Install Freenas On Iomega Storcenter Support
This tutorial uses unsupported features of the IOMEGA Storcenter ix4-200d. It worked for me but use it at your own risk! It should work (again, it is unsupported) on the ix2 Storcenter as well. Tutorial tested on IOMEGA Storcenter ix4-200d firmware 3.1.14.995 The aim of the tutorial is to be able to add programs to you NAS without having to go too deep in the system. This is also helpful to compile natively on the NAS without needing to cross compile for your architecture. SSH into your NAS See my other post: 2. Directory Structure on the NAS The Lifeline OS (Iomega's OS) does put most of the root file system in read only mode.

It is not much use to try to put stuff there anyway because the partitition is very small You can type: df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 45548 12% / /dev/root.old 6613 2119 4494 33% /initrd none 45548 12% / /dev/md0vg/BFDlv 41 16% /boot /dev/loop0 524 6953 99% /mnt/apps /dev/loop1 4959 2230 2473 48% /etc /dev/loop2 216 216 0 100% /oem tmpfs 255748 0 255748 0% /mnt/apps/lib/init/rw tmpfs 255748 0 255748 0% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/md0vg-vol1 16774 20% /mnt/system /dev/mapper/2602b0cevg-lv43ec31bd 41% /mnt/pools/A/A0 to see the partitions and their mountpoint. The idea seems to be that third party programs should be installed in the /opt/ directory, which has ample storage (16GB) whereas root (/) only has 50MB. Use ipkg ipkg is intalled by default in the Iomega storcenter. We just need to specify the right place to find the packages: vi /etc/ipkg.conf src cross src cross Then type: ipkg update to build the list of available packages. The problem of this setup is that you won't be able to install some packages because installation will fail because part of the filesystem is readonly. Thanks to ipkg, there is an easy fix: ipkg install ipkg-opt This installs the binary /opt/bin/ipkg-opt. The idea is then to use this binary instead of the regular ipkg: as a result all packages will be installed in /opt/ and you won't run into problems with the read only filesystem.
The only drawback is that /opt/bin/ is not in your path. There is a simple remedy for that: PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH Note: this is not persistent (if you start another shell, you will need to do that again).
Also, as a one time persistent thing, I recommand to do vi /etc/ld.so.conf and add /opt/lib/ at the end. That's the main problem with /opt installed software: you might end up to get duplicated libraries between /lib and /opt/lib (ldd and ldconfig are your friends).
You also need to do: mv /opt/etc/ipkg.conf /opt/etc/ipkg.conf.old ln -s /etc/ipkg.conf /opt/etc/ipkg.conf so that you config in /etc/ipkg.conf remains useable with /opt/bin/ipkg and /opt/bin/ipkg-opt Then type: /opt/bin/ipkg update to setup the list of available packages for /opt/bin/ipkg /opt/bin/ipkg-opt 4. Install utilities and optware-devel First install the utilities you miss to do some actual linux stuff: ipkg-opt install zip unzip bzip2 gzip If you want a full gcc toolchain to compile your own applications from source. Ipkg-opt install optware-devel The compilation can be slow but this allows you to natively compile on your NAS (I think it is simpler because there is no need to set up cross compiling on another box). Install armel/debian compiled software Unfortunately, you will soon discover that some of the packages you want are not available for ipkg. You can then either compile your own software (see next point) or get some ready-made debian archives. In this case, I suggest to use the following command (for example for libsigc-2.0-dev): cd /opt/tmp/ wget dpkg -instdir=/opt/ -admindir=/opt/dpkg/ -i libsigc-2.0-dev2.0.18-2armel.deb Note: do not use /tmp/ as the space available there is very small. Note2: be careful to choose packages compiled for your architecture (armel in my case)!
The above command will install your soft as if /opt/ was the root directory (you will end up with /opt/usr/lib directories and the like). As a result, you might need to add stuff in your PATH or edit /etc/ld.so.conf. Be careful not to make a mess of your system or you will soon end up with several times the same library (with different versions) at different locations. You will need to sort this manually(ln, rm.) 6.
Compile from source For example, a very classic install for libnfnetlink: cd /opt/tmp/ wget tar -xvf libnfnetlink-1.0.0.tar.bz2 cd libnfnetlink-1.0.0 PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin./configure -prefix=/opt/ make make install Note: to get bzip2 to work I had to do before the tar -xvf: ln -s /opt/bin/bzip2-bzip2 /opt/bin/bzip2 Another example using svn cd /opt/tmp/ PAH=/opt/bin:$PATH svn checkout xmlrpc-c cd xmlrpc-c/./configure -prefix=/opt make make install Don't forget the -prefix=/opt to specifiy you want to install your package. When compiling from source, you run into the usual complation problems you can get with linux (libraries/includes not found etc.). It gets even more annoying because default stuff does not work well anymore (package manager is not where expected etc), and sometimes you end up having to specify the complie flags yourself. For example, I recently had to edit the configure script of a source tarball to add: sigcLIBS='-L/opt/lib/ -lsigc-2.0 -L/lib/' sigcCFLAGS='-I/opt/usr/include/sigc-2.0/ -I/opt/usr/lib/sigc-2.0/include -I/opt/include/ncurses' libcurlLIBS='-L/opt/lib/ -lcurl' libcurlCFLAGS='-I/opt/include/' libtorrentLIBS='-L/opt/lib/ -ltorrent' libtorrentCFLAGS='-I/opt/include/' -dev packages can be difficult to find with ipkg, this is where you often need to get a.deb package or compile the library from source just to get the header files right. Conclusion As you noticed, it is just a matter of using the tools (and using them right).
It just gets a little bit more complicated because the usual package manager does not work out of the box, the procedure is unsupported by the hardware vendor and precompiled packages can be difficult to find for armel. Actually, I may have an interest in the package so I looked into it a bit. In this case, you can run: /opt/bin/ipkg-opt files sabnzbdplus after installing. You'll see that the soft is in: /opt/share/SABnzbd# do cd /opt/share/SABnzbd./SABnzbd.py -s 0.0.0.0:8080 to start you need to put 0.0.0.0 so that the web service can be accessed from other computers (it is just accessible locally otherwise). Then, point your browser to or even you might want to look at: for the startup scripts and Sickbeard/Couchpotato install.

