certs/
# openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout vsftpd.pem -out vsftpd.pem

after that, i can start using ftp.

is the ssl-cert supposedly auto generate? or user manually generate it?

You find a bug, thanks.
Now fixed in svn: http://code.google.com/p/alt-f/source/detail?r=783

I don't understand this statement. Can you elaborate?

with this method:

ive tired install altf b6 once more. kernel flashed sucessfully, but at the end of flashing ramdisk i get not enough flash memory error, and then rebooted and some checksum error

This is odd, as B5 seems to flash fine on A1 boards, according to MrGastoso, and the image creation method/script has not changed. Also,  B6 rootfs size is 14KB smaller then B5 rootfs.

The flash chip and flash partitioning scheme of A1 boards are identical to B1 and C1 boards, and no problem arose on these.

Transmission errors?

I have setup a linux-2.6.36.3 kernel, using the same config, do you want to try it? Or MrGastoso?

You can find it here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1555717/DNS-323 … index.html

Thanks

PS-BTH, Alt-F has a utility program to create or split a firmware image:

/ # dns323-fw
Split a vendor firmware file into its components:
        dns323-fw -s [-q (quiet)] [-k kernel_file] [-i initramfs_file]
        [-d defaults_file] firmware_file
Merge a kernel and initramfs into a firmware compatible vendor firmware file:
        dns323-fw -m [-q (quiet)] -k kernel_file -i initramfs_file
        [-d defaults_file] [-p product_id]  [-c custom_id] [-l model_id ]
        [-u sub_id] [-v new_version] firmware_file

You can use it on a linux host if you get it from svn and compile it:

http://code.google.com/p/alt-f/source/b … fw.c?r=782

thanks for the fiirmware tool!

gazsiazasz$ ./dns-fw -m -k zImage-2.6.36.3 -i initramfs Alt-F-0.1B6-teszt.bin
kernel doesn't have uboot format, exiting

i do something wrong?

Thx for your prompt reply.

I only found 5 buttons for managing Dir, but can't find any option for files management in Setup->Directories, so how to command to move from RW to RO?

My error, you can only manipulate directories. If that fits...

-What fan speed does the status page indicates?
Or to have its history, go to System->Utilities->System log, and record the fan and speed events.

My fan lower speed is about 1950 RPM, perhaps yours stops at a higher speed?
Go to Services->System->syctrl->configure, read the help page (the (?) icon next to the page title) and play with the settings.

-Do your disks spin down? Again, look at the log. A user also with WD disks has reported that their disks do not spin down, please follow the discussion "disk spin up and spindown" on the Alt-F discussion group http://groups.google.com/group/alt-f/topics

Actually my fan speed also operated at 2000+- RPM when idling (40C Temp), and my fan setting still in default value, meaning that my B1's fan will never stop if I keep that default setting for 38C Temp to stop? (Bacause my box not even can drop below 40C Temp)

If you find 40ºC too high, you can set the low fan speed to, say 2300:

Low Temp. (C): 40        Low Fan Speed (RPM):     2300

This way you will get more circulating air for the same system temp, and the temp will drop.

Read the help page and report back if you don't understand it.

I don't think that your disks are spinning down. Please see the log.
When a disk spins-down, the corresponding amber led start flashing, with a very short on time and a very long off time. Have you ever seen that?

ive flashed the experimental altf, but same error

Looks like 2.6.36 has troubles with A1.
How have you flashed it? using the serial port?

Have you tried B5? MrGastoso reported that it works fine, and I would like to see the boot log of B6 when kexeced from within B5....

In the same place as before I put B6 using 2.6.35.10, if you want to try them.

Thanks.

working with kernel 2.6.35.10

ok.  little help please.   i got alt-f on my nas finally, work around my corrupted standard firmware

but im kind of stumbling in the dark here,  after a look thru alt-f and play round   i got it to mount and map my drive

but im lost with the packages. i want a dlna server for my tv but whenever i try to install, it says "You dont seem to have a name server configured or a working internet connection"

what do i do to get my nas to recognize internet connection to install said packages

Thanks

JCard, I registered mainly to say thanks for Alt-F.   I have rev A1 with stock firmware 1.09 and struggled to get B6 working via the fun_plug (admittedly i thought it was me being a biff that meant i kept failing as B6 was the first time i have tried to use fun_plug). I read this thread and the one that mentions A1 is not working with B6 and tried with B5 and it worked like a dream first time. (Not flashed, just using the fun_plug)
With the (very) little linux knowledge i have, I would agree with the others here that the new kernel (albeit smaller) is causing the problem.  I found your alternative B6 with the older kernel and intend to give it a try so i will post back the results later.

Also on a USB related note, has anyone else reported the following;  NTFS usb hdd from PC over network to NAS copies files fine, same NTFS usb hdd plugged in to the NAS cannot copy, add or move anything but is recognized in the status page correctly and i can browse the files on it, just cannot use them - i.e play movie files  (permission issues)?

Many thanks,

A few hints:

-How do you browse files on it? using samba? Have you added the share? Can you post the /etc/samba/smb.conf fragment related with the share?

-Have you looked at the System->Utilities->System log, to see if any strange message appears?

-In the status page, Mounted Filesystems, Mode column, does it appears as RW (read-write) or on RO (read only) on red?

-Have you tried with a ntfs formated usb pen, just to compare?

