After setting up my TS-664 I learned too late that notification history and some other logs require an unencrypted volume to save at.

I don’t have one 🫩 external USB drives aren’t accepted for that function either.

I don’t recall being given this important detail when setting up the NAS. Did I miss it?

Any suggestions as to how to recover from this shortfall? Just add another small internal drive? I got a spare bay but it feels like this is a crude approach.

I guess I could look into shrinking an existing volume but that’s a bit more intrusive than I’d like.

Can I add a cloud based drive somehow? Not great I know, since the access could fail any time.

Thanks.

TL;DR: Are there known incompatibilities between the Smart Plugs and a UPS? Like maybe the UPS doesn’t feed clean enough sine power?

I have my Internet Service Provider’s Fiberoptic ONT (~Modem) plugged into a new Shelly Smart Plug that’s plugged into an APC UPS. The idea is to keep my internet stable during power grid glitches or outages. The Shelly is configured to auto turn on after being off. That’s the only automation on the device. Reason is I have a watchdog script running on a pi-hole that monitors my internet connection and turns off the Shelly after several connection faults, effectively rebooting my ONT.

Since installing this setup, I have random loss of physical layer LAN connection between my router and my ONT. About twice a day.

My script log says it’s not firing the reboot. The Shelly shows no history of power cycling itself.

To test, I removed the Shelly and UPS from the setup, plugging the ONT back into the wall outlet and voilà, fault has disappeared for the last 48 hours.

Next I’ll plug the ONT just into the UPS without the Shelly to test where the issue stems from.
