    Thanks @Mijzelf for your efforts. By any chance you also have Laicie files? Looking to recover my D2Net2 after disk failure.

    @maratc https://www.mediafire.com/folder/me9cyqnlp00cm/Lacie. BTW, you might also be interested in https://plugout.net/

    @Mijzelf thanks a ton!!! (Readme.txt probably might use an update 😁)

    Wrt plugout.net, I've looked at that, but never having used even 50% of stock functionality, the stuff they add is frankly an overkill for me. All I need is a moderate-sized file storage that can be seen by several computers at home. (And I think anyway I need my device running on stock to even install that?)

    The main 'feature' of plugout is that it's up-to-date. Or at least more up-to-date as stock firmware. I suppose it supports smb2, which means you don't have to jump to hoops to use smb1 (Which is deprecated by Microsoft). (On the other hand, I think smb2 is a bit slower than smb1). Further the webinterface is more modern, which means that there is less chance that your browser will refuse to show a correct interface. Can't remember the details of Lacie, but there are boxes outside which don't work at all, because they relied on flash.

    (And I think anyway I need my device running on stock to even install that?)

    When plugout started they used some u-boot console function to inject an own installer (Linux kernel + initramfs) directly in the bootloader over ethernet. I think it's still the main installation method. Which means the current OS isn't used at all.

    I understand, thanks for the explanation. I don't remember ever using SMB (AFP was the thing I've used the most) but since the appliance has been offline for … "quite some time" (ahem), maybe modern MacOS versions will have issues talking to it.

     to inject an own installer (Linux kernel + initramfs) directly in the bootloader over ethernet.

    As of now, the appliance has no IP address, since the system resided on disk partition which does not exist. Maybe plugout guys have figured out some clever way to talk using Layer 2 only (I know Mikrotik guys have), but I'd rather start from scratch and see how to progress from there.

    Thanks again for your time and effort, it's greatly appreciated! Would you consider adding the Lacie files (and potentially others, too) to wherever your ddnss.eu resolves?
