The 3rd question is
So yes to "poweroff" ?
And Ethernet LED is white, did it light up white or not light up at all?
... About other info, can you post it?

3. Which command did you use to power down? "poweroff" or "shutdown -h now" ?

nielsek,
> yes, "poweroff" was used.
What do you see in dmesg when you power off?
On one terminal, connect serial console, and on 2nd terminal
One thing that I have not figured out is how turn on the ethernet LED light correctly, so I need all the info I can get from a different box to compare with mine. The fact that you did not see the amber or green ethernet LED is a puzzle!

poweroffThis way you would capture everything that the kernel does during power off.

nielsek,
At the moment, I think the MAC address stored in the NIC itself is the problem (or one of the problems) with WOL.
I think it is time for me to seriously look at how to make stock u-boot deal with the DTB correctly.
Stock u-boot can deal with DTB, but its code was an pretty old version so I had to force it not to pass it to the kernel.
Or I need to start building new u-boot for it.

There are several MAC addresses defined in u-boot env. Perhaps one of them is the one stored in the NIC. I recall there is one of the Zyxel boxes (can't remember which) that can only WOL by using the Marvell MAC address (the NIC chip is Marvell), but not by the Zyxel MAC address.

but this new kernel and patch fixes another issue:
Someone has to replace his NAS326 because the NAND gets corrupt ant it doesn't boot anymore..
The replacement from ZyXEL has issues when using the rootfs (kernel 4.9).
The ethernet device is coming up but DHCP timeouts (as seen on NSA310s / NSA320s).
Setting up the network staticly changes nothing.
rebooting directly from ZyXEL OS to Debian .. same thing ..
"cold" boot .. same thing ...
He tried the new uploaded kernel and now it's working as it should.

That meant you have not applied all the patches. Have you tried running kernel 4.10.9-mvebu-tld-1?

Cool! but his ethernet problem might have been the lack of /etc/network/interfaces hwaddress.

Well I have decided to move from stock OS to debian on my NAS326 using Method "A" in the corresponding thread. But not luck, it keeps booting back to stock OS all the time. I have tried different USB Ports and different USB sticks as well without any success. rootfs has been extracted as root (not sudo). Also verified multiple times the envs being set correct. Only difference to the guide is that I used gtkterm instead of kwboot to enter the envs but I guess that should not make a difference, or? kwboot did not detect anything and spinning forever. I'm clueless.

To enter envs, it does not matter which program you are using.
Please post the entire serial console log where you attempt to do section A, with listing of modified u-boot envs before boot.

> r. I'm clueless.
Post the terminal session log where you execute kwboot. And also which type of the PC/Mac system OS where you run kwboot.

See attached logfile.
I used kwboot that came with ubuntu (16.04 x86). There are no error messages it just spinning forever. But that is only a minor problem since I can connect via terminal to the device without issues.

Thank you very much :-)
Unfortunately still no luck, see this
UPDATE: Now finally got it to boot. I used various Toshiba and Lexar USB sticks and they failed to get detected for whatever reason. Sandisk solved the problem.

pengu & sebr,
Please try WOL to see if you see the same behavior that I and others have seen.
I dont expect it to work. But it's good to compare notes on behavior to confirm. We should observe the ethernet LED during shutdown, and then try WOL with all ether addresses that are defined in the stock u-boot envs.

Could somebody pls give feedback about the SMB speeds that you guys get with the latest rootfs and kernel?
Read AND write speed are ~60 MB/s only, with many ups and downs. Tested with an ext4 Volume on the internal bay and GBit Network.
That is far below the file transfer speed with stock os. I have tried a few samba tweaks but that not made any big difference.
Speed of the disks is not the limiting factor:
Also network is not the bottleneck:

bodhi, I checked that already and trimmed my smb.conf according to the instructions. Also played around with socket options without any difference in terms of read or write speed.
While testing the raw performance of the disk using dd and iperf for network I observed the system with htop and cpu was continously maxed out. I wonder if this is the normal behavior that raw disk I/O (dd) put such heavy load on the cpu?!
I did some more testing with FTP. Large files upload to the NAS with ~78 MB/s and download from the NAS to PC with ~86 MB/s. Even the FTP results are far below the stock SMB speeds.

I would not worry about this. In a test using iperf or dd, those processes should max out the CPU since nothing else that CPU-intensive is running.
I have not paid attention to the performance tuning for Samba and NFS. I expect that some forum members will investigate and contribute with their setup. So far no one has :) I guess I should revisit this at some time in the future.

SAMBA performance .. it needs some tweaking on Kirkwood boxes ... here .. one line is enough ...
103 mb/s read ... 98 mb/s write ... (windows 10)
a little more on my Gentoo Linux box

Hi all!
I tried to follow the instructions (Part B: setup without a serial console) but I feel I messed things up as the NAS326 doesn't boot either with (Debian) or without (stock) an attached USB stick.
The output of fw_printenv after the modifications are here:
Any ideas how to proceed? Do I need to setup a serial console?
Thanks,
Johannes
