Hi chessplayer, boot_sata1 (or 2) is the bootcommand to use. You probably created the partition on another computer and yor NSA320 does not recognise the partition. The problem obviously lies here: Failed to mount ext2 filesystem... My suggestion is to start over again: - boot from usb - insert only one disk into the left bay - wipe the partition table (ALL DATA WILL BE LOST!!!): dd if=/dev/by HellG - Debian
Hi, did anybody test the performance of the NSA320? According to the specs it should be at least par with the GoFlex Net but with more ram (512 vs 128 MB). However testing transfer performance from my PC to the box it seems that it is as slow as my old DNS-323: NSA320 internal: sda -> sdb file copy (7GB): ca 37MB/sec (measured with midnight commander) NSA320 -> PC (SMB): 14.5 MB/secby HellG - Debian
Hi, I only followed the instructions in the readme from the link in the first post. After that booting was never a problem. Keep in mind that the first is the left one but with "run boot_sata1" it should work from the uboot console immediately.by HellG - Debian
Yes, I updated the uboot to the version provided in the first post of this thread. Without provision to unbrick a really dead unit (I don't mean serial cable) I would not try any other image. HellGby HellG - Debian
I am using the uboot provided by davygravy in the first post here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7806. Do you think the error could be uboot related?by HellG - Debian
Hi, after dist-upgrading to wheezy (clean NSA320 root image from davygravy with kernel 3.3.2) the network interface did not fetch an IP via dhcp. I tracked the problem down to the system date beeing too old and without network ntp cannot get the correct date from the internet... Now with every "/etc/init.d/networking stop" I save the current date to a file and set the system time at evby HellG - Debian
Hi chessplayer, I am already beyond uboot and everything is fine. And yes, a serial connection is essential especially for monitoring the boot process (see below). I also had to upgrade to a newer kernel version as I had errors in the xfs data partition. I also had these errors with the 3.3.2 kernel before on my GoFlex Net with my old harddisks and blamed this 5 year old disk. But with my new NSby HellG - Debian
Thank you, install in progress... Reboot... Works! ssh -l root nas.... Works! uname -a: "Linux nas 3.8.4-dockstar #2 Wed Mar 27 17:10:47 CET 2013 armv5tel GNU/Linux" So far, so good! I will see during the next days if I will have XFS errors again. Thanks again.by HellG - Debian
Hi, does anybody use xfs filesystem with this kernel? I have my data on a xfs filesystem and face problems now and then that the filesystem cannot be mounted after reboot and I have to manually repair (with "-L" to wipe the journal) it. First I thought it is related to my old disks (WD10EACS, 5 years) on a GoFlex Net but after changing to a NSA320 with brand new harddisks (WD10EURX) Iby HellG - Debian
Ok, I think I found the reason why it is not possible to chainload the uboot image provided in the tarball (see here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,1593). It seems that some config variables used for compiling the bootloader prevent the chainloading. So I think I give it a shot and hope to find some support here if I brick my device...by HellG - Debian
Hi davygravy, after my good old DNS-323 is broken I continued a few weeks with the old disks on my GoFlex Net. But now the old harddisks showing more and more errors and so I bought a Zyxel NSA 320. I would like to install Debian on it but before I actually flash the new uboot I would like to at least test it and see if it works. On the old Dockstar I was able to "chainload" the newby HellG - Debian
Hi davygravy, thanks for the kernel, it works great on my Dockstar@1.5GHz (overclocking info at http://gsg-elektronik.de/index.php?id=96). Could you please upload the kernel-headers somewhere? I am trying to compile some DVB applications and for that I need the header files. Thank you. Best regards, HellGby HellG - Debian

Here is how I installed and booted Debian just yesterday on a SATA disk: Installed a recent uBoot (it says it is too old so I followed the instruction here: http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/) and a rescue system as described here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,3896 Booted the rescue system and plugged in the SATA drive Partitioned the SATA drive (/dev/sda1 2GB ext2, system; /dev/sda2by HellG - Debian
Ok, I think DSM 4.0 will not run on the GoFlex Net as too many internal functions of the Diskstation are not present (synobios, exact sata version etc.). But I think most of the software of the Diskstation can run on the GoFlex. So far the GUI is not working as it depends on bios functions that are not present.by HellG - Debian
Maybe the DS211j has some hardware features the Goflex has not. I think I will try the firmware for the Ds209 which has the same CPU too. I will report on Monday if it works.by HellG - Debian
Ok, "custom kernel" just ment one of my self compiled kernels for the goflex net. The Procedure is pretty simple: - already head a working debian with this kernel (2.6.35.4) - deleted everything on the usb stick except the "boot" directory - downloaded the DS211j firware "patch", which is basically a tar file - extracted the "hda1.tgz" to the usb sticby HellG - Debian
To be honest, I thought of the nice GUI... But anyway, I managed to boot the DS211j firmware with a custom kernel but as the scemd does not run due to custom synology functions the nice GUI is not running. Maybe I can patch a goflex kernel to mimic some of the necessary functions but so far I have no luck.by HellG - Debian

Hi gorgone, your kernel works quite well, even on ubuntu jaunty! And if you would rename it to something like "linux-image-2.6.35.4-dockstar_jaunty_armel.deb" then rootstock would even find it during the creation process of a root file system. I managed to create an ubuntu root file system with rootstock and running it now on the dockstar. Thanks to you and Jeff for the greatby HellG - Debian
