    Richard Horwood on “Virtualbox, iSCSI targets and teleport” (2010) (somebody mentions there, that addiscsidisk got replaced and explains how) Johannes Schlüter on “iSCSI devices in VirtualBox” (2010) http://www.synology.com/us/solutions/iSCSI/ iSCSI supposes Gigabit LAN, so that’s a good reason to replace my last non-Gigabit FRITZ!Box by a Gigabit one. Somebody will get my last FRITZ!Box 7270 (non-Gigabit), and I will…

    https://www.united-domains.de There is not a web GUI way to configure that, but when I asked them over the phone, they just asked me to give them the details, and the task got accomplished within less than 2 hours. Now I am able to reach my home network with a really nice FQDN. Next steps: blogs are…

For the USB-connected NAS, this is “local UPS support“. This Synology device is now the “Synology UPS server“, that…

    I was trying to find an occurrence of /lib/cpp in a log file, and I wanted to avoid using ‘/’ in a regexp, so I tried ‘lib.’ instead. But that didn’t match the obvious occurrence. I executed a “:set magic”; the command got accepted, but that still didn’t change its behaviour. Installed VIM, tried the…

  • (cross) development toolchain for the Synology DiskStations (DS213+, DS112+, …) – which CPUs do they use?

    The gcc supplied by ipkg (for this model) is an ancient 3.4.6, apparently so outdated, that you cannot configure and compile “current” sources, at least neither a current rsync nor a current gcc. I guess I should go for Synology’s own toolchain for the DS213+. Where do they supply that? At www.synology.com > Support >…

    http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/Overview_on_modifying_the_Synology_Server,_bootstrap,_ipkg_etc Recently I found IPKG actually got abandoned, and the IPKG Perl on one of my Synology DiskStations wasn’t really functional at all (some broken dependency on a library to be loaded dynamically). That really frustrated me for a short period. Now I installed the IPKG optware-devel (compilation toolchain) and esp. gcc. Downloaded rsync sources, proceeded…
