Hey guys, the new instance feddit.org is online, actually still in the test phase, but everything is running smoothly, while we at feddit.de do not know how things will continue because the admin is not available and the website is down. The future of feddit.de is uncertain. Feddit.org is managed democratically by the non-profit organization fediverse.foundation in Vienna, where the servers are also located. The administration consists of 3 feddit.de people and one from the foundation. You can decide for yourself whether you want to move the community to feddit.org or stay here, but the option is there. Wann move?

I am constantly hearing disc activity on my ds218+. In the Activity manager I can see constant read/write on the performance overview. In the task list I can't see anything showing read/write, other than Swap, but that shows up less frequently than i hear the clicking. The RAM usage on the system is also under 50%.

Can anyone help? I am driving myself insane, trying to find the cause. I disabled the usage history in the performance monitor and all docker containers are paused.

I have a RAID 6 volume with data protection on my DS1621+. A video file seems to have become corrupt - it worked in Plex a few months ago but now it won’t play at all. I’ve tried in VLC, the built-in DSM video player - nothing seems to work. No other files appear to be corrupt, all drives show as Healthy.

Is it possible to repair the file, and if so how would I do that? My research seems to only find results where an entire volume is corrupt. In this case I’d like to just recover a single file.

I‘m planning to migrate from a DS224+ with 2x14TB in Raid 1 and with volume encryption to a DS423+ with 2x18TB in SHR and no encryption.

The 2x14TB will be added later on to the DS423+. That’s why I want to use SHR to effectively use the mixed HDD sizes.

Since I would like to keep everything the same as it was on the DS224+, what would be the best approach to migrate to the new NAS? Can the synology migration assistant be used for this task, or are the difference in Raid (R1 to SHR) or the unwanted volume encryption going to be a problem?

Or is there a better and more effective way to deal with this?

I.e. like inserting all disks into the new NAS, creating a new SHR volume2 with the two empty 18TB and then move each shared folder individually to the new volume. Afterwards deleting the original volume1, format the disks and add them to the new volume2? I will add a NVMe to one of the slots as a storage pool anyways which could be the new volume1 (if that matters at all) for docker containers.

Any help and experience will be appreciated!

I have set up the reverse proxy at the login portal. I love it, but if I use a url to a non existant service, the proxy sends my to the dsm login page. I dont want this. Is there a way of configuring so that any address not in the list of valid adresses is sent to a 404 page?

Based on the analysis of the community submissions to the Synology RAM Compatibility List, here are some key insights from the previous year:

General Overview

• Total Responses: 268
• Unique NAS Models: 40
• Unique Memory Brands: 37
• Unique Vendor Countries: 46

Memory Brands Tested

A total of 37 different memory brands have been tested, including Kingston, Crucial, NEMIX, Timetec, and Samsung.

Vendor Countries

The dataset includes responses from 46 different countries, with the UK, France, Germany, USA, Canada, and others being prominent.

Success Rate of Memory Tests

• 85.4% of the memory tests reported successful outcomes (marked as "Yes").
• 14.6% of the tests reported unsuccessful outcomes (marked as "No").

Success Rate Analysis By Brand

Based on the analysis of memory brand performance in Synology NAS systems, considering brands with at least 5 entries, here are the insights:

Top Working Brands

• Micron: 100% success rate (9 tested, 9 worked)
• SK Hynix: 100% success rate (7 tested, 7 worked)
• Nemix: 93.33% success rate (15 tested, 14 worked)
• Timetec: 90.00% success rate (20 tested, 18 worked)
• Samsung: 88.46% success rate (26 tested, 23 worked)

Brands with Lower Success Rates

• Corsair: 60.00% success rate (5 tested, 3 worked)
• Crucial: 82.35% success rate (85 tested, 70 worked)
• V-Color: 83.33% success rate (6 tested, 5 worked)
• Kingston: 83.87% success rate (62 tested, 52 worked)

It's important to note that while brands like Micron and SK Hynix show a 100% success rate, the number of tests conducted is relatively low compared to brands like Crucial and Kingston, which have a larger number of tests. Therefore, the high success rates for Micron and SK Hynix could be influenced by the smaller sample size.

Most Common Memory Sizes Tested

The most common memory module size tested is 16 GB, followed by 8 GB, 32 GB, and 4 GB.

ECC vs Non-ECC Memory

• 145 instances of Non-ECC memory were reported. (54.1%)
• 77 instances of ECC (error-correcting) memory were reported. (28.73%)
• 26 responses were unsure if the memory was ECC or not.

Top NAS Models Tested

The most frequently tested Synology NAS models are DS923+, DS920+, DS224+, DS220+, and DS423+.

I ended up getting the Timetec 16GB module from Amazon (clean link: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07H4XNNXK).

Couldn't have been easier. I turned the NAS off, removed the drives (for easier access to the memory slot), dusted the inside of the case (absolutely needed in my home), slotted the module in, and turned the NAS back on.
