From this same thread, Jessie seems to be uninstallable on this Nas : there is no suitable kernel anymore. > Also now that I have debian installed is it possible to restore the > partition from it and what might the command be. Here, the mtdX layout is the following : lothar:~# cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "RedBoot" mtd1: 00020000 00020000 "log" mtd2: 00040000 00020000 "rammode" mtd3: 00020000 00020000 "naskey" mtd4: 00200000 00020000 "zImage" mtd5: 00400000 00020000 "ramdisk.gz" mtd6: 01880000 00020000 "vendor" mtd7: 00080000 00020000 "wmdata" mtd8: 00001000 00020000 "RedBoot config" mtd9: 00020000 00020000 "FIS directory" So, intuitively, a command to restore the "vendor" partition would be : dd if=/somewehre/vendor of=/dev/mtd6 But I don't know if it's so simple ? Does someone has a better idea ? And on the another end, do you really need this "vendor" partition if all you want is running Debian on it ? > Thanx in advance for all the super support.
