Is there an easy way to find which volume a package is installed? There are a ton of ZFS* volumes so it is to difficult to find the .qpkg that holds the app.

I need to ssh to the NAS in order to run a command from the .qpkg.

This seems to be a very recent thing where my backups to Google Drive using Hybrid Backup Sync keep failing.

I have a few backup jobs, one for each top level folder on my NAS, to backup to Google Drive for each user. This is all set up under my admin account.

Now with Google Drive, it says that it is connected and I have re-authenticated as well, and while some more recent files have copied over, many others have not.

For a few years, I have trusted that all my data is copying over, basically mirroring what is on the NAS but over to Google Drive.

I know that storage is adequate for the time being so not a capacity issue. The error log also doesn't give much away, unless Google is blocking the connection and in that case then, there is nothing I can do.

I may need some suggestions as for cloud storage as I doubt I be getting 2TB any cheaper than £35 a year from Turkey.

I'm just conscious that I have only what is on NAS plus some rsync job to some external storage attached to the NAS but I run those from my Mac periodically to take full backups.

Anyone else experiencing issues with Google Drive lately? I added some exclusions also, for files that Google Drive is known to have issues with backing up.

Are there folder or directory path character limits?

I'm being recommended BackBlaze S3 but then I've not looked at cost yet and wondering if this is too much for my needs. I like that Google Drive is there as an app on my iPhone and I can pull files irrespective of whether I have my VPN on or not, and the downloads are faster from Cloud storage than from NAS.

In this case, my NAS is not in my home, its elsewhere so downloads are faster everywhere, or irrespective of where I am except for physical NAS location if out and about.

I've been trying to open a support ticket but every time I hit submit it I get a Validate failed error.

I've tried my phone. Firefox, edge, an incognito tab.

I don't know how to get this submitted.

Some models seem to contain later revisions of the CPU (stepping 9 instead of 3) effectively having a fixed clock.

[~] # cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -E "model name|stepping" | uniq

If anyone could share some ideas to help.
I have a macbook pro, plugged into Caldigit TS5+ to pass through a 10gb connection with my qnap.

I have 2 shared folders setup on my qnap & inside the mac I have set them both to connect on start up.
1 of the shared folders connects and usually stays connected all the time, although the other one always disconnects and wont reconnect unless inside the qmanager I connect the shared network drive and pin it as a favourite.

Is there a setting I might have missed for this other drive?

I recently got a free (ewaste) 48 port + 4 SFP 1G Cisco Catalyst 2960-S switch and have been trying to get fiber working on it. I bought some Cisco-compatible SFP transceivers (10Gtek ASF13-24-10-D) and connected it to my Mac via a QNAP Thunderbolt to SFP+ adapter, which uses a Marvell AQC100S internally. This is primarily a 10G adapter, but it works fine with most devices at 1G as well.

However, when connected to the Cisco switch, the switch doesn't show the link as up, while the QNAP adapter does. The switch has no link light, and reports no packet errors or anything on the port. Meanwhile macOS thinks the port is up just fine and tries to send packets.

If either side is replaced with an Intel I210 card using the same SFP transceivers, everything works normally. QNAP --fiber--> I210 is fine, and I210 --fiber--> switch is fine. To me, this indicates the transceivers are compatible, and the QNAP adapter is capable of working with a 1G fiber connection, but the Cisco switch is expecting something that the I210 provides but the AQC100S does not. Any ideas or similar experiences?

Latter died so placed drives into a new TS-216G which I believed was the more modern equivalent. Placing drives straight in seemed to work but now the previously flawless Plex streaming now buffers every few seconds making it unwatchable.

Is there something I still need to do or is the NAS actually worse?

Trying to dust off my QNAP server running QuTS Hero 5.2.9.

When I try installing apps, I get the following error message

>[App Center] Failed to install HBS 3 Hybrid Backup Sync. The default storage pool for installing apps is unavailable. Check the status of the default pool in Storage & Snapshots.

How do I change the default storage pool for apps?

I got a Qnap TS-879u-RP from work. I reset the unit. I am able to get into the web interface. Firmware is older(3.6.1 Build 0302T) it will not take 4.x firmware either. Any help would be apricated.

I tried to put out a support ticket but the ticket failed with "Validate Fail" message. That message tells me nothing. I filled in all the spaces, including a photo of my system and the LOG file that gave the details of the problem. Yet, no joy. I tried to use the CHAT feature on the support page but no one picked and replied other than the AI, and the AI admitted it could not help me but would transfer me to a real human. No human picked up the chat. No support ticket, no chat support. I'm at a loss as to what my next move is. The TS-002 is running the current firmware 1.3.0, and the QNAP External RAID Manager is at the current firmware level.

Update:

I found the root cause of the issue.

The problem was caused by the installed Tailscale application (the official one from qnap app store).

When I stopped the Tailscale service, the NAS immediately became reachable again over the local LAN and everything worked normally.

