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.

Thanks for the update. You always do your research, so I'll follow your lead

Nanoboot is having driver problems, so I'm glad I never tried it.
If you want any drivers in the next gnoBoot then post here with a link to the Linux drivers.

Going to give Nanoboot 64 a try. Well I'm bored

Nope it never worked. 100% going to wait for gnoBoot now

It's been over a week but I've finally got my XPEnology Microserver running as I want it. It didn't help that SynoCommunity has been down all this time so it was a bit of a struggle getting Sickbeard and Sabnzbd working properly.

Currently running a 3 x 3TB array (one disk for redundancy) and will be slotting in a 4th soon. Plex runs really well on it and works amazingly well with my Sammy LCD.

Quick question though. The last thing I want to get running and has been causing problems is PlexConnect. The app starts but then quickly quits reporting that port 80 is already in use. Isn't port 80 used by the web front end? How do I get around this?

Is PlexConnect for apple tv?

I use android and everything works. I know this is no help to you.

ThePirateHulk · 19 May 2014 at 09:55

Yeah trying to connect my Apple TV. I'm getting tired of re-encoding media just to get it working on my bedroom apple TV

If I can't find a solution no big deal. I may just sell my apple tv and get some other box that supports plex...or just a new Smart TV for the bedroom.

Are you running httpd on port 80 already(it's a server)

I'm not aware of httpd running and can't see any options for that.

deuse · 19 May 2014 at 14:17

Are you using a apple of a PC? if it's an apple then get as in the link.

ThePirateHulk · 19 May 2014 at 22:10

Surely that link is only relevant if running PlexConnect an an apple machine rather than on an XPEnology. I'm confused.

Anymore news re: Gnoboot ?

deuse · 21 May 2014 at 20:58

No update as yet. Trantor has started looking in to it. But I'm hoping gnoBoot comes out soon.

Question please ...is it best to run Xpenology from a USB stick.? Or could I install it on a small SSD.?

The USB stick has to stay in. Also the N54L has to boot from the USB stick.
The way synology works is that it writes the OS to all the HDs installed.

Hi,

I've got an N54L I have yet to do much with.

Which version of XPenology would be best to fiddle about with to get a feel for it before migrating my hard disks and data from my old FreeNas Shuttle?

deuse · 23 May 2014 at 08:34

gnoBoot is the best. And all the mobile synology apps work with it.

Tesla · 23 May 2014 at 08:59

Thanks, will have a little play around with it.

Don't try nanoboot as it's not working on some systems.

MehulLakhani · 23 May 2014 at 14:59

I take it Gnoboot is still not working with the latest version of DSM ?

Hi,

Can anyone please confirm what the BIOS settings need to be for this?

SATA Mode should be AHCI, RAID or IDE?

Thanks