Alt-F default firmware  enables files/directories read/write/create/delete, but not filesystem creation or repair, for that the ntfs-tools package needs to be installed. Usually it is not necessary.

JCard - this might be better moved to another thread as its only reference B5 and USB ?
Anyway,

A few hints:

"-How do you browse files on it? using samba? Have you added the share? Can you post the /etc/samba/smb.conf fragment related with the share?"
Just using Samba, share added - although it was visible prior to expressly sharing it - presumably via the main NAS share -see the smb.conf (with appended system log at end)

"-Have you looked at the System->Utilities->System log, to see if any strange message appears?"
system log is attached to the smb.conf text - This is a second USB NTFS Hdd and gives the same issue, all i tried to do was play an mp3 from windows XP/Ubunto10.10/Win7/Xbox with XBMC - all get the same response 'Failed to decompress file: Value too large for defined data type'.

"-In the status page, Mounted Filesystems, Mode column, does it appears as RW (read-write) or on RO (read only) on red?"
It appears as RW ntfs (but nothing in the Dirty * or FSCK column - presumably normal)

"-Have you tried with a ntfs formated usb pen, just to compare?"
Just tried with a FAT formatted pen and its worked fine for read and write, Will format a pen to NTFS later and try again
"Alt-F default firmware  enables files/directories read/write/create/delete, but not filesystem creation or repair, for that the ntfs-tools package needs to be installed. Usually it is not necessary."
Does that mean if the problem is NTFS related, the ntfs-tools package might solve it? - will try myself later on -
Cheers

Jcard,
An update from me:
I have the A1 hardware, firmware is factory 1.09,  funplug was having problems with B6 but B5 worked fine.  I used the experimental version of B6 in http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1555717/DNS-323 … .35.10.tar as you had put the older kernel in it and it worked perfectly.

Also ref the usb issue i was having;  I have proved it was purely down to compressed files and folders allowable under NTFS.  I partitioned the same usb hdd to 50/50 fat and ntfs and put the same video/mp3 on both partitions and it worked fine, repartitioned the ntfs to allow compressed files and folders and that failed with the same symptoms as earlier, ie file too large.  I repartitioned the ntfs volume without compression and put the video/mp3 on there and it was ok again.  Just to confirm and prove my theory, I created a copy of these folders and used (whilst usb connected directly to PC) the properties/advanced tab to set 'compress contents to save disk space'.  The files in these folders then failed to play with the same symptoms in the system log as before.

Ultimately i only really use the file and folder compression in NTFS for folders with highly compressible data so it was pure unfortunate luck that i had tried a folder with a compressed video/mp3 (that is obviously already compressed as far as it will go!).  I think for most people they probably dont have the compression set so the issue wouldn't show up for them. 

Just so i am clear, I do not expect you to fix this as the cost of storage these days means i am probably the only one who is still tight enough to use it!!

PS I also remember reading somewhere on these forums that NTFS volumes would only be RO, but mine are all mounting RW and i have just proved that I can copy onto the USB NTFS volume over the network and the file plays back fine over the network.
Also during my testing of the compressed files issue, i partitioned to usb hdd to 3 partitions, fat, ntfs and ntfs with compression, but the NAS failed to recognise all 3. Moved back to just 2 paritions, fat and ntfs compressed, or fat and ntfs no compression and it recognised it ok. 


Again, many thanks for making Alt-F.

Jcard,
just looked a bit deeper on the compression issue and found http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g … mpression/  which claims that since ntfs-3g-2010.8.8 it can modify compressed files. I am guessing that the limitation is probably the processor/kernel and not the ntfs-3g?
Do i read it correctly from the logs that the version in Alt-f is 'ntfs-3g[1648]: Version 2009.3.8 integrated FUSE 27'? Would updating it cause problems?
Cheers,

No issue should arise because of upgrading.

Please consider  filling-in the NTFS compressed  issue in http://code.google.com/p/alt-f/issues/list so I won't forget to upgrade to the last version, if flash space permits.

Thanks for diagnosing the problem.

Try going to Setup->Host and fill-in the gateway and nameserver entries, if they are empty.

I'm currently working on minidlna, the current one is not working fine (follow the Alt-F google group discussion and issues) http://groups.google.com/group/alt-f/topics

i have gateway set to my adsl router ip.  and name server to that routers SSID.   still says same thing

what is the name server supposed to be?

also  my nas is behind a wireless AP and switch before router.  could that be the problem

Thanks

Most modem/routers forward dns queries to you ISP name server, so using the router IP as the nameserver should be OK (not your wireless SSID!).
Are you using MS, Linux, or a Mac as your main computer?

Please login the box, type the following command and post the results:

   ping -c 3 209.85.227.147 # this pings google.com. If it works, the gateway is setup fine
   ping -c 3 www.google.com # this does the same, if it fails the dns is not setup properly

If either command fail, post the output of the following commands:

   cat /etc/resolv.conf
   route -n

If the above works fine and you still can't download packages, do you need to use a proxy? try:

   wget www.google.com

as soon as i entered router IP as server name  away she went

Thank You !!!!

RellikZephyr

ok

even tho u said said minidlna was no worky, i tried my luck. but it doesnt show up on my tv

also tried installing ushare.  still nothing on tv

and now  after trying to save settings i get an error. "error saving settings. no flash space available"

umm i know its not much info

but can u help?  get dlna working  not sure how or even if need to do any settings for said dlna

Thanks again  ur awesome
