I wrote about running unbound and nsd on OpenBSD 5.6 here . The other day, the VM that runs those went to DDB. On reboot, I got the following error message : unbound: [16897:0] error: ldns error while converting string to RR at15: Syntax error, could not parse the RR's type: spamd: \\[priv\\] unbound: [16897:0] error: failed to load trust anchor from /db/root.key at line 1, skipping unbound: [16897:0] error: failed to read /db/root.key unbound: [16897:0] error: error reading auto-trust-anchor-file: /var/unbound/db/root.key This means “root.key” went broken.

So it seems DS409slim, faked as DS411j, is a bit too slim for DSM v5. So let’s rollback to the official (nearly) supported version. First thing to do is to decide which DSM v4 to go for.

Previous version is 4.2-3202 Log in the DS409slim using SSH. dharma> cp -p /etc.defaults/VERSION /etc.defaults/VERSION.orig dharma> cp -p /etc/VERSION /etc/VERSION.orig dharma> cat /etc.defaults/VERSION majorversion="4" minorversion="2" buildphase="0" buildnumber="3202" smallfixnumber="0" builddate="2013/03/04" dharma> cp -p /etc.defaults/VERSION /etc/VERSION Download 4.2-3211 firmware for DS411j.
