[subulur]

Hello all, thanks for the great effort.

i installed OMV 1.17. i could log in OMV just 1 time, after i rebooted the device , it stopped working. i can see the green light, it seems normal, but i cant reach the gui through explorer or i cant reach my device via ssh. i scanned all ip s inside my network but my device does not get an ip. it was working great after reboot it stopped working.

so i tried recovery method. but i receive an error

TFTP:
Client 192.168.0.2:1025 data\startup.sh, 1 Blocks Served
Client 192.168.0.2:1026 data\recovery , timeout

recovery timeout… how can i solve this ? plz help…

i was on latest FW before i installed OMV

Hello Fox. Very Thank you for the work.
I had already installed clean debian from other site to my Mycloud, and finished setting up for me to work.
But I found that it was old version you uploaded, and the ‘iptables’ doesn’t work because the kernel’s not changed.

I want to use the iptables by updating the kernel, but I also want to keep my settings because it took really long time for setting my own webdav, ftp, ssl…

Is there any way just I can do without changing those things?

Thank you again.

Look in my G.Drive folder - you can find there Kernel v3.2.68
Just unpack modules to /lib/modules and dd kernel to part 5:
dd if=kernel of=/dev/sda5 (On WDMC)

[kowloon_chan]

There is a file named uImage. Is this the kernel?
Can I just use this
dd if=uImage of=/dev/sda5 ?

[Fox_exe]

Yes. Double yes

[kowloon_chan]

Are there some files missiing from the 3.2.68 modules? There are only 3 files but in the 3.2.26 modules folders there are 12 files. Am I downloading the right file, Linux-3.2.68-bin.tar.gz?

Thanks.

[Fox_exe]

3 files? Something wrong.
Linux-3.2.68-bin.tar.gz
uImage and lib (folder) inside.
Install:
tar xvfz Linux-3.2.68-bin.tar.gz -C / dd if=/uImage of=/dev/sda5 rm /uImage

[kowloon_chan]

In the modules/3.2.68/ folder, there are only
kernel/ (folder)
build (link)
module.builtin
modules.order
pfe.ko
source (link)

Is this normal? There are more files for 3.2.26 or 3.2.40.
Thanks.

[Fox_exe]

Run this after unzip (after install, but before reboot):
depmod -a -b /lib/modules/3.2.68/
And you got all files, what you need.

[kowloon_chan]

I tried the command but returned error. After searching on the net I found the correct command is:
depmod -a 3.2.68

Now I got all the files and the kernel update is successful.
Thank you very much for the help.

Hallo.
Ist es möglich,dass ich auf meine Mycloudmirror 4TB ebenfalls die saubere Debianversion und OMV bekomme?

Translation from google translate:

Hello.
Is it possible that I also get the clean version of Debian and OMV on my My Cloud Mirror 4TB?

[Fox_exe]

@adi_sko

Is it possible that I also get the clean version of Debian and OMV on my My Cloud Mirror 4TB?

Yes, but “Mirror” have different hardware. Need different kernel and (maybe) recompile rootfs.

[adi_sko]

Unfortunately, I do not know how to edit the files

[Fox_exe]

If somebody borrows me the Mirror, I will prepare alternatives and of it.

Upd:
Added easy method to boot into my Recovery env.
Also added easy method to install DSM to WDMC (Based on new recovery method)

Fox_exe:

I commend you for all your hard work on this. I’ve been following this thread for some time. If I had the extra time I’d give it try. Congrats!!

[subulur]

i tried new DSM. it is working well. TY fox.

[kowloon_chan]

Hi Fox_exe,

I tried the new DSM5 installation with the HD taken out and connected to a linux box. The DSM is running well so far.

I remember you metioned the poweroff shall be done through ssh instead of the UI. I tried “poweroff” but it said Unable to execute shutdown: No such file or directory.

Could you please help? Thanks.

[Fox_exe]

RTFM!!!
Для кого пишу, спрашивается!?

# Power off:
_shutdown -Ph 0 
# Reboot:
_shutdown -r 0

[Joffi]

Thanks Fox_exe! DSM5 running great, managed to get Transmission running through package center too, just had to add http://packages.synocommunity.com/ as Package Sources and enabled home directories under user settings (don’t know if that matters) and just made public directory for the downloads

Didn’t try other community packages yet, they had couch potato etc. I just wish it would be possible to speed up samba a little bit. Quickly tested on small 500MB test file 30MB/s write and 80MB/s read

Anyway thank you very much Fox_exe!

Hi Fox. I’m having a trouble right now…
I had a mistake with extractig a file

this is what you said,

tar xvfz Linux-3.2.68-bin.tar.gz -C /
dd if=/uImage of=/dev/sda5
rm /uImage

but I think I extracted this on -C /root by my mistake… I was very fool

so my cloud doesn’t work after rebooting…
even I press the reset button for 40s but It doesnt work.
I feel very sorry for this but what should I now?
