disk

Hello. My DS218j just hardware failed (all green case and power brick LEDs flash with the drives out). It's a little over three years old. Since I have no way to pull the data off of the disks, I thought that purchasing a DS220j and using the 218j's drives as is in the 220j would be a quick and...

Hello dear forum members, after a long search in the net, I have unfortunately not found a solution to my problem. I very much hope that someone can give me a helping hand or suggest a solution. I am using a DS920 + with version DSM 6.2_below I bought new 4x 4 TB disks. First, I backed up...

I've read multiple threads and guides on the topic - still creating a post to make sure I got the procedure right, especially as there are multiple steps on volume setup and adjustment! :) Scenario: - upgrading from a super-old DS214Play to a new DS920+. The old NAS will be shut down at the end...

Hello I am using Synology RS2414 +. WD Red WD60EFRX-68MYMN1 6TB 5400 RPM 12 disks mounted on it and I am using raid 10 build. I want to buy disk as a backup for failure. My question: If I install a disk with features such as 8TB 7200 RPM or 6TB 7200 RPM or 8TB 5400 RPM in the disk structure...

Hi everyone. Newbie here and I have a question just not sure where to post this. I just bought DS412+ second hand and it is missing the installation disk. Is there anywhere I can find this information online so I can DL onto a thumb drive. Or do I have to have the original disk. Thanks for...

I have a DS-718+ with one 4 TB hard drive. I've purchased a second 4 TB hard drive to add to it. I also have my ancient Zyxel NSA-320 with a 2 TB drive in that I plan to eventually use to backup key documents off the DS-718+. (I recognize that its not ideal for a full backup for a variety of...

I am experiencing constant disk access and am not sure how to figure out what process is causing this. The process that seems to be taking the most CPU is called Barnyard2. I can't seem to find out what this does. Any insights would be much appreciated.

I’ve set up my 920+ as follows: 3 no. 4T disks in SHR (vol 1) for important data + 1 no. single disk (vol 2) for downloaded movies. My logic is that I’m not too bother about losing the downloaded movies in the event this single harddisk fails. I will not need to restore the movie files in vol 2...

Looking to redo my backup NAS as I'm running out of capacity. I have 10TB and 6TB disks which I was going to join in a simple JBOD. Using the Synology RAID Calculator I noticed that in a RAID0 configuration, Capacity = 10TB + 6TB = 16TB I always understood that RAID0 mixed disks yielded ...

Hi, I'm currently running DSM 6.2-23739 (Xpenology on Gen8 Microserver) and when I try and install a package via Packer Center I get the following error "The available disk space of this system is insufficient". As you can see from my screen shot their is 2.71TB of disc space remaining...

Since one of NAS hard disk defected, I removed the hard disk in DSM and can't read the file again. How can i read and backup my data to my PC? I used VMware and installed Ubuntus already but still can't work, does anyone can provide tutorial how to solve my problem? Many thanks,

Setting up my DS720+ for the first time and noticed that one of my hard drives is not Initialized and I can't create Storage Pools or Volumes. the action keeps failing. Drive shows thats its healthy but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the drive to initialize? AG Edit: think I...

Okay I think everyone knows I'm a newbie to the world of NAS....... and I've a horrible feeling I'm either missing something or have been doing something wrong..... I've been creating shared drives (as and when needed) and deleting them as I've been going along my learning curve. The error I...

I want to add an external hard drive to my NAS for use for Hyper Backup. I have a total of 12Tb of data on my disks. If I wish to hyper backup all the data do I need at least a 12tb hard drive?

My DS918+ has started to do some disk access that drives me crazy.. It's silent for a few seconds, then starts to read/write/whatever alot for a second or two and the goes back to silence again. It's a pattern here.. <silence> <silence> <silence> <NOISE> <NOISE> <repeat> .. Perhaps 5 seconds of...

As some of you know I like it Synology Active Backup for Business package (ABB). I have 3 sites, with 20+ WIN10 based computers in total (also Linux, but this not the case). ABB is in everyday operation, tested Restore scenarios. Great tool. What I found yesterday: In my 3rd (remote) site, what...

One of my concern was about - What would happen when my RAID contains BTRFS will degrade? Analyze I found in official BTRFS Wiki these recommendations: RAID1 volumes - if they become degraded may only be mounted read-write once with the options -o degraded,rw. Notes: This does not happen...
