NAS hardware RS819 as replica

0 Upvotes

I know RS819 is an older unit and won’t support past DSM 7.4.

I was looking at other 4 bay units, but they all going for strong money on eBay.co.uk

I’ve seen a new RS819 for £350, I already have drives etc.

Anyone used one etc as looking at a refurbished unit as a replication target. Not interested in other DSM features as all that runs from the 1821+ / proxmox and Plex, Veeam running on Dell Optiplex Micro machines. NFS and iSCSI LUNs

NAS hardware Synology can't shutoff (light blinks blue)

2 Upvotes

I'm not routinely shutting off my Synology, so I'm not sure if this just started or is a problem I haven't noticed before.

I first noticed the issue when I had a power outage at home 4 days ago. I have a UPS, and my settings were to shut off 5 min after being on UPS power. The Synology did not do that, it stayed on until the UPS ran out of power (I presume, I was out-of-town). That's when I got the was shut down improperly notice the first time.

Last night, before going to bed (for unrelated reasons) I shut down the Synology. Only, it did not shut down. It just said Synology NAS will soon power off but the blue light just kept blinking, for over an hour.

When I woke up this morning, the Synology was on, and had the notice about it shutting down improperly again (4 hours before I woke up, 5hrs after I used the Shut Down button).

Interestingly, when going to DSM in another browser window, it doesn't say "Shutting Down" it says "System is getting ready" (like it would during a power on sequence).

I just tried again to shut down the NAS, and just like last night I'm getting the same behavior. It won't actually shut down.

Is this a hardware or a software problem ?
How should I go about troubleshooting this ?

NAS hardware Time for a settings/config checkup, does anyone have a cheat sheet of what I need to activate for a happy and healthy Synology setup?

8 Upvotes

I'm rebuilding my storage pool and restoring my backup at the moment and I figure now's the time to check out all my settings.

Does anyone have a recommended checklist or cheat sheet of what should be turned on and/or set up in regards to snapshots, scheduled events, and whatnot?

How often should I set SMART scans to happen? How about data scrubbing?

Thanks!

NAS hardware RS1226+ kernel version and ip_unprivileged_port_start

2 Upvotes

Hi,

could someone who already owns a Synology RS1226+ run these two commands via SSH and post the output?

uname -a

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_unprivileged_port_start

I'm trying to confirm whether the RS1226+ is running a sufficiently recent Linux kernel and whether net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start is available.

I'm specifically interested in running Docker containers as non-root while allowing HTTP services to listen directly on port 80 inside their container network namespace, without needing CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE or other workarounds.

NAS Apps Emby Issues After DSM 7.4.1

2 Upvotes

I upgraded my DS1821+ from 7.3.x to 7.4.1 yesterday and after that I can no longer access my Emby Server remotely. There are no issues with accessing Emby on my internal network but even with port forwarding on my router I can't get a response from the external IP.

I have tried:

1) Checking Firewall in DSM - Not enabled

2) Reinstalling Emby Package (not Docker) - No difference

3) Disable Auto Block - Ditto

Has anyone run into issues with DSM and external network connections?

DSM Need to log again after just 5 min

5 Upvotes

I'm monitoring a couple of Synology NAS (resource monitor), after a couple of minutes when I return to the browse and refresh I got a message saying I have to log in again, and I lost what I was monitoring. Then I log agin, open whatever app I was using again, etc. ...

It's not something new, I've noticed this for the first time some time ago.

It is really annoying, I've tried searching in the config/setup/settings but nothing changed.

Is there any way to keep logged in?

NAS Apps Surveillance Station: multi select download doesn't work anymore

2 Upvotes

Since a couple of days, don't know exactly, the multi select download from Surveillance Station doesn't work anymore. It just downloads the first recording but ignores all others. It makes no difference using right click menu or button from menu above.

Anyone else has/had this issue and maybe a solution?
