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

Anyone...?

This is what it looks like, it seems that the sda2 is the data ntfs partition, which makes my approach useless...


root@NAS-313:/mnt/sda3/home/root# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320071851520 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/sda1               1          63      506016  82 Linux swap
/dev/sda2             152       38913   311355765   7 HPFS/NTFS

Partition table entries are not in disk order


root@NAS-313:/mnt/sda3/home/root# cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext2 rw,nogrpid 0 0
none /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
/dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3 ext2 rw,nogrpid 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/HD_a2 ufsd rw,nodiratime 0 0
/dev/sda4 /mnt/HD_a4 ext2 rw,nogrpid 0 0

Indeed you're right about the sda2 being the last partition.
As I'm not familiar with the dd command, I'll try with CloneZilla and at the end I'll resize the sda2 to the max with Gparted.
If not successful, I'll know from the start when booting with the new hdd. Then I'll deal with dd.
Thx Mijzelf for helping me out!

Thank you for this post. I just successfully accomplished the same. I had a dns-313 with a 1TB hdd and wanted to migrate to a 2TB hdd.

A little guide to explain what I did:

Plugged the dns-313 by usb to a computer and the empty destination hdd by usb and started ubuntu.
Ran in a terminal:
sudo fdisk -l

to list all the available drives. Take note of the source hdd (in my case /dev/sdc) and the source hdd (in my case /dev/sdb)

Ran in the terminal (VERY IMPORTANT! DO NOT MESS UP THE DESTINATION AND SOURCE IN THE COMMAND, OR YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR DATA!)

sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror,sync

Waited for a long time. To see how the progress is going, you can type in a new terminal

pgrep -l '^dd$'

to get the process number. in my case it returned 3093 dd. Then simply type

sudo kill -USR1 3093

and the dd terminal window will reply saying how much data it has copied.

When the process was done I started gparted, expanded the NTFS partition to the remaining free space, plugged the hdd to the dns-313, connected to the network and everything was just like before, just with a lot more free space.

Thank you again for the tips.
