Hello. Is a Lacie CloudBox with RJ45, my box is 3TB and a 2TB (no HDD)
I can see several partitions but can access only 2. The other partitions are in raid operated by the cloudbox. The CloudBox uses a 3TB Sata HDD " Please explain. You do not normally boot from network harddisks, although you can boot from the network for thin client purposes. For that, you have to provide a BOOTP / DHCP / TFTP / similar server and configure a virtual boot disk. Not sure if NAS tend to support it." What i meant to say was, the CloudBox OS can't boot the HDD, therefore there is no ip address for windows/linux to connect to. https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/143651810765_/Lacie-Cloudbox-3TB-Hard-Drive-Huge-Memory-Storage.jpg https://moviesgamesandtech.com/2012/12/12/product-review-lacie-cloudbox/4/ On Tue, Nov 17, 2020 at 2:40 PM Eric Auer <e.a...@jpberlin.de> wrote: > Hi Joao Silva, > > > I have a Lacie external HDD with RJ45 with a 3TB HDD and I > > can't boot the HDD. > > Are you sure that it is RJ45?
