  1. Oops, I misunderstood your message then. I will look into this, although I have already tried different BIOS settings. Thanks.
  2. So moving the Xpenology setup to a VM might help? I think the J3455 is not powerful enough to run VM's at an acceptable speed, and might be too limited in virtualization support anyway. I have already tried this last week (forgot to mention this in my 1st post, sorry). Reducing RAM to 8 GB does not change anything. Besides, the system runs fine with 16 GB and only 1 core active. Thanks, anyway.
  3. I have been running Xpenology on a home-built system for about two years now. I am using a Gigabyte J3455 motherboard with 16 GB RAM and 4 hard disks. The Intel J3455 is a quad core processor without hyperthreading. The hardware is similar to a Synology DS918+. I am running DSM 6.2.3 bare metal, using DS918+ software with Jun's bootlader 1.04b. The system has been running reliably for two years now, except for one thing: booting is unreliable and slow. Sometimes the system doesn't boot at all and needs to be restarted. Sometimes it boots but there is no network connection. When it boots OK, it takes about 7 minutes before the system is online. Last week I tried to reduce the power consumption of the system by disabling processor cores via the BIOS. Much to my surprise, the system boots reliably with just one core active, and also boots much faster: about 2 minutes instead of 7 minutes. The web interface also seems more responsive with just one core enabled. I have tried different settings with 1 to 4 cores enabled, and the system boots much slower as the number of active cores increases. Also the boot problems get worse as the number of active cores increases. File transfers are also a bit faster using one core only: 114 MB/sec read/write (1 core) and 101 MB/sec read/write with 4 cores enabled. The CPU load with 1 core is nearly 100% during these transfers, and far less with 4 cores. Pretty weird, huh? Any thoughts?
