    DSM 7 + SATA SSD for system. Does it make sense?

    in General Questions

    Posted

    I was planing too, to switch from USB to a small SSD 120GB (new, like 15€). I was hoping for quicker booting, app response/loading, etc..

    The goal you would want as above is nothing (much) to do with the boot device which is the USB/SSD. If speeding up boot process, faster app response time is something you are after then the SSD would play a role in your set up. There are a few things you need to consider

     

    1. Boot loader: the USB. Nothing much you can do for this.

    2. DiskStation Manager installation (DSM): this is the bare minimum, think of it as Windows or Linux, to control your devices such as disks, networks.. And some skeleton apps. This part can be speeded up with SSD.

    3. The individual app: such as Photos, Office etc. This part can be speeded up with SSD too.

    4. The data for the app: most of the apps will need some kind of storage and would provide an option to specify the location for the storage outside of the app at installation time. If this is the case, you can choose to put the apps to the SSD storage and store the data to the spinning disks.

      4a. Some apps won't provide an option at installation time but will create a share folder instead. You should pick the SSD at installation time so that everything would set up there and then move the share folder to the spinning disks later.

     

    Hope this helps.

    NAS Models support WriteOnce and Immutable Snapshots

    in Packages & DSM Features

    Posted

    Content extracted from https://kb.synology.com/en-global/DSM/tutorial/which_synology_nas_models_support_WriteOnce_and_secure_snapshots

    The ones in blue are supported by ARPL and TCRP. The ones in purple are supported as beta in ARPL.

     

    WriteOnce and immutable snapshots are both based on the WORM (Write Once, Read Many) technology. These two features offer your data further protection within a specified period.

    The following table lists the Synology NAS models that support WriteOnce and immutable snapshots.

    M.2 in Storage Pools with DSM 7.2 - which models

    in Readers News & Rumours

    Posted

    Extracted from Synology KC https://kb.synology.com/en-au/DSM/tutorial/Which_models_support_M_2_SSD_storage_pool

    • 23-series: DS1823xs+, DS923+, DS723+, DS423+
    • 22-series: DS1522+. Available on DSM 7.2 and later.
    • 21-series: DS1821+, DS1621xs+, DS1621+. Available on DSM 7.2 and later.

     

    There are some interesting notes

    1.  The DSM operating system cannot be installed on M.2 SSDs. For DSM installation to be successful, your Synology NAS must contain at least one drive that is not an M.2 SSD.
    2. Synology High Availability (SHA) does not support storage pools created using M.2 SSDs.

     

    Have fun.

    Update procedure with ARPL and TCRP

    in General Questions

    Posted

    Well said @Orphée. To @ed_co I might misread your requests in the thread but I can tell you that I had fun clicking around the web interface of TCRP. More to that, I also can tell you it is a lot more fun typing into the console over SSH to build the loader or even inside the Redpill itself. As you never know when you mistyped some letters and got a bad result. It is about playing and learning at the same time with xpenology for me. Reading the README.md is also very fun and feeling the effort from the dear developers like pocopico or those from the thorgroup. I am forever grateful to the work they were/are doing.

    My take from last night as an example when trying to get some fun with the latest tcrp with all the errors. I reported it to pocopico github repo and could see he was working on other tickets there a couple of minutes ago. He even fixed the issue I reported after that so I can see it this morning. Had felt even more grateful :)

     

    Now back to your point, if you feel like creating a step by step doco or something like that, I would suggest you to create a github repo to shape your initial findings and others can also contribute to it as you go. I might be better that way when the forum is scattered with info. It might sound crazy to some but losing time in the forum for stuff you can play with is part of the fun as well.😁

    Good morning.

    I need your help, I updated DS3622xs+ DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 5 to DSM 7.2-64561 but forgot to disable two factor authentication 😪

    I would like to know if there is a way to reset it, since there is no physical button like on the real nas, for example via SSH?

     

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    a quick search pointed to this link https://diktiosolutions.eu/en/synology/synology-reset-two-factor-authentication/

    Please try and report back.

    Hi, I think he meant the below

    1. Boot up TCRP up to the point where you can see it prints out the IP Address. For example 192.168.1.15
    2. From a different computer within the same network, such as a laptop or another desktop.
      • Open up a browser: Firefox, Chrome, Edge etc
      • Type in the IP address from point 1. You might have to type in the protocol as http, i.e http://192.168.1.15
    3. TCRP Web will greet you and you go from there.

    Hope this helps.

     

    What is tcrp with friend

    in The Noob Lounge

    Posted · Edited by namvan

    From the code here https://github.com/pocopico/tinycore-redpill/blob/main/rploader.sh

     

    withfriend is an option/mode when doing a build. As you can see from the sample command below

    ./rploader.sh build <model> withfriend

     

    In short, when building a loader for your setup you can tell the build to include that option for you. It is the default option anyway so you won't likely have to type it.

     

    bringfriend is however a command. You can think of it in the similar way as build. The use case is explained in the code and also from help command as below. The context if it might help, is to bring it into your existing loader setup instead of rebuilding a new one.

     

    - bringfriend
      Downloads TCRP friend and makes it the default boot option. TCRP Friend is here to assist with
      automated patching after an upgrade. No postupgrade actions will be required anymore, if TCRP
      friend is left as the default boot option.

     

    I in fact have my own question about that "assisit with automated patching after an upgrade". It is not very clear on what sort of patching is required and that kind of "an upgrade" is that 😁

     

    I can only guess: patching is for tcrp and upgrade is for DSM. So the docs could be clearer as

     

    - bringfriend
      Downloads TCRP friend and makes it the default boot option. TCRP Friend is here to assist with
      automated patching TCRP after an DSM upgrade. No postupgrade actions will be required anymore, if TCRP
      friend is left as the default boot option.

    Then I am pretty sure you got a kernel panic with the SATA card.

    Would you have time to try with bare minimum as below

    1. Remove all hard drives and also the SATA card

    1.a If you can find hot plug option in your BIOS, turn on for all SATA ports.

    2. Add only 1 hard drive or SSD to your onboard SATA

    3. Rebuild your loader from scratch

    4. Try find.synology.com or with Synology Assistant

     

    if good, try to take off 1.a and redo if you don't like it.

     

    Good luck mate.
