Synology Compatibility Hack

It's a hack to disable the compatibilty check of some synology devices

It's tested with Version DSM 7.0.1-42218 on a RS2821rp+ NAS.

HowTo

In my Example i'm using windows with putty and scp. Change YOURSYNOLOGYIP to the ip of your Synology Device like 192.168.123.123.

1. Enable SSH on your Synology Device
2. Login via SSh in your Synology Device
3. cd /var/lib/disk-compatibility
4. make a copy of the directory on your local hard drive for backup purposes
   example: scp admin@YOURSYNOLOGYIP:/var/lib/disk-compatibility/*.* c:\temp
5. change the filename of my rs2821rp+_host_v7.db to your device model
6. Inside the file change "MZ7LH1T9HMLT-00005" to your Harddrives model and change "HXT7904Q" to your Harddrives firmware. Save afterwards
7. copy the file via scp to /tmp on your Synology Device
   example: scp c:\temp\rs2821rp+_host_v7.db admin@YOURSYNOLOGYIP:/tmp/rs2821rp+_host_v7.db
8. overwrite the existing file via sudo cp
   example: sudo cp /tmp/rs2821rp+_host_v7.db /var/lib/disk-compatibility/rs2821rp+_host_v7.db
9. reboot your Synology Device
10. Check your Harddisk Status

If it won't work

11. copy the files eunit_rule.db and host_rule.db over the existing files on your Synology Device.
12. Reboot your Synology Device
13. Check your Harddisk Status
