NAS Forum

Hi opt12,
I run the latest kernel 6.1 on my NAS4220. Since I did not want to mess around with the original Redboot flash layout I decided to implement some patches. You find them in the repo below.

Would be great if you want to give it a try.

1.) clone the repo



2.) update feeds


3.) copy config-default to .config

4.) make menuconfig
-> select packages

5.) make

finally you find the update under

./bin/targets/gemini/generic

and you find all the nice packages under
./bin/packages/arm_fa526

To install the packages I recommend to insert USB flash drive (4 GB are more than sufficient) and configure this as overlay. All installations will be put on the drive since flash memory is spare. Then configure the software sources to point to the arm_fa526 (or copy it locally on the HDD somewhere).The main benefit is that my fork is flash layout compatible with the original Raidsonic firmware. So when you want to revert you can just install the original FW.


Good luck SM
PS: the default root password is "welcome" (without quotes), but you can put any hash you want into the template "target/linux/gemini/base-files/etc/passwd"

Hello.
I have been runing the smartsmurf release for a long time. The ethernet driver is not optimal, sometimes, I seem to see glitches in the network whenver i read/send data to/from the nas.
Still, the nas itself is enough even for day to day stuff and I would like to keep it running like this as it is mostly ok for normal home related activities.
I tried to build the openwrt release but I get an error on the the ethernet patch:

Any idea regarding how to fix that?:
(meanwhile, i wanted to add a usb wifi card driver in the process, but the outcome is identical even if i dont add the driver to the build)Applying /home/olivier/openwrt-ib4220/target/linux/gemini/patches-6.6/970-net-ethernet-cortina.patch using plaintext:
