Synology HDD db

Donate committers.top badge

Description

Add your SATA or SAS HDDs and SSDs plus SATA and NVMe M.2 drives to your Synology's compatible drive databases, including your Synology M.2 PCIe card and Expansion Unit databases.

The script works in DSM 7, including DSM 7.2, and DSM 6.

It also has a restore option to undo all the changes made by the script.

What the script does:

Download the script

  1. Download the latest version Source code (zip) from https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db/releases
  2. Save the download zip file to a folder on the Synology.
    • Do NOT save the script to a M.2 volume. After a DSM or Storage Manager update the M.2 volume won't be available until after the script has run.
  3. Unzip the zip file.

Required files

The following files from the downloaded zip file must be in the same folder:

  1. syno_hdd_db.sh
  2. syno_hdd_vendor_ids.txt
  3. dtc or the bin folder containing dtc (only required if you have a E10M20-T1, M2D20 or M2D18 in a NAS that does not support them).

When to run the script

You would need to re-run the script after a DSM update. If you have DSM set to auto update the best option is to run the script every time the Synology boots, and the best way to do that is to setup a scheduled task to run the the script at boot-up.

Note: After you first run the script you may need to reboot the Synology to see the effect of the changes.

Options when running the script

There are optional flags you can use when running the script:

  -s, --showedits       Show edits made to <model>_host db and db.new file(s)
  -n, --noupdate        Prevent DSM updating the compatible drive databases
  -r, --ram             Disable memory compatibility checking (DSM 7.x only)
                        and sets max memory to the amount of installed memory
  -f, --force           Force DSM to not check drive compatibility
                        Do not use this option unless absolutely needed
  -i, --incompatible    Change incompatible drives to supported
                        Do not use this option unless absolutely needed
  -w, --wdda            Disable WD Device Analytics to prevent DSM showing
                        a false warning for WD drives that are 3 years old
                          DSM 7.2.1 already has WDDA disabled
  -p, --pcie            Enable creating volumes on M2 in unknown PCIe adaptor
  -e, --email           Disable colored text in output scheduler emails
  -S, --ssd=DRIVE       Enable write_mostly on slow internal drives so DSM 
                        runs from the fast internal drive(s).
                          -S automatically sets internal SSDs as DSM preferred
                          --ssd=DRIVE requires the fast drive(s) as argument,
                          or restore as the argument to reset drives to default
                          --ssd=sata1 or --ssd=sata1,sata2 or --ssd=sda etc
                          --ssd=restore
      --restore         Undo all changes made by the script (except -S --ssd)
      --autoupdate=AGE  Auto update script (useful when script is scheduled)
                          AGE is how many days old a release must be before
                          auto-updating. AGE must be a number: 0 or greater
  -h, --help            Show this help message
  -v, --version         Show the script version

Notes:

Scheduling the script in Synology's Task Scheduler

See How to schedule a script in Synology Task Scheduler

Running the script via SSH

How to enable SSH and login to DSM via SSH

You run the script in a shell with sudo -s or as root.

sudo -s /path-to-script/syno_hdd_db.sh -nr

Note: Replace /path-to-script/ with the actual path to the script on your Synology.

If you run the script with the --showedits flag it will show you the changes it made to the Synology's compatible-drive database. Obviously this is only useful if you run the script in a shell.

sudo -s /path-to-script/syno_hdd_db.sh -nr --showedits

Note: Replace /path-to-script/ with the actual path to the script on your Synology.

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
/usr/bin/env: ‘bash\r’: No such file or directory File has Mac line endings! Download latest zip file
Cursor sits there doing nothing File has Windows line endings! Download latest zip file
syntax error near unexpected token You downloaded the webpage! Download latest zip file

If you get a "No such file or directory" error check the following:

  1. Make sure you downloaded the zip or rar file to a folder on your Synology (not on your computer).
  2. Make sure you unpacked the zip or rar file that you downloaded and are trying to run the syno_hdd_db.sh file.
  3. If the path to the script contains any spaces you need to enclose the path/scriptname in double quotes:
    sudo -s "/volume1/my scripts/syno_hdd_db.sh -n"
  4. Set the script file as executable:
    sudo chmod +x "/volume1/scripts/syno_hdd_db.sh"

vendor_ids.txt

You only need to edit syno_hdd_vendor_ids.txt if the script warns you about a missing vendor id.

If DSM doesn't know the brand of your NVMe drives they will show up in Storage Manager as Unknown brand, and Unrecognised firmware version.

In this case the script will show you the vendor ID and advise you to add it to the syno_hdd_vendor_ids.txt file.
