How can I reinstall Debian after resize?
Hi first. I messed up... I managed to completely delete my /usr/ folder. How do I reinstall Debian now? I don't mean recover, I mean completely reinstall.
Hi. Do you have serial console access? If so, see issue #44. You'll need to reinstall Debian 10, then upgrade to 11, then upgrade to 12. It'll take time but it's perfectly doable.
I don't think it's possible without serial console, after the partition resize.
It is, but you way just tweek the debian install script. It will be
Follow https://github.com/amouiche/qnap_mtd_resize_for_bullseye/blob/master/Recovery.md to re-intall the QNAP original firmware using the QNAP TFTP method
- re-install debian 10 as usual.
- you will not need to do the partitionning again, it will already be set.
Just tell me what you experience, and we will update the recorvery documentation along. Arnaud

ok i try it.
I'll edit the post to avoid spamming.
1.Recover via qnap live disk. Went without any problems [~] # cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00080000 00010000 "U-Boot" mtd1: 00200000 00010000 "Kernel" mtd2: 00900000 00010000 "RootFS1" mtd3: 00300000 00010000 "RootFS2" mtd4: 00040000 00010000 "U-Boot Config" mtd5: 00140000 00010000 "NAS Config" under qnap fw.
Edit 19:11: Debian 10 is anstalled and running. root@qnas:~# sudo ./qnap_mtd_resize.py --dry-run
[Check of the QNAP model and see if supported] kirkwood-qnap: machine: QNAP TS419 family DTB file: kirkwood-ts419-6282.dtb Kernel has already been resized. Can't process further safely.
So upgrade to bookworm is currently in progress.
It took me all afternoon, but I was able to reinstall Debian without accessing the serial console. @amouiche
edit: 23:38 Upgrade to bookworm is finished and Nas is purring like a kitten. So that this doesn't happen to me again, I selected when installing that /, /var/, /tmp/ and /home/ are on spare partitions and I can backup the pure /. df -h Dateisystem Größe Benutzt Verf.

@amouiche Thanks for your help, it worked perfectly. Luckily I have to say, the serial to USB adapter I bought from Amazon doesn't fit the pins on the board of my TS-421, the plugs are too big...
