Hi there,
I just installed 4GB ram into my DS218+ and I can see my total RAM has now gone up from 2GB to 6GB.
I wanted to carry out a memory test as advised to do after installing new RAM.
I followed the instructions here: Tutorial - Performing the Synology Memory Test and Extracting the "HIDDEN" Memtest Results via a New Method
I've conducted the memory test ok, seemingly, and i've now downloaded the log file to my desktop, but at this point, trying to extract the memory test results according to the wavery at best instructions doesn't provide the fruit. What am I doing wrong?
I created a folder called "debug log" on my dektop, and within that folder, I created another folder called "debug". I placed the "debug.dat file" from the NAS box into that location. I used 7zip to "extract here". I navigated to inside the "dsm" folder and copied the "package_status.list" file back into the original "debug log" folder and then used notepad++ to edit it and search for "MEMTEST". This provided no results at all. In fact this "package_status.list" file is so small, that I can look through it by eye easily. No need to search anything. Still there is no "MEMTEST" anything in there. Who can advise me on how to see the memory test result please? (Ridiculous you have to jump through hoops to see the results of a test which itself was fairly pain free to set up in the first place! What are Synology thinking!)
