Fans on nsa320 and 325 aren't controllable (controlled by an independent chip).Īlso discovered that my nsa310 can actually boot the NAS from USB too, although it's probably better to wait OpenmediaVault 2.0 to use usb flash drives as system drive, due to fixes and improvements in that area (and a better openmediavault-flashmemory plugin).Īlso because a Sata drive is faster than most USB drives, and you can feel the difference from the webinterface.Ĭan you please test installing and booting to/from a USB flash drive in your nsa320? Lights don't work on nsa310 but it's probably just a matter of changing some settings or adding a driver, will do it later.įan on nsa310 should be theoretically controllable, but I have not managed to (boy. Now it installs fine on either USB or Sata drives connected to it. I got the nsa310 and fixed the installation.

much more complex than that, as drivers for linux partitions aren'e anywhere near decent enough afaik. The archives above will be extractable by right-clicking on them because the archive manager programs are pre-installed. That disk contains a program called Gparted, it is the partitioning/formatting tool with graphical user interface. Using a flash drive instead of a DVD would help it, just google it. Being run from a DVD means it will be slow. It may or may not work depending on how much it likes your GPU (AMD goes well, Nvidia meh).

It does not install anything without telling you but runs a full graphical interface, which is useful. Get a Linux Mint Xfce live DVD (use your favourite torrent downloader, ensures that the file isn't corrupted) and boot your PC from that. Then you can place the drive in the NAS and it will boot to Openmediavault. Then you extract the content of "debian-omv-kirkwood-tar" inside the 10GB partition. Then you extract the content of "bootNSA320.tar" inside the 100MB partition. Make the partitions in this order, first "boot" then "rootfs" then the "data" one.

You need to connect the hard drive to a PC (either with sata cable or through a USB docking station or enclosure) and make a 100MB partition, format it as ext2 and give it label "boot", make another partition 10GB big, format it as ext4, give it label "rootfs", the rest of the space goes in a third partition, formatted as ext4, label "data" (or whatever, as long as it is not the same name as the other two). So that is still useful, and must be run anyway.īut the partitioning and extracting must be done manually.

The part that works is the one changing bootloader to boot from Sata drive then to try booting its own firmware. The script as it is now fails to find the sata drive so all the partitioning and unzipping does not happen.

Will give you quick manual instructions to get OMV running. They must have done too much weird things I can't see from a forum post. Heh, so it's beyond my ability until I get a NSA310 (I need it for other reasons too) and I can go and try hacking it on my own.
