disk

Hello all, I have a DS220j with a 3TB SATA drive (no RAID), currently running DSM7.0. Recently the system reported errors on the disk (bad sectors) and has flagged the disk as read-only. I purchased an 8TB disk and inserted it in the second slot, and created a new storage pool and volume on the...

I have a Synology DS1819+ setup for several use cases. It is currently configured in RAID 6 with two partitions. Partition 1 is mainly media backups (videos from events, large file sizes) -Also used for cloud service backups(365 w/ Active Backup through Synology) Partition 2 is time machine...

I have just installed a pair of 2TB disks in a DS223J and I stupidly agreed that DSM could check them after the volume was created. Now DSM is telling me that the disk check will take nearly two days! Is there any way of cancelling it? There is no apparent way I have been able to find through...

Hello, Been getting disk full warnings on my DS215j. We've deleted a load of big stuff like videos & big tiffs - enough to make a noticeable difference on a 1tb drive. However, it's still reporting being full. I've looked at a few things from online, but not found anything that works. The...

Hello, I'm not that well up on mass storage. I have a DS215j with a 1tb disk in, which is now full. I also have, previously used briefly in a different a NAS, a 2tb drive. I'd like to add this drive to the DS & copy the data from the original 1tb drive, then remove that. AIUI, adding the new...

Hi there I would like to format my 1TB WD BTRFS disks to NTFS and would like to know how do I do it and also I am having difficulty reading my external HDD through Synology DS218. Any suggestions please Thanks

I am missing a few disk tray for my RS2414. Where is a good place to get some replacements? Are there generic one's that will fit? Thanks again for any advise.

I'm running a DS923+ (replacing a DS918+ which gives me these same problem) running the most up to date firmware available. I am using BTRFS with 3 drives as RAID, with 1 hot standby available. Using drives 0-2 (left most) bays currently running. The NAS was just restored from backup after...

Experimenting with ftp on camera and the folder I want as target is: cameras/CT-CAM-16MM I know I need to specify volume 1 within the ftp settings, but haven't got the correct info specified yet.... Is it: volume1/cameras/CT-CAM-16MM or, volume_1\cameras\CT-CAM-16MM or something else...

I am attempting to do a test restore for a new setup but when I go to the 'Active Backup For Business Portal' to do the restore there is a disk missing. The backups are 'successful' including the volume that doesn't show up. Two other disks do show and I can restore from them without any...

Hi Ther, I'm using DS220+ with DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 5. Shows a disk space warning. I house keep and deleted many files but the space still remains same. I stop snapshot, disable the recycle option for all. follow the instruction to clear the recycle but still not able to gain anu extra disk...

Hey there, just set up a new DS720+ and chose MailPlus/MailPlusServer instead of MailStation that I used with my previous diskstation (for better webmail amongst other reasons). This works all fine so far, but, as long as I have MailPlus running, both disks (some WD red I took over from the...

Hi - new DS NAS owner here. I set up my new DS920+ to RAID 5 using 2x 10TB and 2x 8TB disks (since my drive supplier only had those in stock at the time). This config effectively sees 4x 8 TB drives, losing 2 TB from each of the 10 TB drives. I have since purchased two more 8 TB drives. (I...

I have set up a HyperBackup task and try to run it when I connect/attach the external disk the task backs up to. Is this possible?

Hi, I have an external usb disk formatted in ext4 which I use for my weekly backups with hyperbackup. When I check the files in disk that I'm backing up, I find a folder called usbshare1 which contains a file called DS220plus.hbk. My questions are: is this folder contained in the main disk? I...

EDITED : I am a home user (so my knowledge of synology system is shallow) but I am puzzled because the total size of files reported by storage analyzer is 3Tbytes, althoug if I add the size of shared folders in daily reports I get 1.7 Tbytes. I understand that the operating system, the apps...

I have an external USB drive with two disks. Together they are the size of the data on my NAS, so I could just backup via USB copy if the two disk formed one RAID0 volume. However I do not want a RAID0 arragemnet, because in case of failure of one drive, I loose everything on both drives...

Greetings! I am contemplating replacing the 4 8TB disks in my DS916+ (my DX513 expansion has 5 10TB disks) to increase capacity. No discs have any problems, Storage Manager shows all disks as "Healthy". The time involved in using the typical method in the Synology unit is what is giving me...

Ok, so I made a mistake, and learned by reading about it here: https://www.synoforum.com/threads/replacing-4tb-with-14tb-drives-expanding-shr1.8635/ Background, had a disk setup like this: bay1: 20tb bay2: 20tb bay3: 2tb sum 22tb Replace the 2tb with 6 tb bay1: 20tb bay2: 20tb bay3: 6tb sum...

Hi, I did some reprovisioning of my DS1618+. It used to have two HDDs in one Raid volume (for storing files), and one SSD as a single drive (for running VMs). I then removed all drives and started fresh with 4 SSDs in Raid (for fast storage). My intention was then to plug in the SSD drive (as...
