-- Package-specific info: Boot method: U-Boot Image version: installer-armel/current/images/orion5x/netboot/qnap/ts-209/ 2008-10-29 Date: 2009-01-09 Machine: QNAP TS-209 II Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Install base system: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [O] Overall install: [O] Comments/Problems: I reused two hard disks which had previously been installed in another Linux-based NAS system. They were partitioned with /dev/sd[ab]1 providing /dev/md0, /dev/sd[ab]2 providing /dev/md1 and /dev/sd[ab]3 both having some swap space. I would have appreciated an option to wipe these partition tables and start from scratch, but that didn't seem to be available. In any case, I was completely unable to change anything the partition layout, always getting errors about the kernel being unable to reread the partition table, I'll have to reboot first, etc. In my frustration, I tried the option to delete data on a partition, which was extremely slow but didn't help at all. The error messages were all quite unhelpful, providing no clue what was going on, and I imagine many people would have given up at this point. Eventually, I dropped to a shell and realized that the installer had automatically added the swap partitions as swap space. "swapoff -a" didn't do anything useful, I had to execute "swapoff /dev/sda3; swapoff /dev/sdb3". After this, the partitioner worked as expected (though again, an option to simply wipe the partition tables and start from scratch would have been nice). -- ============================================== Installer lsb-release: ============================================== DISTRIB_ID=Debian DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Debian GNU/Linux installer" DISTRIB_RELEASE="5.0 (lenny) - installer build 20081029" X_INSTALLATION_MEDIUM=netboot ============================================== Installer hardware-summary: ============================================== umame -a: Linux debian 2.6.26-1-orion5x #1 Fri Oct 10 12:35:08 UTC 2008 armv5tel unknown lspci -knn: 00:00.0 Memory controller [0580]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
