  1. Dear Gentlemans! Could you please answer what kind of problem may it be: I have succesefully installed with Jun's 1.03b 6.2.3 Update 3, but WD Red 3Tb disks visible only like 2Tb's. Whats matter? How it can be heal? Sorry for dumb question, if it really dumb!..
  2. Hi everybody. I've been looking everywhere on the forum but didn't find anything similar to the issue I'm facing. I recently built a new unit with an AsRock J4005b-ITX, 8Gb RAM, A Dell Perch H200 (flashed to IT mode, firmware 20.00.07.00) and 6 x 2Tb drives configured as a RAID 5 with a H.S.: 2 x ST2000DL0003 2 x WD20EFAX 2 x WD20EFRX Jun's Loader 1.04b and DSM 6.2.3-25426 U3 Installation worked just fine; in a few min I was able to find the new nas over the network and performed the basic installation steps. The issue arises once I create the storage pool. As soon as the parity consistency check finishes I get the "system partition failed" warning on all the WD drives. I've tried everything I could think ok, including wiping the partitions on all the drives and reinstalling the system from scratch but no luck: I create the storage pool and get the message of the failed system partition as soon as the parity consistency check ends. All the drives are showing fine. I came across a couple of articles on the web stating that WD has been using the SMR technology also on the WD RED series and Synology has recently flagged these drives as not compatible with their systems. I would like to know if there's anything else I might try, if it is worth to loose more time trying to find a fix or a workaround or simply I should not bother at all about that and keep running the system the way it is (though I'm not for that as the thought to have 4 drives with a broken system partition it's more than an itch...). The other solution is returning the WD drives back and get some seagate in order get rid of this issue. Any comment or suggestion would be highly appreciated.
  3. If you own a WD Red NAS SMR drive or plan to buy one you should read this article: https://blocksandfiles.com/2020/04/14/wd-red-nas-drives-shingled-magnetic-recording/ Update: https://blocksandfiles.com/2020/04/24/western-digital-smr-drives-policy-change/
