Re: Need a help with upgrading nsa 325 v2 kernel - 2 months ago

Thank you very much Somehow fw_pribt env wasn't installed so I had to follow some guide here on the forum I'm. No expert but I see this line: dtb_file=/boot/dts/kirkwood-nsa325.dtb So I guess I'm done

One more question: you tell to keep note of the kirkwood tds model, say kirkwood-nsa325, but I haven't used it anywhere: do I miss something else?

i've changed a bit the /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf i've set dep, and i've used gzip, compress level 5 as compression, cause update initram tells me it's using gzip since it can't find zstd to compress things however the outcome is always the same: ➜ /boot nano /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf ➜ /boot update-initramfs -u update-initramfs: Gener

Can I safely reboot without the uenv file and if the initrd is too big?

Need a help with upgrading nsa 325 v2 kernel - 2 months ago

Hi I've just started following the instructions to upgrade my box kernel to 6.13,,but I. Can't seem to shrink initrd to a reasonable size: it always stands at 13 Mb: am I missing something? And if I make the uenv.Txt file, somehow the HD I use as storage has raid partitions (so my disk is full of /dev/mtdblock4 etc) shoulf I mention those partitions together with ide USB etc? And h

Re: maybe a raid got corrupted? - 5 years ago

Oh, mounting md0 works No idea why a raid is there, besides its involving just one partition.. Can I disassemble a raid without formatting?

hi all i've just finished formatting my nsa box, but i can't access the 2nd hard disk: before it was accessible on /srv/devfoofoofoo/ now this is all i can master: FDISK Disk /dev/mtdblock0: 1 MiB, 1048576 bytes, 2048 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Di

Re: nsa325 v2 "formatting" - 5 years ago

alas i cannot even do apt update: i get "indentation error" and other nice stuff so i gotta go for the for the erasure.. just i noticed that according to /etc/fstab my rootfs should be an ext4.. is it an issue?

Re: nsa325 v2 "formatting" - 5 years ago

thank you for your answer, i didn't remember i had to follow the topic to be notified do you think it is worth trying to jump from stretch to buster before replacing the rootfs?

nsa325 v2 "formatting" - 5 years ago

Hi it's been a while i enjoyed playing with my kirkwood so i've forgotten everything; my issue is rather simple: some packages like apache2 are missing dependencies and this broke even ftp connections since i've been trying hard to fix it, even by adding newer repos, i guess the easiest solution is to format and reinstall debian, just i don't remember how to do it and abo

Re: OMV alternative? - 7 years ago

welll somehow i could recover it.... cpulimit script conflicted with watchdog and somehow it didn't cope with amule-daemon so i had to move the script, reboot, could install amule things, then made sure the daemon booted along with the nas, i could put the cpulimit back in place i repeat: no idea why all of this happened, but now it seems to work fairly

Re: OMV alternative? - 7 years ago

weeelll... i just wanted to have the donkey ready to be used.... but now.. stubborn as it is it won't work but now my issue is: should i format the hd and put the bodhi prepared operative system upon it, or i can somehow fix it?

Re: OMV alternative? - 7 years ago

Darn technological evolution! when shall we learn! when!? however... let's check if i can avoid formatting: i've successfully installed amule, then i said myself: let's install amule-adunanza (which is a modified version of amule for my internet provbider) as well! i got till the point i got the message: configure: error: wxWidgets must be installed on your system

Re: OMV alternative? - 7 years ago

i didnt even suspect there was an alternative to dos in those times.... i'm a consumer, or a user which feels unlucky.. not sure yet QuoteGravelrash not sure i agree with that... linux users, as opposed to linux consumers, are usually a bunch of technical people who can find a different way to do the same thing when a developer drops what they consider to be an aged architecture. anyo

Re: OMV alternative? - 7 years ago

actually i've started arranging myself, as you said: omv is useful just to set permissions with a couple of clicks and it doensìt burn the cpu . i've successfully added amule, though it took me a little more than i expected to have it working i've had to install cpulimit to keep amule quiet then i have had to add an entry in cron to restart cpulimit daemon since after some 15

Re: OMV alternative? - 7 years ago

thank you for your prompt reply, but my issue is slightly different: it's not how to, but compatibility: debian stretch is ocmpatible with omv4, but omv4 plugins won't be developed at all for armel architecture, which my nsa325v2 seems to belong to

OMV alternative? - 7 years ago

Hi all, thanks to bodhi's patience i've been able to make my nsa325v2 boot from linux. Now i have another difficult question: omv 4 is noty uspporting plugins for armel cpus: is there any other a bit graphic nas tool to be installed over a debian basis? i mean a gui with possibility to control file sharing, jdownlaoder, hosting, etc?
