volume

I received a message saying that my volume 2 is fragmented and that I need to expand storage capacity. Storage manager says all my volumes are healthy, and volume 2 is only 55% full. What does this warning mean and what is the best practice to fix it? I am using snapshot/replicate with this...

On my 920+ I had been running three, 3 TB Drives in SHR Mode..... I now added two 4 TB Drives as one of the 3 TB's may have been on its last legs. I deactivated that third suspect drive, Installed the new 4 TB in its place and allowed it to REPAIR and DATA Scrub. I then added the 4th 4 TB and...

Hello :) I have a strange thing going on with my DS920+ and new DSM 7.0 and its SSD caching. Im using 2x 500 GB Samsung 970 EVO which are on compatibility list for DS920+. I ve done an upgrade from DSM 6 to DSM 7 months ago but few days ago I noticed that my SSD Cache is telling me that its...

Hi, I'm using a DS213J with latest DSM and shared USB drives. Today during use, one of the external USB SSD drives has entered a read only mode. I now can't update any files or add any files. Please advise how do I restore permissions on the read only USB SSD drive? Please also any suggestion...

Hi, I wonder how is volume size limit calculated in DS series. I have DS 1817+ but it's same for 2021 models from what i can see volume size limit is 108TB. I'm using SHR-2 so i wonder is Volume size calculated as all 8 drives or just 6 drives (since 2 drives are used for parity in SHR-2) ...

Hello, I want to run BTRFS restore but I need to unmount a Volume on the Synology NAS. How is it done?

Hi Forum, Apologies if this has been covered before and my searching abilities suck. I have a single Disk containing "Volume 2" as a destination for Shared Folder SnapShot Replication from (RAIDed) "Volume 1" with a bunch of history on it which I now want to migrate to a new and larger...

Hi, I have DS 1817+ and last year I've setup Active backup for my 3 PCs and all is running fine and automated (no problems there). Think i want to know is how i can adjust how much HDD space on my volume is Active backup is gonna to use? It seems it reserved itself some hefty sum (over 10TB)...

I would suggest anyone contemplating setting up a NAS for the fist time to think ahead. I would suggest getting double the hard drive space that you think you'd ever need. Am currently waiting on my NAS after swapping a 4tb for a 16tb drive. On day 2 of rebuilding volume and it's at 40%. I...

On my DS2411+ I had 2TB drives in use and started seeing more and more failures, more often from newer drives than the old ones. So I bought myself some 4TB Red Plus drives to replace them. I went from 10x2TB to 3x4TB given most of my data is on my other NAS now. I had migrated (or at least...

I have 4 8tb drives in my DS918+ but am only using 6tb of storage. Can I remove one of the drives or convert it to a hot spare? Thanks

I have a DS920+. Installed 2 x 12TB wd’s. Then I decided to add another. All accounted for after 3 days of whatever the system was doing. The Storage Pool shows 21.8 TB, but Volume 1 (the only volume ) still shows 10.5GB. So now I have 3 bays filled, but still only 10.5GB is showing in the pool...

I've setup MailCow on my DS718+ by running it in a seperate Ubuntu VM. MailCow stores all its data, like emails and databases in Docker volumes. So this is apparently saved in /var/lib/docker/volumes . These Docker volumes look like simple folders to me.. For backup purposes I wonder if it...
