volumes

A friend proposes to use a DS exclusively for archives and backups - including offsite backup. The DS has one RAID5 storage pool (4-bays, 4-drives). No packages or other applications - no SSD cache - very basic configuration - nothing but a handful of SMB shares - and, of course DSM. My...

Hi, I'm planing to buy 12 bay NAS this year but since models i look are all limited to 108TB of Volume size and i don't need Xeon version (xs series which allow 200TB but not having SHR) i wonder how should it behave in my usage if i have 2 Volumes. I'd go with 8*16TB (6+2 in SHR-2) for Volume...

I recently tried to add a logical volume to a live iSCSI session. Through the San Manager in DSM, I provisioned the volume and mapped it to an existing iSCSI target. I then requested the iSCSI initiatiator (Open-iSCSI on Linux, managed through iscsiadm), rescan the target for new devices. This...

Hi there, I am currently running 1 volume (SHR2, ext4) on my 5-bay DS. Now I want to run Virtual Machine Manager, which needs a brtfs volume. Is it possible to do it this way? a) make a full backup of volume1 (incl. all apps and settings) to an external disk and again on another external...
