Zyxel NAS326 Installation Instruction

mixpc,

I see. I don't have an answer regarding this, since I never really used stock FW in any meaningful way at all. I've only booted into stock OS a few times to extract information to build the new kernel for it.

Hi,

I need some help here. I installed OMV, but after I edit any network setting in the web interface, if I reboot, I cannot access the NAS anymore. I connected it by the serial cable and I can see that it can't configure the network during the boot:

[FAILED] Failed to start Wait for Network to be Configured.
See 'systemctl status systemd-networkd-wait-online.service' for details.

after that message it runs the script to set the persistent MAC address.

So using the serial connection, I can run the omv-firstaid to set the network and it works, until the next reboot...

So I am thinking the problem is the persistent MAC address script is running AFTER the the Network Configuration.

Do you know how can I force the persistent MAC address script to run before the Network Configuration?

Since you are running systemd, I cannot help you troubleshoot. But the basic idea is you should look for way to setup/modify a systemd target for network service.

And that should be an equivalence of sysvinit /etc/network/interfaces, where you can set the MAC address explicitly (in this case you don't need to use the set_persistent_mac_address script).

Thanks for replying and for the suggestion. I will keep trying to find a way to make it work. This is the last piece of the puzzle to make OMV5 work...

Hello,

Here is an update. I could not make the OMV5 GUI network settings work, but I set up the IP and DNS manually and it worked!!

Now everything is working! But the SMB still slower than the stock firmware. I am getting 60MB/s with OMV5, while the stock firmware transfer speed is about 105MB/s.

I tried to use the stock SMB settings, it didn't make any effect.

Iperf tests shows the same speed in stock firmware and with the OMV5(about 950Mb/s).

I will keep trying to make the SMB transfer speeds at least similar to the stock...

Hi, thanks for the great informative page. I was able to boot from a USB drive using method B. I then tried the same method with an external ssd drive but it does not boot the NAS 326 box. Does the ssd need a different preparation to boot from it than a usb drive?

Tasmin,

An external SDD with USB interface is the same as an USB flash drive. But it is best to prepare the rootfs as it was a USB drive (meaning with USB cable and attached to a Linux box). And did you use the NAS326 front USB port?

If you have serial console, post the entire boot log.

Hi guys. I'm wondering if Bullseye rootfs image for NAS326 is on the way or it still need a bit time for cooking?

Thanks.

It will be either this weekend or next weekend.

Heap thanks for your awesome contributions bodhi.

Can't wait for this Lol.

Thanks for the reply bodhi.

I figured out the problem with the ssd format. The partition table type was "gpt", and after I wrote the partition table with type "msdos" then created an "ext3" type partition with label "rootfs", and followed the rest of the instructions, I was able to boot NAS326 from it.

Thanks for the great instructions.

I made a cockpit add-on for the debian system for NAS326 that shows the CPU temperature and fan speed.


You need to install the cockpit plugin first:

# sudo apt -y install cockpit
# mkdir -p /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/udisks2/modules
# mkdir -p /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/udisks2/modules

cockpit is available at port 9090 :

https://[NAS IP address]:9090

After that, just follow the instructions from my git repo to install the add-on:

https://github.com/tasmin/cockpit-zyxel-NAS326-cpu-plugin

I'm running the latest zyxel firmware... so idk if maybe these instructions were meant for an older fw.

NAS326 V5.21(AAZF.9)C0

I attempted the "Instruction for booting the NAS326 with a USB rootfs (setup without serial console)" instructions using Debian-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2

Pretty much the process I used

mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdg1

mount /media/sdf /dev/sdg1

cd /media/sdf

tar -xjf /root/Debian-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 .

and it won't boot to the usb.

I can chroot into the install, but it always boot's busybox.

cd /
mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /mnt
mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc
mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/sys		

chroot /mnt /bin/bash

I've been doing some comparisons between methods

I've noticed two variances between instructions (i.e. the link to the without dongle says "deprecated" and the one that isn't is referencing 4.9) and this is my best guess as to maybe what I need to include?

fw_setenv load_dtb_addr 0x1000000

fw_setenv usb_bootcmd 'echo Booting from USB ...; setenv fdt_skip_update yes; run usb_init; ext2load usb 0:1 $load_image_addr /boot/uImage; ext2load usb 0:1 $load_initrd_addr /boot/uInitrd; run usb_set_bootargs; bootm $load_image_addr $load_initrd_addr'

apparently it doesn't boot anymore. Just solid white lights. I was able to factory reset it once, but second try no... I'm going to order one of those cables now.

thistleknot,

Looks like you've used the wrong instruction. Note the bold line in the correct instruction below.

Starting with the rootfs Debian-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2, we load uImage and uInitrd, and use bootm. With previous rootfs (Debian-4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2), we load zImage and uInitrd, and use bootz.

