I have been using a HS-DH500GL for nearly a decade, but the 500GB drive is just too small anymore, so I have decided to put a 2TB drive in it (512KB sector size). Using linux, I cloned the partition map of the old drive (with sfdisk), formatted the partitions appropriately (sdb1 = ext3, sdb2 = xfs, sdb5 = swap, sdb6 = xfs), enlarged the main storage partition and filesystem (with gparted), and copied the files from the old drive over to the new drive (using tar to preserve links and permissions). I put the new drive into my Linkstation, but it boots into Emergency mode. It gets an IP address from my DHCP server, and NAS Navigator finds it successfully as device HS-DHGL-EMEE1 at the right IP address and reports that it is in Emergency mode.
However, the firmware updater can't find the device.
I am using the firmware (version 214_102) from this page:
http://www.buffalotech.com/support/downloads/linkstation-live-250gbHowever, I keep getting the error that device HS-DHTGL can't be found.
I have tried everything recommended in these forums and in the knowledge base.
- I have tried using the reset button to force the unit to use IP 192.168.11.150 and changed my computer's IP address to be 192.168.11.1
- I have tried editing the lsupdater.ini file to enable debugging, skip the version check, and /force the update.
- I have tried running the recommended TSUPdater using /force and as an administrator under Windows 10, and I have also tried using the older update.app available for Mac OS.
Nothing will recognize the device as eligible for firmware upgrade.
What am I missing?
