Hi, I tried to install Syncrify Server on DS209+ but get the following Error: [.] Installing Syncrify. [.] Please specify, installation directory or leave blank for default Please enter (e.g. /opt/): /opt/ [.] Installation directory = /opt/ [.] Unzipping Syncrify.tar.gz file... gzip: invalid option -- 9 BusyBox v1.16.1 (2011-02-25 19:06:21 CST) multi-call binary. Usage: gzip [OPTIONS] [FILE]... Compress FILEs (or stdin) Options: -c Write to stdout -d Decompress -f Force [FAILED] Please can anybody help? Martin

The error is caused by the following unfortunate line in Install.sh: gzip -df9 $SM_TAR_NAME Get rid of the "9" which is inappropriate for decompressing (which is what this line does. That is, use the line gzip -df $SM_TAR_NAME and the install will appear not to fail. In my experience, it still will not work on a Synology DSanything, so if it does, please let us know!!!

I contacted tech support about this issue on a DS211J. Here is the information that I received after I provided them access to my NAS device. As you can see it is not a complete step-by-step but it does point us in the right direction. I will try to work on this in the next week or so and post any info I have. Ron ************ Response from Synametrics tech support I see two problems: 1. The Synology device contains an ARM cpu, which is not compatible with Intel's x86 architecture. The version of Java shipped with Syncrify is for the Intel CPU. You will have to download and install the appropriate JVM from here. 2. Second problem has to do with how Syncrify starts up at boot time. The "wrapper" program that comes with Syncrify is also for Intel architecture. This is not that big of a problem because you can always write a script to load it up at boot time. First install Java on your Synology. You might have to contact Synology support to find out which download is application for the CPU version you are using. The CPUINFO on your box show Feroceon 88FR131 rev 1 (v5l) , which I think is ARMV5 but cannot say that with certainty. Once Java is installed, you will have to modify /opt/Syncrify/run.sh file and change the path from jre/bin/java to whatever the new path is and execute run.sh to start Syncrify. Finally, write a script that will call run.sh at boot time. >The error is caused by the following unfortunate line in Install.sh: > >gzip -df9 $SM_TAR_NAME > >Get rid of the "9" which is inappropriate for decompressing (which is what this line >does.

Looks like the installation instructions for the Synology are more like "Other OS" than Linux. Noticed that the link to the Java download did not get copied with the message. Download from here according to tech support. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/embedded-jsp-135769.html Ron
