So I've got it installed and running but something is causing my discs to spin up every 30 mins or so (see screenshot). Any ideas?

Anyone tried update 4 yet? Seems like it will be ok using the script method, but I'd welcome anyones experience. Cheers.

Updated to update 4 yesterday using steps 7 to 17 from this guide;

http://node1.ignorelist.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_synology_on_x86_64_hardware

(obviously substituting 3 for 4)

Updated fine, but needed to be manually power cycled after installation.

Yep, same here. Had to force a restart.... it decided to do a parity check afterwards though, but went through fine.

thanks for the confirmation guys. Always a bit of a worry these days.

EDIT - did the update as usual and all goes the same until the big ten minute countdown. Here it counts down, but nothing happens. It doesn't restart and had to pull the plug and re-insert. Then it boots as normal.

Hi guys,

I'm attempting to update using the guide posted, I follow it to the exact letter (so ssh in and
sed 's/flashupdateDeb/flashupdateDeb1/' /[email protected]> /[email protected]
then
mv /[email protected] /[email protected]), everything is fine, but then when clicking update it goes to the countdown, gets to 1% and flashes up:

There is a temporary directory access error(2) during update.

Any other ideas?

Try doing it this way. I think Deuse originally posted it, but it was a while ago.

Go to control panels > Task Scheduler. Then create > user defined script. Call it something like update script. User: root, and paste in this without the quotes - "
sed 's/flashupdateDeb/flashupdateDeb1/' /[email protected]> /[email protected]
mv /[email protected] /[email protected]".

Now go to updates and download the update. Do Not update yet. Go to task scheduler, select the script and press run. Then back to the update and update.

Simple and no SSH'ing at all.

Hope that sorts you. Remember if you are doing v5 update 4, you will need to manually restart.

I've just did the same and it updated. I did have to turn it off and on again to complete the install.

I've just installed dsm 5.0 beta on mine, dsm is installed on a 2gb usb stick, and I've bunged in a spare 500gb hdd to test it out, when i'm trying to map the drive it only sees the usb share?

Bluecube · 5 Sep 2014 at 20:43

Why the beta? Try the released version of DSM 5 and see how you get on.

hmm the only DSM 5 I could find was beta?

ah edit I was getting it from xpenology.com, is xpenology.nl the place to get it from?

Is this stable to use 24/7?

double edit....

Its so long since ive used a sinology that I realise I can update from within the interface

Bluecube · 5 Sep 2014 at 20:51

.com is the one to go to. Have a look at Nanoboot. DSM 5 is on it's fourth update so it's well out of beta. It's very stable for me.

Bradmax57 · 5 Sep 2014 at 20:59

so I shouldn't be updated from within the software itself as if it were a proper synology?

Bradmax57 · 5 Sep 2014 at 21:08

next issue, I cannot copy the new img to the usb stick, seems xpenology has formatted and partitioned which I cant change within windows whats the best "free" tool to sort back out?

Bradmax57 · 5 Sep 2014 at 22:12

Glad it worked. Now don't forget to make a new account and don't use the admin account.

I read about that and created a different account anyway but thought that was on older dsm's? It's not setup for external use yet I remember having a synology in the past and wasn't the easiest thing to do

Installed and running an absolute treat, my N54l has been up for a couple of days now. I'm a little concerned that my drives aren't hibernating, the logs show that the USB hard drive I connected up to transfer data back over is going into hibernate, but not the internal drives.

I've tried both un-mounting the USB stick, and removing it but neither seems to result in the internal drives hibernating.

Do I need to do anything else to get them to spin down?

Thanks.