You did not wait for me to respond to your 1st post :) You could have booted with the rootfs Debian-4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2.

So what you did later:

Quote

fw_setenv usb_bootcmd 'echo Booting from USB ...; setenv fdt_skip_update yes; run usb_init; ext2load usb 0:1 $load_image_addr /boot/uImage; ext2load usb 0:1 $load_dtb_addr /boot/dts/armada-380-z
yxel-nas326.dtb; ext2load usb 0:1 $load_initrd_addr /boot/uInitrd; run usb_set_bootargs; bootz $load_image_addr $load_initrd_addr $load_dtb_addr'

has basically soft-bricked the box.

Both the load command and the boot command are now incorrect.

Yes, you need serial console to recover.

Note the current bootcmd_custom env:

fw_setenv bootcmd_custom 'if run usb_bootcmd; then; else if run bootcmd_stock_1; then; else run bootcmd_stock_2; reset; fi; fi'
fw_setenv kernel_addr_1 '0x00000000; run bootcmd_custom; '

While you wait for the serial console, you could try: remove all disk drives, and power up. See if the fallback will boot stock FW again.

I got the serial dongle. I can see the terminal (thank you valuable experience at Directv)

I'll try the older deprecated instructions, but how do I get it to work with the latest build (5.15)? as found here: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,32146

Also, how do I restore original firmware?

I can get it to boot to USB, but it drops me to initramfs (following instructions for 5.13 here: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,32146)

I couldn't get it to boot initially from USB until I recalled I wasn't doing this from busybox, but from Marvell, so I ran this from Marvell (which are the instructions for 5.2.9 https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,88619,page=1, you'll have to forgive my confusion, the instructions are all over the place (I get it, I do similar).

Now that I have this working with the latest kernel. I'm booting from a usb3 flash drive. Is there a nice way to get this to boot from the rear ports?

Could I change usb 0:1 to usb1:1? Or something to that effect?

I know usb 3 has different drivers... so I thought I'd ask first.

The main reason for me wanting to do this is because of the swap file honestly.

Hi bodhi,

First of all, thank you very much for your strong efforts to keep our systems running, updated an alive! I very much appreciate your work here and I'm quietly following your manuals since years! And every manual was working fine, since my NSA325 broke a week ago. I bought a brand new NAS326 as a replacement and want to install a Debian on the box. I followed your instructions (A. with serial console) to set the environment for booting from USB and set up a rootfs USB drive (https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,32146). Unfortunately, the USB drive doesn't boot (see below) and the system boots into the stock OS.

After interrupting the timeout during boot process, the following printenv can be captured:

shaman,

Yes, it seems there is something wrong about the rootfs.

1. Mount the USB rootfs on another Linux box (assuming it is mounted at /media/sdb1)

cd /media/sdb1/boot
ls -lart

2. And with the USB rootfs attached, at serial console prompt,

usb start
ext2ls usb 0:1 /boot
ext2load usb 0:1 $load_image_addr /boot/uImage

Please post the log of 2 steps above.

Ok, the problem is definitely the rootfs. But what went wrong, when setting it up?

shaman,

u-boot did not recognize the drive this time:

Quote

scanning usb for storage devices... 0 Storage Device(s) found

usb reset

Do reset a few times to see if it is spun up by u-boot. Sometime the USB drive brand is important for older u-boot (Sandisk is best to use).

usb reset comes to the same result.

I know that at the attempts before, there were 2 USB devices found and 1 storage device. Now, it doesn't make any difference, which USB slot I use.

Ok, thank you for your help! I'm setting up a new USB drive!

Kind regards,

shaman

Ok, problem solved!

The problem was a broken copy&paste:
"load_imagdr=0x02000000" should be "load_image_addr=0x02000000"

Instead of using "usb start", you better have to "run usb_init" in order to execute two mw.l commands. Only this make the USB devices being recognized.

Thank you, bodhi!

Hi!

I have combined two 8TB disks with jbod to one disk group on my NAS326, and I wonder what is the easiest way to install rootfs Debian on internal HDD without serial console. The disks are new and I have yet not copied any important stuff on them, so I can reformat etc. Do I have to connect the disks to an external Linux PC, or can I do all on the NAS? Here is some info about the NAS:

The easiest way to install is on USB rootfs. After you can boot with USB rootfs, then proceed to reformat this disk to your liking. That way you can see if you are going to use JBOD or separate them individual ones (I would to keep the configuration as simple as possible).

And then depending on your need, create a rootfs partition of 100GB or some size that you are comfortable with (it must be the 1st partition on the HDD).

And then copy the USB rootfs over to one of the HDD partitions (as root, and label it rootfs, etc.).
