Linux Kernel 6.7.5 Kirkwood package and Debian rootfs

@pbg4,

I'm patching the kernel for individual ide disk LED triggers. Rebuilding the kernel and probably will have some time to test it this wekend.

@pbg4 & enavarrocu & others,

If you have 2 SATA hard disks mounted on your NSA320, or GoFlex Net, could you list your devices and post the content here:
ls -lR /dev/disk/

I think even though we can use both SATA disks without problem, the mv sata driver does not seem to polulate the device list correcty (at least for my GoFlex Net).

Thanks!

Hi bodhi,

in the nas-central forum thread on the nsa310/320 kernel in the zyxel subforum there was a while ago a patch for full
sata-disk and usb-disk activity, look for nsa3x0.patch_v5.2.txt where everything
was included, there are modified versions of "LED IDE-Disk Activity Trigger" subroutine in it,
however this means quite some work to adopt for newer kernel, it was on my todo list for
some time now, but I never had the time to look really into it,

best wishes pbg4

@bodhi, as I noticed the same LED behaviour:

Hi gaogao,

I can see /dev/sda is one of your internal SATA disks. But the other one? which letter is that one assigned to?

I recalled someone reported this when he/she tried to implement RAID on GoFlex Net. It looks like we have this bug in both GoFlex Net and NSA320, where device-by-path does not populate both, onely one SATA disk is present.

Thanks,

BTW, the device-by-path is a different problem. Individual hardisk LEDs trigger is really not a problem, it just was not implemented. The implementation is not very complicated so I've added the code and tested my patch for controlling the 2 hadrdisk LED on the GoFlex Net individually and it works really well.

I will update the kernel with this patch.

ah, I forgot to disconned the external usb disk (sdc). The SATA disks are sda and sdb.

Hi pbg4,

I could not find this file at nas-central site (I'm not familiar with the navigation, and search did not turn up). I'd like to see what's in this patch, i.e. if it addresses the device-by-path problem.

Hi bodhi,

the following link leads directly to the page where the patch mentioned (from Piotr Gozdur Nas-central forum member)
with the version v5.2 is linked to (see post no 9 down the page), I looked through it, there seems to be nothing concerning the device-by-path problem, the download link of the patch is still working,..

Thanks pbg4!

Looks like Piotr Gozdur and I had the similar idea! but Piotr's patch is a little more elaborated. The patch also has a LED timer trigger, which I think is probably a little bit too much. But it might be useful for somebody.

BTW, if you want to extract the patch for LED triggers only then see these 3 files:

Hi bodhi,

yes, the timer trigger is not really necessary, and I favour your patch because it has the least amount
of code lines to get the leds for individual disks working, so its easy to incorporate into the next kernel
generations,..

best wishes pbg4

Everything is working smooth with the leds. Thanks bodhi and pbg4.

What about the temperature sensors and fan control?

Are they working? Or did you mean if can they be hooked to flash certain LEDs?

@enavarrocu:

lm-sensors on the NSA320 can get activated quite easily,...

you will only need to get the nsa3xx_hwmon module compiled,
which is already included in the patch used for the
linux-3.11.1-kirkwood-tld-2-bodhi kernel, but not yet activated in the config,

if you want to compile it yourself you can use my recipe for recompiling all
the hwmon modules which is already posted in this thread a little
while ago,... with CONFIG_SENSORS_NSA3XX=m activated in the config,..

best wishes pbg4

p.s. I have not really investigated how to get pwmconfig working on the NSA320,
because the devices needed for pwmconfig to set up basic speeds in /etc/fancontrol
do not show up,...

on the other hand an adequately sized resistor soldered in the red cable of the NSA320 fan
also does the job quite nicely,... :)

@bodhi

I mean everything is working perfect with the leds.

Thanks one more time.

IIRC - the NSA320's MCU controls the PWM of the fan, same with the NSA325

Is there a version of the 3.11.1 rootfs that would be better suited to install and run on a partition on the hard drive (i.e. log to ram) rather than a usb? or would I be able to accomplish the same thing by uninstalling busybox-syslogd?

thanks

maihoa,

Yes, you can uninstall syslogd, and logging will go to /var/log/message.

Or keep it and change the option to log to a file.

cat /etc/init.d/busybox-syslogd

# Additional options that are passed to the daemons.  Default is to log
# to ring buffer (to be read with logread(1)) and drop duplicates.
SYSLOG_OPTS="-C128"
KLOG_OPTS=""

# busybox syslogd --help
BusyBox v1.20.2 (Debian 1:1.20.0-7) multi-call binary.

Usage: syslogd [OPTIONS]

System logging utility
(this version of syslogd ignores /etc/syslog.conf)

	-n		Run in foreground
	-O FILE		Log to FILE (default:/var/log/messages)
	-l N		Log only messages more urgent than prio N (1-8)
	-S		Smaller output
	-R HOST[:PORT]	Log to IP or hostname on PORT (default PORT=514/UDP)
	-L		Log locally and via network (default is network only if -R)
	-C[size_kb]	Log to shared mem buffer (use logread to read it)

The second LED does not reflect second HDD accesses for me, the first one seems to be doing both hdd despite:

none nand-disk timer oneshot [ide-disk1] ide-disk2 heartbeat gpio default-on
root@mynas:~$ cat /sys/class/leds/nsa320:red:hdd2/trigger
none nand-disk timer oneshot ide-disk1 [ide-disk2] heartbeat gpio default-on

Did you try to turn on/off each HDD LED with echo? what do you see with these (in various order):

echo default_on > nsa320:green:hdd1
echo default_on > nsa320:green:hdd2
echo none > nsa320:green:hdd2

they do react properly both red and green.
What appears to be not working is the trigger to ide-disk2 (on both LEDs).
It seems as only ide-disk1 is ok.

Ah! then I am not sure. Because it works fine on GoFlex Net. I might have to check the ALARM patch to see if they have updated it since I extracted the patch a while ago. The new patch to the 3 files I mentioned above should work the same way on GoFlex Net and NSA320.

@pbg4,
Did this patch work in your build?

@bodhi:

I have not rebuild the 3.10 kernel used on my NSA320 to a newer version since quite a while,

but I see no reason why your ide-led patch should not work on the NSA320,
since I need s2-liplianin-v39 drivers for some dvbs usb dongles on my NSA320
boxes I'm going to stick to the 3.10 series and will test it and report back after a rebuild,....

best wishes pbg4

@pbg4,

If for what ever reason that it does not work in NSA320, then I think it might be something related to the SATA port number assignments (the GoFlexNet runs different uBoot patched version) .

Also, I've been wondering what the SATA port numbers assignment would be if we plug in a 4-disk eSata enclosure with port multiplier?!

gee-man,

After you're back running 3.3.2, could you get the list of your modules with lsmod and post the output here? Could be some missing modules that are needed by ipsec.

Thanks,
