First you have to pick which version you're going to use. gnoBoot is more up to date and you can upgrade\downgrade.

To install gnoBoot http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2152 but don't try to install DSM 5.0-4482.
get the one before of the synology ftp site. http://ukdl.synology.com/download/

As for iTunes I don't use it so it's turned off. The last part is a small script you run when DS says you have a update. It's documented here.

Again allways have a backup and DON'T try to install DSM 5.0-4482 just yet.

So one of my boxes has decided to play up, the volume is crashing on start up, so currently trying to get all the data transferred asap. This one is running under ESXi, so i created a new 20GB vDisk, added it to the machine, however it is not showing, any ideas?

Did you try to install the latest DSM update?

It appears it now unmounts the volume on start.

Read this for info - think you can downgrade to get it all back as it was.

Sorry I don't use\know about ESXi. Someone maybe along to help soon

So no fix so far for the new update 4482. But I hope gnoBoot sorts it out in 10.06

Indeed. Hope that once that is sorted, it will be easy street for a while

Just a heads up but versions 4.1 to 5.0 are open to OpenSSL Heartbeat attacks. Synology has released patches for 4.3 and 5.0 but they've yet (when i checked the other day) made their way to XPenology - traitor has said he'll patch the 4.3 3827 beta release.

It is however possible to patch it manually, either by compiling the OpenSSL source or extracting OpenSSL from the 'critical update' patch - did the latter on a 4.3 3810 test VM and it appears to work, certainly passed Nessus' heartbeat test (tested pre and post).

I tested for hearbleed at this site https://filippo.io/Heartbleed/ and it says all is ok. I do use No_ip ddns.

It seems that hammering the drive with downloads caused the panic, moving the download folder seems to have fixed things. However plex updated and failed to let me connect until i redid the port forwarding

Glad you got it sorted and posted how you did it

Does this help you in anyway http://cyanlabs.co.uk/news/how-to-install-esxi-on-n54l-and-xpenology-on-esxi

Yes and no, i followed a guide posted for tranitors version, however I am going to try gnoboot over the weekend. Just need to do a backup which I will run tomorrow night during quiet time

deuse · 1 May 2014 at 13:22

How to install gnoBoot is also on that site.

deuse · 9 May 2014 at 20:40

Still no news about a new gnoBoot, but I hope he sorts out the 4482 problem.

For 5.0, update '4458' patches OpenSSL to 'g'; 4.3, it's '3827 Update 2' (HERE) - anything below than are you're open to to the attack.
Easiest way to check is to SSH into the box and run

Code:

openssl version

Saying that, i've yet to bother updating my 4.3 3810 install mainly because it isn't internet facing and sits behind a VPN if i need remote access.

(Hopefully) a quick noob question ......

I am clearing my study / man cave out and fitting a new Worktop/desk this weekend and disconnecting all my PC / server etc

When I come to out it all back is there anything in particular I need to do to restart the NAS ?

Cheers

It would be a real shame if this proved to be the end of this project. It doesn't seem like it would be unsurmountable, but it is dependant on a single person willing to put the time in. But at least it is all working as it should, so not a huge deal.

I can't see any problems you would have. You've got the usb stick still in ect?

Something is deleting files after a reboot, they know what's getting deleted it's just what script is doing it.

{SAS}TB · 11 May 2014 at 22:35

Yep, had to bob into BIOS and change 1st boot device to USB.

deuse · 13 May 2014 at 07:45

I see a new version of nanoboot is out and you can install 4482. But I don't think it's up\down gradable
like gnoBoot. So I will wait till the new gnoBoot comes out.
