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,
Suddenly, after a reboot I did manually to my system (DS415+ and DX513), the 3 volumes of my DX513 gave volume error (see attached images). Luckily the data is fully readable so I extracted 90% of the data to an external USB disk.
Once the data was copied, I deleted the volumes, recreated...
I am having great difficulty finding clear information on how the DSM Docker add-on handles volumes, and how internal volumes are affected by the reset operation on the container.
When a container is launched, it generally creates one or more volumes. What happens to these volumes upon a reset...
I was planning on using my DS1621+ to set up two separate volumes:
Volume 1:
2x 4TB SSD in RAID1
Volume 2:
2x12TB HDD as RAID1/SHR-1
The idea behind this setup was:
- To have a noiseless SSD volume (aside from DS cooling fan) for frequent access of files on-demand without wait times for drives...
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...
