    thank you for the updated videos. I was in the process of looking my QNAP NAS back over and re configuring it for the best setup 4 years after the initial build. Excited for the rest of the series.

    24:00 I found that, on the initial setup, if I select static IP address, things can get ugly when the router ignores that address and the two won't communicate leaving you out in the cold. So, I set this at DHCP to get started. Once everything is installed and settles down, then I find the IP address that the router assigns and set that as a reservation in the router. Or, change the IP address in the router to what you want, but setting it in the NAS almost universally is problematic for me.

    How can you add more drives on ZFS once the pool is created. That would be great.

      I'm squeezing the tutorial vids between other content (cannot publish more with the algorithm hurting the channel!). But if you become a YT member, you can watch them all now (even if you join, then immediately bail after watching them. Alternatively, the kofi and patreon nascompares pages have all the links too posted over the last 2 months and costs less too. Hope you are finding these guides helpful bud and thanks for watching.

    Thanks for the new videos of the QNAP series!
    One point you didn't address that I personally think is important is the topic of QNAP (system) apps and on which volume they are stored.
    When I set up my QNAP NAS, I initially created a "Multimedia" volume within Storage Pool 1. Since then, QNAP installs many apps on it by default. It is obviously not possible to subsequently move all apps to other volumes. I would prefer to have a separate SSD RAID 1 for system and apps only. What is the best way to do this (assuming you have enough available bays for this)? Just installing two SSDs for the initial setup, create a storage pool with these, set up a RAID 1 and create a volume e.g. "System" on it?

    • @tazukia743
      @tazukia743 Місяць тому +2

      Yes when initially setting it up, create your first volume out of your NVME or SSD's without any of the HDD's inserted. Complete the entire process, updating, installing initial QNAP apps and the like. Then insert your HDD's and create your storage volumes.

      @@tazukia743 Thank you very much. I appreciate your response to my comment and question. Would it be possible to remove my current HDDs full of data, and leave only the SSD/NVME for a complete reinstall of the system? When this is done, put the HDDs back in?
      I guess the home folders will then be on the SSD, right?

    • @tazukia743
      @tazukia743 24 дні тому

      @@user-jm8on7gx8k My understanding is that yes this can be done. I personally have not done this. I would make sure that everythiing was updated while all the drives where in. Then proceed by removing the HDD and resetting it all up with just the NVME's. I would also go ahead and install a couple apps to make sure that they are getting installed correctly. From there you can place the HDD's in the unit, making sure to put them back in the same slot that they were in originally. This would be just like if you got a new QNAP because the old one died.

      Almost certain, but I will be waiting till it's released (or at least just before) as any software guide I make now could be invalidated/incorrect in software updates between now and when it's available globally.

      Just had a look and if you scroll back to videos published in Feb, you should find all the other parts. The gui won't let me publish members video links here, but now you are a member, scrolling back to Feb should show you all of them + all the other vids that are only available to the member inner circle. Thanks for supporting everything me and Ed do at Nascompares bud. Have a great week!
