Failed: no information found with dmesg

[quenenni]

Hello,

After long time, I upgrade my Qnap TS219 from stretch to bucter and then to bullseye.

I discovered the problem with bullseye at the end of the upgrade process.

I followed the instruction for your script and got an error with the --dry-run prameter:

./qnap_mtd_resize.py --dry-run

[Check of the QNAP model and see if supported]
kirkwood-qnap: machine: QNAP TS219 family

Checking: flash_erase --version
Using 'libubootenv-tool' package

[find on which MTD device partitions are currently mounted]
Failed: no information found with dmesg

The only thing I can think of to not be able to find info in dmesg is because my Qnap is up for 1 year and the necessary lines in dmesg aren't there anymore.

Any ideas what can be done?

Thanks.

The first line from dmesg:

[1105593.601892] [<c0347a3c>] (ip_rcv) from [<c0309f24>] (__netif_receive_skb_core+0x580/0xa84)

So no lines from the boot anymore.

I had the same error, restart your NAS and then immediately do the dry run.

Thanks for your quick response.

Are you sure bout the reboot now?

This error I had when upgrading can't block the boot process (and thus put me in a more difficult situation)?

Everything seems to work normally since I finished my upgrade to bullseye (with the MTD error). The one thing I'm afraid is to not be able to reboot now. Usually, initramfs errors can cause problems during boot, no?

[Conan179]

Regarding the error message in post 1, I'm 100% sure that a restart will fix it, your Nas just ran for too long, which is why the bot was no longer in the dmesg. The other error is not caused by this and is something else.

Ah,.. so you tried to upgrade to bullseye before having resized your parititions. and the upgrade obiously stops for space reason.

Indeed, the last reboot is too long ago and the information we are looking into dmesg is not here any more. Well, in any case, you will have to reboot before continuing your debian upgrade since the effect of the partition resizing are only available on next reboot...

The good news, is that you "previous" kernel + initrd are still in flash and you will be able boot on them... which should work. The question is what's happenend once once the harddrive are mounted and the system switch from initrd (still buster) to the one juste upgraded on hard drive (mostly bulseye).

Anyway, you should have enough things working to run qnap_mtd_resize.py, then reboot again run with resized partitions, then finalize the bulseye upgrade.

Thanks to both of you for your advices.

Just to say I didn't forget but didn't have the time last week-end to try it. I'll come back here as soon as I have tried it.

[quenenni]

Sorry for the delay. I finally was able to do it and everything went smoothly.

Thanks a lot to both of you for your help.
