Hi SpaceRex, Thanks to your videos, I was able to make an informed decision on what NAS to get-I went with Synology! As someone new to this field, I really appreciate how accessible and thorough your content is. With your wealth of knowledge, I managed to set up a network that all my computers are connected to, which is fantastic. Now that I'm subscribed to your channel, I'm getting helpful updates on Synology packages too! I just finished my first update, and it went smoothly thanks to your guidance. Keep up the awesome work-it’s making a real difference.
Thanks man. Really he appreciate this timely video. I saw updates became available, Synology actually emailed me about it too, which they rarely do, but I didn't make up my mind to do it, because I thought if things aren't broken don't fix it. Your video pushed me to do it!
Recently got a DS1522+ after coming across your channel while trying to figure out what to get for a NAS. Appreciate these videos for someone who is new and absolutely clueless!
I really appreciate this video. Made me feel like a real sysadmin at home. Thought / Request, some kind of series where you demonstrate what you consider to be useful maintenance tasks, combined with whatever type of checklist system you use to insure everything is both up to date, and up to your standards.
I spotted this yesterday following an email from Synology and updated. What is odd is that my ageing 216+ii no longer seems to check for updates on its own and I have to do everything manually. It's not EOL so I don't know why that has changed.
Thanks for confirming - I patched earlier today (now running DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 1 with updated packages) but its nice to have my "early adopter" approach vindicated.
Hey! Your videos are like a friendly guide, breaking down complex topics into easy-to-understand chunks. I recently upgraded my home network, and your advice was invaluable. I'm now confident in managing my NAS and backing up my precious data. Thanks to you, I've finally taken control of my tech life!
@@SpaceRexWillwow, I didn't know that. Not terribly impressed tbh - if a unit is still in support, a major security update like this should be reported through the GUI. I thought mine was just being recalcitrant, and did a manual update. Guess I need to keep an eye out for DSM updates myself in future.
Load of bollocks by upgrading to the latest version of OS I will lose some original apps IE videos and features. I don't mind upgrading to the latest version of OS, but I want to keep all the apps to be able to run as when I purchased the hardware.
Thanks for this. I have been lax in checking for patches. 😭 Also, I quit using auto-update back when Microsoft had issues with WSUS where you weren’t sure any advertised update was actually legitimate. That’s been a while ago.
as soon as I learned that I can playback my movie/video files through Synology Drive app/portal, and since I view them on TV through DLNA media server anyway, I went with removing Video Station and upgraded to 7.2.2, and got one less app to remember
I was not able to login to my two Synology DS418 using my admin account after the SMB package has been autoupdated a few days ago (November 5, 2024). I could login with „ user account. The admin password was on file and it worked before the SMB package was automatically updated. To resolve the issue I had to reset the admin account and login with admin and no password. I tried to set that same password that did not work to login but the system would not allow this, because minimum password requirements were missing.
Thanks for the heads up patch requirements. WARNING to other users, my DS920+ with a DX517 had issues after the upgrade. Drive 3 and 4 of the DS920+ lost the system partition (fixed via repair partition). Drive four on the DX517 completely lost all data and showed as failed. Although I did not touch the box prior to the upgrade, powering it down and resetting the drive made it become healthy again. Unfortunately the data was gone, so I'm waiting the 2.5 days for the volume repair (good thing it was only one drive). As a IT Professional, I know I can't say the upgrade caused this, but it is extremely suspicious. My other DS920+, DS1522+ and two DS224+ units upgraded without issue.
I think I'm going to leave auto update off but turn notifications on. I had a bad experience once on a shared server with an ecommerce site that required a certain version of php and the server updated the php to a higher version and the ecommerce software broke because it couldn't handle it. Unfortunately there wasn't a rollback function either.
Just did the manual update to patch 6 tonight. Seems to be all good thus far Also, tip for ya’ll. When downloading files, I’d always recommend verifying the hash. Easy way to do this on Windows - powershell -> certutil -hashfile MD5 That should spit out an identical MD5 to the one Synology posted online. If it doesn’t, don’t upload that puppy to your NAS lol. There’s equivalent ways to verify on Nix or Mac, but it’s been awhile, I’m typically running native Windows these days
If they're so concerned about potential exploits, why havent they fixed the volume encryption vulnerability yet? Seem's like something that would be an easy thing to fix. Just add a stern warning to users that they'll have to re-enter password when the unit reboots, and make this feature opt in. I can not understand why it's not fixed.
Hmm. Discovered my system won't let me log in - keeps asking me for the code, but then rejects the code I have from authly. Tried restarting the NAS, but still no dice. Not sure what to do about that, so it will remain unpatched until I can figure it out.
If my NAS units are never exposed to the Internet, and are on a trusted network, do I still need to update DSM from 7.2.1? Edit: I wound up going with 7.2.1 release 6. The update was fast and easy. Were it not for you showing how to manually download Release 6, I would never have known, as it was not shown as an option on my NAS (only 7.2.2). Thank you!!!!!!!!!

They not going to bring back H265. They put in the effort to make helper applications to substitute it. (Meaning thumbnail generation, not video station)
updated to DSM 7.2.2-72806 on my 1019+ and it trashed the Synology Photos database, tags gone, shared photos turned off, all albums gone. Thank you Synology! Thankfully I have plenty of backups but it goes to show you can never trust a patch 100%

I didn't delve any further (apart from reading a couple of slightly similar posts on reddit) and just did a restore of the app configuration using Hyper Backup :) As you say, backup backup backup :)
You need to manually download the "7.2.1 update 6 " and manually make the update, otherwise it only be updated when Synology make it available automatically.
I am finding that the recent update to SMB Services is a little problematic with it timing out for a minute or so and then dropping all connections under certain conditions.
Yo Will, I just change out the Hyper Back Up • Hard Drive and it is writing the drive for the first time another probably 3 days to go. Should I stop the Hyper Back for the update?

I only had one update: for Synology Drive. Either they are not out yet, or they already installed on mine. Correction: there was a DSM update (update 1).
I just found out from the comments here that 18 series and older don't get updates through the control panel any longer - you have to download the patch and manually install. Annoying.
Yes. I had 3 devices still on update 5, only one of which was showing the update 6 as available for download. An additional device was on update 4. I manually updated all of them to update 6. They were all set to auto update for security updates.

I followed the instructions for DSM 7.1.1, but when I try to install the patch, it says "DSM cannot be rolled back to an older version.". Does that mean it already got patched?

One thing to remember is that older models not longer report available DSM updates in the GUI.
Yeah, they stopped publishing 18 units through control pannel. Those units need to use the manual package update method I showed here
I also noticed that for me to get from my current version of 7.2.1 to the latest 7.2.2, it's a 3 update process one at a time.
