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

It is GREAT!

No offense at all, your other work was fantastic too and really appreciate it but - I am just curious - what's new/different in this comparing to using your etch compilation then do apt-get dist-upgrade? It worked fine for me and now on too lenny/sid.

Thanks very much for your work effort!

Hi,

This thing makes me crazy ...

I compiled a new kernel based on the latest source with the working sata driver (standby) and installed in the following way:
1. do the mkimage header magic
2. save the old kernel, and save the modules as well
3. copy and overwrite with the new kernel+modules
4. restart

then everything crashed. :-(

Revert all back to original via USB mount. Restart.

Still nothing. :-((

Format and upload lenny.

Still nothing. :-(((

Format and upload etch. See the mentioned issue with login never-ever seen with etch so far :-/ Fix as suggested.

Restart, etch logs in then do apt-get upgrade and now on lenny. :-)

Any idea what exactly happens after power up? My guess is that during boot up from flash some kind of checking is happen and in my case it found a problem prevented proper boot with the new kernel. Then did something else (e.g. modifying superblock) also preventing boot-up after restoring the old kernel. Though I don't understand why could not load lenny after format :-/

Nevertheless, thanks CharminBaer as etch is working very well, so well that even the dist-upgrade was successful.

hi radir.
check the CONFIG_CMDLINE kernel option. on debian, root parameter should be /dev/sda3, on dlink's firmware it should be /dev/ram or something like that. i recommend building a serial console output, as it makes things easier (you exactly see what happens during the boot).

yeah, i did modify that ... but still failed.

Building a serial port, well, not sure it's worth me putting more time/effort in this box. It is very limited in hw/sw performance for my need, until I have better solution I can live with it. But will replace it as soon as possible ;-) My next project will be a 'real' NAS from spare PC components with RAID and gigabit ethernet with jumbo frame.

fan speed control work or no ?

i've made some modifications to the fand - it handles the temperature differently now:
if the temp is above the MAX, the fan goes full speed until it drops down to MAX. Then it will go medium speed, until temp is HYST
if the temperature was below HYST, the fan is not working, as long the MAX temp is not reached.

this way the fan is cooling the box more efficiently, and it isn't so noisy.

best args for the fand are -m 40 -M 45, but of course you are welcome to try different args and report the results.

btw: is the suspend working for you guys?

the link is working for me..

I don´t know where is the problem, but the dns-313 like work fine, the green led is turned on but dot´t get ip address.
If i connect the box by usb port and change the /etc/network/interfaces to set a fixed ip address the box didn´t start.
I have discover that the problem is the switch, when I connect the box to a Gb switch its can´t get a ip addres.
It´s like that the OS can´t support the driver for the lan interface.

I make a ethtool egiga0:

Settings for egiga0:
    Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
    Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
                            100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
    Supports auto-negotiation: Yes

        SecureOn password: 64:00:01:00:01:01
    Current message level: 0x000002cf (719)
    Link detected: yes

and the ifconfig give me that:

There is 424 dropped packet.

Any suggestion??

I realized you too using MTU 1500, and a bit confused regarding gigabit support. I tried to change MTU above 1500 in order to enable jumbo frame without success so a) is this due to lack of proper net driver from D-link b) or it's not a real gigabit nic dns is assemblied with???

Hi,

Apt-get is slow. Very slow. While building the package database it is really very slow (due to RAM size I guess), but after it downloading and installation is pretty fast. So be more patient :-)

For torrent use the transmission package (sid version, 1.34) with built-in web interface. But I cannot advise on ftp.

Regards.

Charminbaer pleaseee could you add the TUN/TAP module for lenny, or can you tell me how to add
tun module. Openvpn does not work without that, i think it´s really interesting to access our nas from
the internet.

Thanx in advance.

What about hard drive shutdown after some period of time? It seems to spin always.
In the native firmware there is an option, by default it stops after 10 mins.

Well now I have sshd up and running.

I would like the kernel source used to compile the kernel running and the config so that I can add the tun.ko or is it tap.ko module andmaby change the floating point emulator to that new experimental one that are supposed to be faster if it is not already in the kernel.
