The Synology needs to restart.
Type yes to reboot now.

After running syno_enable_m2_card.sh, E10M20-T1 with its storagepool came back online!

After the last DSM update I discovered you can set a "pre-task" to a triggered scheduled task. This will make sure that "syno_enable_m2_card.sh --model=E10M20-T1" runs before syno_hdd_db.sh

But I'd still need to reboot after a DSM update has finished and booted up.

Need to download dtc
Do you want to download dtc? [y/n]

This is strange. Syno_hdd_db should have installed dtc, and when syno_enable_m2_card updated it should have included /bin/dtc

[RozzNL]

Changed the taskscheduler to include the pre-task, thanks.
Is there any way i can help you further to prevent this happening again or to others?

What is dtc? saw in your github comment this was applicable so said YES to install.

[007revad]

dtc (device tree compiler) is a tiny linux cli program used to decompile and compile device tree blobs, which allows adding device information without compiling a new kernel. Synology models from 2020 onwards that use a CPU that Synology hadn't used before all use a device tree blob named model.dtb. To enable E10M20-T1, M2D20, M2D18 or M2D17 on NAS models that don't already support them the script needs dtc, which is not included in DSM.

I'm trying to think how to prevent the same thing happening to other people.

Before this 7.2.2 update all was well, i did however use the hdd_db at shutdown instead of at bootup, but it should not matter i think?

[barthuijgen]

My M2 storage pool also broke after 7.2.2 update. But I can't find this syno_enable_m2_card.sh script you are referring to, its not in this repository, where can I find it?

You just saved my day!
I recently updated to 7.2.2 and faced the same issue; I created a new task that runs the syno_enable_m2_card.sh script and updated the syno_hdd_db.sh to run that previous task before. Did a reboot and my storage pool is back!

In my specific case it is the E10M20-T1 in a RS822+

[Samt563]

Hello and thanks for the script its been awesome so far, unfortunately the update to 7.2.2 broke my m.2 storage pool too, after a manual task scheduler run (with the latest Script release [v3.5.104]) and the corresponding restart it came back online and everything seems normal.

BUT Synology drive lost its settings, does anybody have some hints/advice on how to proceed? a have a Backup from 28.11.24 04:28 but with the old Synology Drive Server App (3.5.0-26085).

In my specific case it is the DS 920+ 4x HDDs and 2x M.2 SSDs

[007revad]

After DSM update the M.2 storage pool won't be available until after:

1. The script has been run (scheduled to run at boot is best).
2. The NAS has been rebooted.

For the Synology apps that use DSM's pgsql database this can be a problem because DSM will create a new pgsql database on volume1.

Did you previously move @database to the volume2?

Which volume does the following command return:

readlink /var/services/pgsql

You could try restoring Synology Drive from your backup.

If that doesn't work we can:

1. Uninstall Synology Drive.
2. Edit 2 files to let you manually install Synology Drive 3.5.0-26085 (I'd need to explain how).
3. Restore Synology Drive from your backup.
4. Check it's working.
5. Then update to the latest Synology Drive.

Hello, first of all thank you very much for your help.

That's what i did:

1. It is and was set to run at boot and it ran according to the logs
2. After the update to DSM 7.2.2 and after a manual run and reboot the volume came back online
3. I opened the synology admin console and every setting was gone (Database on Volume 1 was in use)
4. After a restore from Backup everything was working

I did move the Database a long time ago

the command returns:
/volume1/@database/pgsql

Thanks again for your work and have a nice day! I hope this helps someone else too.
