the lack of "/" at the front of the paths in the instructions is intentional. the goal is to create a directory (under the current directory) which will be used to create the "/" of the iso and then place the files we're adding in the correct relative locations. Finally we tell grub-mkrescue where that starting directory is and it will create the iso with those files included. If it worked you should see the *.buffalo files right in "/" of the resulting iso.
Ok, I follow you. This was was the first time I encountered that lack of '/'- with linux.
I just needed a fresh start today, I was getting confused yesterday between it all.
Even various distros have their way- of doing things. like having to sudo to even do a mkdir command! I was totally- thrown off.
There is a spot in the directions too that threw me off, I had to jump to another page- which isn't mentioned currently...
The iso seems to have built correctly today. But I am still having trouble.
The unit will boot to the EM mode with the flash drive though, so some progress...
I start the boot with a freshly pair of wiped hard drives.
When I run the v1.32 updater from here as you mentioned:
http://buffalo.jp/support_ap/support/products/ts_wvhl_r1.htmland using your ini edit and other steps here:
https://herzig-net.de/?page=unbrick_ls-wxlI pick just the 3 config options as listed, eventually I get format failed, update aborted.
I see on the console it's not making a raid 1 array correctly.
create RAID1 on /dev/md0 failed
create RAID1 on /dev/md2 failed
it pauses at
/dev/md0 is not a block special device
proceed anyway? (y,n)
And then it basically- the terastation dies out. A few minutes later, the updater app- errors out.
I cannot find the terastation, to start the second pass.
I close the updater and resume- it still cannot find the terastation.
I physically shut the terastation off, and restart, and then resume your instructions...
It finds it.
I check the four boxes on left under update, and two on the right for config: don't check version + force update
I get a partition not found, aborting firmware update.
Is that firmware you had me download, the right one? Or do we need to do something else on this one?
Thanks.
