Go to DSM Control Panel > Network Interface > Manage > Service order Then all you have to do is make sure that the Bond (I assume you are using bonding if not, you should) is above the wireless interface and boom, it will prefer the ethernet over wireless.

Ok great, very clear instructions It's not currently set to bond, I'll give that a go too as soon as this transfer wraps up Thanks!

https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/help/DSM/AdminCenter/connection_network_linkaggr Gives a good overview what it does and how it might best work for you, honestly if you are transferring a lot of data, that extra gig connection is worth it. If you don't have the right switch/router config to allow the full protocol it will still do adaptive load balancing. There are few drawbacks in my opinion for what you get out of it.

Is there a preferred/standard way to organize files on a NAS? I have 2TB+ of files spread across probably five to twenty thousand folders, many of them photos but I have a day job and can't be arsed to fine grain move everything as it would take days if not weeks. I guess the upside is that for the last almost 25 years I intuitively know where all my important files are based on sort of filesystem muscle memory possibly amusing backstory, feel free to share your own Since I was 16 in the mid 1990s with a $100 Zip Disk I've just sort of been sequentially nesting all my files inside of other nested folders and now I'm starting to run in to windows file name length problems. I just shed probably 200 packrat ebooks i'll never read because their total name length exceeded 256 characters including folder structure. I think windows technically has a workaround now but the 256 limit is probably going to bite me elsewhere in the future. \\server\share\2007_backup\2002_backup\1999_backup\1996_backup \\admont\test\neogoliath\Goliath\E Drive\backups\backup 02-26-08\120gb drive (hadlock)\Toast's World\backup\tempbackup\backup

The problem isn't server side, it's doing copy operations on the client os. You have to have admin access and then modify the registry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled = 1 Synology (my NAS) offers > 260 char support out of the box so that's a moot point What organizational method do you use?

If you're talking just about photos, it's generally wise to organize them by a combination of subject and date. So, you could do something like: > Family > Dogs > Cars > Computers > Vacations > Sports ...or: >2019 >2018 ...and so on. Either way you're going to have to reorganize everything, but you could start by pulling up all of those yearly directories. Ideally you'd have details in the metadata of each file so you can easily search for them later but let's take it one step at a time. Also, if you really do tackle this project in long sessions, installing a file manager like Teracopy can help; it'll let you queue up file movements, so you don't have to deal with Windows just trying to start a bunch of them simultaneously as you organize.

Just to check, is there a difference between the WD Books vs Elements when it comes to shucking? Everything I saw ITT seems to prefer the former but I wasn’t sure if that was just based on sale price or if there’s a distinct hardware difference

The latter should open the same way, and the preferences for certain models is based on the drives that tend to come inside, which differs between capacities.

So, you could do something like: If you have a generally haphazard mess of a filesystem this is the best approach. Think of it as bucket sort - you can pre-sort each individual drive into categories, shove them together into a single filesystem, then manually deduplicate things as appropriate. Rsync is nice for this since it won't re-copy files that already exist on the destination filesystem. Also, ZFS snapshots are nice for this too, because if you mess up you can pull any lost files back from a previous version of the filesystem.

Your post got me thinking, How good is Synology deduplication? Like, could I just leave the haystack of files in a cryptic sounding folder like \old\ and then copy files as needed into my new Goliath folder with less than 5% inefficient? Microsoft's deduplication is block level so I think it's less than 10% inefficient which is pretty good.

So if I get a 4-disk Synology but I’m poor and lovely and only put two disks in at first, can I later convert that RAID 1 to a RAID 10 (by adding two more matching disks)? E: same question about adding a second M.2 SSD after the first is already in-place, actually? E2: Or could I maybe expand the 2 disk RAID1 into a 3 disk RAID5 and put in a 2.5” SSD for caching?

Z:\<name>\<name> backup\C\Users\<user name>\documents\my documents\docs\<photos folder from when windows xp had photos in in my documents>\family\screensaver\ then you right click, view folder detail and laugh as it enumerates files and folders and the file size of the folder suddenly balloons into 50 TB of data on a 8 TB hard-drive because when folder names get this long a weird windows 10 bug shows up.

Okay, finally figured it out. I had NFS shares trying to be the same pathname as my SMB shares. BSD does not like this! But, yay! Found the data. Glad I didn't give up, the only reason I didn't is that when trying to create a share, the web interface for freeNAS could still enumerate the file structure, which was my clue that the data was there but also that I am an idiot.

Unless you got a really good reason for RAID 10, it isn't the best for like general use.

Given that (like I said) I’m poor and lovely I’m leaning more and more towards starting with a RAID1 then expanding to the a 3-disk R5 with a hot swap, that way the NAS can keep NASing while a dead disk is getting returned to WD? And I guess speed it up with a R/W SSD cache made from the two M.2s?

FORUMS USER 1135 posted:Is there a quick rule of thumb for this? I just bought a 6TB Elements and got a Blue (literally, has the blue labeling on it). Its fine, but I am going to put together a Plex server later this year and want to get better drives for that. Rule of thumb for how to shuck or for which are the preferred drives? If it's the latter, no, but the best you can do is to just monitor the deal sites and see what drives others are saying they got in theirs. First, you can take a look to see what the retail drives are, and you'll see that for given capacities, only certain drive types are available (e.g. WD doesn't make Green and Blue drives above 6 or 8 TB, Seagate uses SMR which isn't a dealbreaker but just something to note, the 8+ TB capacities may be Reds or white-labels of the same, may be only Helium-filled, etc.) Then, while you might have to settle for receiving one of 3 or 4 different white-labels, just keep in mind that they're all going to be more than acceptable, especially for the price (considering they're so much cheaper than retail internal drives.) For WD's drives, basically anything 8+ TB will be NAS-grade Reds or equivalent, so just go with the best deal.

WD EasyStore 8TB or 10TB are the desired drives. 8 TB drives will be either Reds or rebranded HGST Heliums (the latter need a pin taped over, or to be powered from a Molex adapter), the 10TB will be all Heliums. Ideally you want the "Made in Thailand" version as these have 256MB cache, but tbh it really doesn't matter anyway, your plex server isn't going to run noticeably different on the 128MB drives. MyBooks usually have inferior drives inside, Seagate usually have SMR drives and also are made by Seagate, the worst hard drive company on the planet.

For software RAID that does a mix of asyncronous and syncronous writes, the cache on spinning rust means gently caress-all except in the rare instances where the cache is not backed by enough power capasitance to keep the drive spinning for long enough that the cache is written to disk before the disk shuts down. Also, be aware that SMR is not "just" SMR; there's at least three different forms and only one of them requires the host to be aware of the SMR state of the disks and modify its behaviour accordingly - and most importantly, consumer drives are basically never the host-aware type because vendors know that customers can't be trusted to tell the difference, or have an OS that knows how to write to SMR drives for all its supported filesystems.

Hadlock posted:Your post got me thinking, You do still get all the benefits of a COW filesystem like snapshots, and DSM automate those. Re-read your post and realized you weren't really talking about deduplication in the technical sense. In your scenario the efficiency would be basically 100% due to btrfs being a copy-on-write filesystem. I think you need to enable an option in the DSM control panel to make it work that way over SMB but I'm not sure. Basically when you copy a file on a btrfs volume, no extra space is consumed until you change one of the files. susan b buffering fucked around with this message at 00:33 on May 12, 2019 |

I was wondering if any of you had been using VMM and trying to install arch. I have the weirdest bug. When I install it on hardware it does fine. When I install it on VMM it will randomly stop the dchpcd process and kill the virtual switch.
