  1. I have a 12TB Unraid, OneDrive, Amazon Photo, ShareFile and two others back up strategies to backup all our data, I take backing up seriously. But I CAN NOT get my SO to back up her external USB drive. She won't do it; she is just trying to drive me crazy. It's photos, photo book project, Cricut crap etc. She does use two computers hence the USB drive. My problem is the external drive has exceeded the available storage on her internal drive. What is the best strategy to automate backing up a USB drive when connected to the laptop, directly to the cloud (OneDrive) without copying to a local computer first. I am thinking I could use some sort of sync strategy USB to the NAS, and then I can slowly upload the changes to the cloud, but I need help with a workflow. Any suggestions, advice?
  2. I would love some assistance finding the cause of my log file to fill up. Please see attached, and thank you in advance! /var/log is getting full (currently 100 % used) q-nas-diagnostics-20231112-1020.zip
  3. Just a quick short out to all that helped me! I took the low and slow approach, and I am fully upgraded. cheers!
  4. Thank you everyone for the advice!!! What is tripping me up is that the insutctions say the parity drive can not be bigger than the data drives. So when I have two parity drives, how do I do one and not the other?
  5. While I LOVE arguing sematic, this one, i will concede. I am running two parity drives so my question still stands, how do i tweak the instructions to replace both? I received 6x 7200 Red Pro 4TB drives, used, but used far less than my current ones to replace my 6x 5400 3Tb Red. I have assumed that I would see a boost in R/W performance when I replace the drives. Also, I know where these drives were used, so I can trust where they came from.
  6. My request is simple, I would like to update my little NAS to a slightly larger little NAS. I have always been data lose cautious and always ran raid 6 (I took all the articles in the 2010's seriously, RAID 5 IS DEAD). I currently have the OG 3TB Reds and have recently been gifted a set of newer 4TB Red Pro for the slight boost in speed. From readind i need to upgrade my parity drives first, but my concern is all the instructions posted are for setups with one parity drive and not two. How do I tweak the instuctions for two parity drives? Thank you!
  7. I want to say thank you and move on, but I am uncertain on how to do what you say. Can you further assist?
  8. I know this is not really answering your question, Those units are engineered to run 24/7 under full load in ideal conditions. By modifying them with either quieted fans, smaller power supply's, and generally messing about them with is inviting disaster with your data. You will shorten the life of your investment. Also, no one can recommend anything unless we know your office server minimum requirements... As for a cheap server, look for an old QNAP device, and load Unraid on it. I did that with my QNAP 670pro.
  9. I get the following error emailed to me every day at 01:00. I have basically determined that it's my external drive, the Unassigned Devices (plus?) app and the error has something to do with the fact that it is not an SSD drive. fstrim: /mnt/disks/ST8000DM004-2CX188_ZCT141ZM: the discard operation is not supported The problem is, i don't know how to stop the error from happening?! Please assist. Thank you, * edit... i meant to say i think it's the 'Dynamix SSD TRIM' app q-nas-diagnostics-20210103-1048.zip
  10. I have a noobish question. And all the other threads with this problem I have read seem to have very complicated problems and answers. I just want to be able to read and write to sub folders in the main SMB share with Windows ie. q:/Media/movies. Just recently I moved my Plex server to a Windows rig (for video card), and Plex needs read write access on the all the sub folders in my media folder, it does not. I created a new user gave it read/write and that did not work. I have some user named 'nobody' in windows, but can not add the read/write acess to that user with out an error. I even gave Windows my root user and that did not work either. This should not be a complicated problem... and I can not figure it out
  11. Is there a better way I can use my Cache Drive? I have a 1tb ssd drive and only using 31gb of it with my appdata stuff only. I just feel like it's a waste of space and would like to use it more of it. any general suggestions? q-nas-diagnostics-20200927-1821.zip
  12. thank you for the quick response! As i had said, the only problem i has was my sons minecraft server was lagging, and plex was really slow. thanks again!
  13. My server was running a little sluggish, so i rebooted it. After reboot all my docker apps are gone! I assume i can reinstall them, but i am hoping to not to that everytime i reboot. can anyone assist? thank you! q-nas-diagnostics-20200830-1159.zip
  14. I figured it out... I had to edit the Krusader app and add the path to the setup... then share the same path. Would someone recommend an app to unpack files?
  15. I need to unpack a HUGE 29gig file. through windows it was to take over 40min to unpack with 7zip. I was thinking if I move the file to my SSD cashe i should be able to unpack it quicker. How do I do this?