I suppose you have an IOMEGA storcenter. Did you look at my tutorial:? You need to add your command to /opt/init-opt.sh to have it start automatically at boot.
Rc2.d is not run at boot in an IOMEGA storcenter. All the config files have to be in /opt: most of the file system is cleaned/refreshed on reboot. Where were the files that are gone? Are you saying that /opt/bin/unzip is gone? If you are just typing unzip at the invite, make sure /opt/bin is in the PATH (to do that, PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin). I don't have unrar on my system, but I guess the problem is the same.
Anonymous Thanks, another problem occured after the tut. From 1) after editing the sohoprocs the ix4 wont but up anymore and hangs on 75%.
I can restore from usb stick and it wil work again. Tried it several times now als i with other firmware but stil crashes at 75%. 3) where exactly do i put the path command? If i do this in cosole and i close the console, the patch is gone after reboot. 2)if the path is set, the programs wil work.

But settings still wont be saved. The files are in /opt/. I'am just looking into linux the past 2 days, its al new to me. Finally i decided what i want to do with my ix2, but i am somehow stuck.
I am trying to set up a mysql server. So far i have been able to install it and i copied the startup-script to /etc/init.d/mysql.server update-rc.d mysql.server defaults created the correct symlinks, calling the script manually /etc/init.d/mysql.server start starts the server just fine, but booting won't. /opt/bin is not added to PATH either, but the script should do it by PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:$PATH Any ideas what causes this? Starting the Server manually works, but doing so manually everyday (tiny appartement, NAS is shut down over night) can't be the only solution. Anonymous Hi Vince, Please can you help me?

Have a nice day.
Good day Experts I purchased myself an Iomega Media Network Hard drive a while ago. As Murphy's Law goes the hard drive has subsequently failed on me and it is out of its warranty. I have gone out and purchased a new drive to replace the faulty one. After doing so and connection drive NAS drive up to the network, it doesn’t seem to find anything. I went and a bit of research and due to the fact that the new drive doesn’t have an “OS “ / firmware installed on, it doesn’t pick it up. I would have thought that the “OS” / firmware would be installed on a chip on the chassis somewhere instead of it being on the hard drive itself. Anyway, this brings me to my question.
Emc Iomega Storcenter Ix2 Software
I would like to be able to “revive” my Iomega Media Network Hard Drive. What will I require to do so? Please see below link for reference to my drive. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the same “OS” / firmware as before, anything will do. I would like to just get the chassis working again on my LAN. Thank you in advance for any assistance in this matter.
Kind regards, Arno. Hi SysExpert Thank you for your post. I managed to get as far as what you did with Iomega themselves.
I even got the GPL Open Source Code (below link). However, after downloading it, I have no idea of getting it onto the drive and to make it work.
With regards to getting a duplicate drive to make an image; I borrowed my friends drive, which is the same as mine and was kind enough to let me open up his chassis and connect it to my PC. However upon doing this, Windows could not pick the drive up. It seems to be formatted differently.
So I got to another dead-end. Any further suggestions from anyone else please? Ciao mustekkzn. If you want to image the entire physical disk drive, then this an be done with any software package capable of performing a bit-level copy of the entire disk drive.
The software doesn't care what is on the disk, all it sees are 1s and 0s. However, the problem is more complicated, so you need to specifically tell us what you desire. If you clone a disk, do you want to put the clone in the appliance and expect it to work? At very least the serial number won't match, so the firmware in the system will have to deal with a foreign disk which may or may not work in the first place. HI dlethe I see what you mean; in my personal opinion I dont think I wil be able to clone/image these drives.
As I mentioned before I connected my friends drive up and Windows could not detect his drive. I think its due to the fact it is running Linux. As per your previous post. I have to be honest, I didnt try and play any further with the drive, a specially after seeing that Windows did not pick it up. Do you think I would be able to clone these drives using Acronis in Windows? With regards to my last post, do you think I could use something like FreeNas or anytihng simular.
My goal is to 'recycle' my Iomega chassis with new internal hard drive and to be able to use it as n NAS device again. Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter. Kind regards, mustekkzn. You can clone the disks with any software package that does a bit-level copy.
There is no magic at all. This is no different then cloning a disk drive that has windows and another non-windows partition You are free to stick this disk drive in any computer running linux, windows, Mac OS, FreeNas, whatever. It is formatted to standard 512-bytes/sector. I do not use acronis, but if it has a bit-level copy for entire disk, then it will clone the drive. Otherwise some freebies like clonezilla or the runtime product that another expert suggested will work.
Just thought to give you guys an update. I started off trying to use Ghost image the two drives, however, I straight away had a problem identifying which drive is which and I didn’t want to run the risk of overwriting my friends drive. With that said, I moved over to Acronis, which was easier to distinguish which drive is which. However, it took forever to do. Upon completing the drive still didn’t work, it has to be something to do with serial numbers or something as per previous post. I will have to admit defeat on this as I can’t be spending any more time on this. I will just have to use this drive as a standard hard drive then.
Before I end off, I would like to just confirm if anyone else has used FreeNas and if they would know if it will work in my scenario. Kind regards, mustekkzn.
