Firstly, you'll want to take your Buffalo NAS drive and plug in the power cord. The plug will go into the wall and the other end will need to go into the bottom socket. Next, take the supplied ethernet cable and plug one end into one of your router's LAN ports, and the other end into the ethernet socket of the NAS drive The socket above the power point.
To get your account created, the first thing you need to do is download the latest version of NAS Navigator. Accept any terms and conditions and ensure you select your model number LSD when prompted. When the application is ready to run, open up the Navigator, you should see your device visible as LSD. Right-click on this device icon, then select settings. This will take you to the Buffalo settings page in your default web browser e.
Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer. You'll need to enter a password for your account, the username is set to admin and cannot be changed Please note you cannot use the word password as your admin password. Click next. In the event of a drive failure you'll always have a backup drive available to recover your data. Lastly for the basic setup process, you need to submit your time zone , this will only apply to the admin user, so any remote users who login to the web access will still see their own time zone e.
Now that your Buffalo LSD has an admin account attached to it, our next step is to add more users. To get to the user settings, open up the NAS Navigator application then click settings , this will take you to the web access in your browser. Click on advanced settings, and when prompted, login to the tile using your admin username and password Remember, the username is simply "admin".
Next, click on file sharing , then select the users icon. You will see that there is always two users displayed when you first setup your account, the admin , and the guest access.
To create a new user, click on the create user icon. Next, fill out the new user details, you'll need the following:.
The optional settings include a description or an email address For notification purposes for the new user, as well as the choice of setting a quota for the user. A quota simply limits the amount of storage space available to the user i. Once you are happy, click on OK to finish. In your Buffalo NAS drive, shared folders allow certain users to access data and files in specific places.
You can control the access level for different users, depending on what you want them to see and manage. Shared folders can be made for purposes like family, work and certain friends etc.
To create a shared folder, once again head to the web access portal and select advanced settings You'll be required to login first with your admin username and password. On the next page, click on the create folder icon, to begin customizing your new shared folder.
Run the open-ls-rootfs. This will automatically install the key and grant you root access to the NAS. Copy this new hddrootfs.
Back in Windows sorry , open up the firmware directory and open up the configuration file LSUpdater. It should find your NAS. Click the window decoration in the top-left corner and click Debug D … Tick and untick the appropriate options until your configuration looks as below: Click OK , then Update. Your LinkStation LSseries is now fully recovered and is now running an open firmware.
Do you know if this boot image can also be used for the LS? I cannot find that boot image anywhere. Hi John. I had bad luck trying to boot other images. If you contact Buffalo support, they should provide you a download link and the rest of these instructions should apply. Hope this helps. Unfortunately, I have contacted them and they were not helpful in the least.
As you did, I wiped the drives in an attempt to make repairs and apparently cleaned the images off. Did you explicitly ask for them? I assume I should still be directly connected to the device with the Ethernet cable when attempting this part. Did you change your IP address to something in the I usually just go with Also make sure your subnet mask is Make sure you persist with this, because they should definitely be able to provide you with the right images.
Woops, apologies, I responded to this originally thinking you said LS A good NAS -server should just work, at least 2 years, as long guaranty is valid. I need this because I am trying to install utelnetd by copying it to shared directory. I meshed up the ssh it doesnot run for some reason , so I need telnet access.
You can verify this by running the lsblk command. Thanks for your time….. Unfortunately, we do not support TFTP imaging. You may find suggestions from user contributions in the forum. Buffalo Support Email is intended for non-critical support for customers in the United States and Canada. Any replies to this response will be handled in the order it was received. Urk… seems like one of those situations where it depends on who you talk to. In my case I contacted their European UK? Were you able to get your LinkStation to work again?
I own a LSD. Upgraded both hard drives and formatted the old ones. Daniel, have you attempted contacting Buffalo support as I did for my issue? Hey Chris. This is what I was using. Hi, Very interesting read.
If I followed the above from step 3 could I expect the same end result??? Hi Rick — thanks for the comment — glad you found it interesting. In the article you stated that yours was bricked. I was just curious if this had to be done from EM mode.
Other wise I am very confused, as I thought that is what this article in part was about,unless I have read it wrong. Thanks for your time!! Sorry, I think I misunderstood you twice! I think you meant SSH with Root access??
I could fix it in two seconds if I had root access. I am currently going through the painful process of re-adding the torrent files so i can delete via the Transmission interface! Never had this issue with my woefully underpowered NAS-berry Pi setup!! Thanks again! Hi Rick.
Apologies for the misunderstanding. Yes, SSH with root access is what this guide enables you to do. From what I understand, enabling SSH with root is only possible with flashing a slightly customised firmware with this enabled. This is what I do in this guide. I have Buffalo LS-V3. And thank you for the comment, Nino! To answer your question, I did indeed. Still, it was nice to be able to install the GNU Coreutils! Ah yes, another issue.
I tried to install something from source once and ran into a big mess of dependency chains. Tried parts of this at home this weekend. My goal is to enable rsync so that I can backup my other NAS to this one. After updating the firmware on my LS it boots into EM mode. Are there limitations to what versions of the firmware the linkstation-mod scripts will work with?
Hi Christian. I just gave up on trying to hack the LS into working how I needed. I actually solved it. It actually had to do with which checkboxes you checked in the debug window in LSUpdater.
Excellent, thanks for the update, Christian! Hi Aaron Appreciate that its some time that you looked at this, but I am after some advice here. Purchased a 2x4TB version of this unit the other day from Amazon for a cracking price. Currently waiting for it to arrive. I already have a Zyxel NAS better — quicker 1. I wanted to swap out the two 4TB drives we get with the Buffalo and use these in my Zyxel. I also wanted to look at rooting and setting up ssh on the Buffalo, so obviously your guide above is interesting to me.
I note that you say that the recovery code in on one partition of one of the disks. So I assume if I was to do this I would have to replicate the partition tables on my orig 2TB drives if possible and sync the code across?
Is the OS also on the drives, or in flash? Do you think this is possible, and are there any other things I need to consider? Have to say I was a tad surprise that there was little additional support for these units when you need to look at outside the box stuff like this. Odd, since they are not exactly new units. Appreciate any help here mate. Aaron, I am new to this and trying to figure out how to do Part 3 step 7. I am not sure what all I am supposed to type in the terminal window.
I am not running Linux, I just have windows. Feel free to email me with any questions.
