The update took a fair few minutes, so let it sit for a while when you update it. Installing SnakeOS was a simple matter of downloading the “from-original” firmware file from the project page, and installing it using the built in Firmware Updater on the NAS. I decided to go with the SnakeOS option, as it was the more time efficient option. Press 'Upload'-'OK' 6.Press 'OK' 7.Please turn off and turn on your LANDISK power. Instead, I looked into installing Debian onto the NAS, but according to the documentation Debian ARMEL needs an ARMv4t processor, and the NAS only has an ARMv4 processor, so it looks like I’m out of luck there.Īfter Debian, it looked like my options were either SnakeOS, or custom build a Linux distro to put onto the NAS. However, it hadn’t been maintained in quite a few years so I was initially a bit hesitant. All the Googling did point me in the direction of SnakeOS however, which is replacement firmware for some NASes. I tried to discover if I could download the firmware from the NAS, but that didn’t get me anywhere either. The LANDisk project consists of two components: The backing device which is a LAN Block Device, and a special filesystem, the LAN File System, on top of it to support multiple writers safely. So after poking around with the bootloader, I decided to go look for the stock firmware to see if I could upload that with some modifications so I could play around with the stock system.Īfter a night of Googling, I couldn’t find any links to the original firmware. LANDisk is a serverless network filesystem with a twist - it can aggregate the disparate space on a network into one (or many) logical block devices.
