Thanks for your reply! I first tried to burn a different usb with the same version of TCRP loader and DSM 7.1. It didn't work. Then I tried last version of TCRP and DSM 7.2. No success. Finally, tried Arc Loader and DSM 7.2 and the system is up and running. Fortunately, my data is still there. I only have to re-install the apps and configure the system as it was. I will definitely buy a UPS!

Hi, my nas has been running for about one year now without any issue. I installed tinycore-redpill-uefi.v0.8.0.5.img in a usb drive, followed instructions and got my DSM_DS918+ running with different volumes and disks. The pc is an i5 with 10Gb ram. Yesterday we had two sudden power cuts and the system stopped working. After booting there is an error: invalid arch-independent ELF magic. Entering recue mode... I have tried to create other usb drive following the same steps, I can get Tinycore working, I can ssh using Putty, but after everything I can't find / access the nas in https://finds.synology.com/ , or using Synology Assistant. Can anyone point me in a direction to recover the system? I don't want to lose all my data. Thanks

Thanks blindspot for your quick answer. You have solved all my concerns. When I said exFAT I meant ext4, Sorry. I will install DS918 for transcoding. Merry Xmas from Spain

Hi, thanks in advance for your help! My specs: Motherboard: Asus h87m-pro Processor: Intel i5 - INTEL Xeon D-1531 Ram: 10GB PCIe SATA expansion card 4 ports - So, there are 10 SATA ports available. I've successfully installed DSM 7.1 model DS3622xs+ using 6 SATA III 500GB HDDs in Raid 5 mode. Installed Home Assistant in a Virtual Machine, Jellyfin in Docker, Synology Drive, Photos, etc. Everything works ok, but I have been accessing movies through an external HDD. It will be a home / family server, to store Documents and Family photos, as well as mobile synchronization. Furthermore, it will be running Home Assistant and Jellyfin as media server. I've got 5 1Tb SSDs lying around and 1 8Tb HDD full of movies. My plan is dedicate the 5tb SSDs for documents and photos, as well as for Synology apps and then add the HDDs for movies and music. Question 1. Jbod or Raid 5? for the documents and photos we don't want to loose. I know Raid 5 is redundant and if one disk dies I can recover it with another one. But considering they are SSDs, their lifespan and reliability is supposed to be longer. In any case, I will take backups regularly. Question 2. If I first make a Storage pool and Volume 1 with the 5 SSDs, can I create another Storage pool for the HDDs in Jbod? These will be used for storing movies and music, I don't care if I loose them. Question 3. Btrfs or exFAT? My guess is that as I am installing Virtual Machine I need Btrfs. Right? But what about the other Storage pool for the movies? can I use exFAT? Question 4. With this model DS3622xs+ and my processor with integrated GPU, can I have transcoding? I've been testing it with my previous setup but I couldn't. I'm open to any suggestion or advice. Thanks