As soon as I started the Tailscale service again, the NAS disappeared from the local network with the exact same behavior as before, while it remained accessible through Tailscale.

To test this, I removed the existing Tailscale installation and installed the latest version from the MyQNAP repository. After upgrading to the newer version, the problem disappeared completely. The NAS is now fully accessible over both the local LAN and Tailscale, even after reboots.

As an additional suggestion, if someone from QNAP is reading this, I would recommend updating the Tailscale package available through the official QNAP App Center. The version currently provided there appears to be several years out of date, which can lead to compatibility issues and makes troubleshooting much more difficult.

I’m completely stuck and hoping someone has seen this before.
My TS-233 worked perfectly until I updated QTS. Since the update, the NAS boots normally and is fully accessible via its LAN IP for about 2 minutes. Then it suddenly disappears from the local network.

Symptoms:
LAN IP stops responding.
NAS disappears from the router’s client list.
Qfinder can no longer find it.
SMB/Web UI/SSH over LAN all stop working.
The strange part is that the NAS is still online:
Tailscale continues to work perfectly.
I can SSH into it through Tailscale.
From the NAS, I can ping my router and other LAN devices.
ip addr, ip route, and the interface all look normal.
Link stays up at 1 Gbps.

Things I’ve already tried:
Downgraded to the previous firmware.
Downgraded again to the firmware version that was running before the issue started.
Switched between static IP and DHCP.
Removed DHCP reservation.
Restarted the network service.
Disabled QuFirewall completely.
Performed the 3-second reset (network settings reset).

The 3-second reset temporarily restored LAN access. The NAS received a fresh DHCP address, worked for about 2 minutes, and then disappeared from the LAN again with exactly the same behavior while remaining fully accessible through Tailscale.

At this point I’m wondering if the firmware update corrupted some internal networking component that survives firmware downgrades, or if there’s another service killing LAN connectivity after boot.

Has anyone experienced anything similar or found a fix? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hiya

Thinking about buying 2x Qnaps for house and remote location for redundancy.

I’ve read here you can backup using:
QuWAN Orchestrator 2.9 and later versions
QVPN Service 3.3 and later
QNAP NAS running QTS with HBS 3 Hybrid Backup Sync installed

But wondering how long the transfer speeds would take on both connections 500/200 and other 500/50

Can I get away with cheaper model TS-216G? for slower upload one and a QNAP TS-473A for faster one?

Just looking for a very simple NAS setup for my Mom. It will pretty much only be used for file/photo storage. It seems like this option would fit what im looking for and I have to opportunity to pick one up for a very good price. I have never used QNAP products before so I just want to make sure im not missing anything.

Planned setup is 2 2TB drives set up in raid 1. Will be more than enough space for her and she wants the maximum file protection so I figured having the drives mirrored for her is the best bet. She also has everything backed up to a separate external ssd.

I have talked to her multiple times about cloud storage options but she is fully against it no matter how secure I tell her it is. I just want her to have this as another backup option so everything isnt in one spot.

Hey Guys,
I want a 4 Bay Nas for a good price and found this older system in my area and wondered if its worth it? Its 250€.

I just want to run a fileserver, jellyfin and backup so nothing too intense but Im thinking about transcoding and any issues regarding it.

Is it recommended to just run qts or proxmox?

The hdds are from 2019 and he says they are in good condition. And how noisy is the device?

Thanks in advance!

A while back I asked for advice on the best unit. I had a TS-451+ (4 2TB drives) and a TR-004 (4 4TB drives) in RAID5, mostly. the TR-004 was JBOD. Honestly, I didn't know what I was doing when I first got going. I planned the move carefully with help from this community. The results have been incredible.

I'm now on a TVS-h674 with 6 16TB Exos drives and 1 2TB NVMe with RAIDZ1. All system stuff running on the NVMe storage pool. I never had snapshots before, but do now. I had some janky containers in container station but now layered Dockhand on top. My Plex config is finally complete with Prowlarr, Sabn, Sonarr, Radarr, Sportarr, Tautulli, Seerr, Bazarr, Homarr, Kometa. Cloudflare as a reverse proxy exposes Seerr to my users. Homebridge manages my non-homekit devices (with HVAC control in progress). I put in a small CPU only LLM just for fun but it's not great quality.

I remember feeling like I was in the future when I set up my first on a decade ago but, wow, was it a basic garbage setup compared to now. Learned a ton along the way too!

The only downside to having it all done is that the fun of configuring is also over. Very appreciative of all the advice I got here on my posts and what I read on others. Now I need a new project!!

I have a QNAP TS-464 and want to upgrade with a TS-664, can I just move the disk over?

Or do I need to format the disks?

Thanks

I got an ASUS RTX 4060 I wanted to use in my QNAP.

I knew and I see also the power connector on it. Though the graphic card came without any cable.

How should I install the card and where can I get the power cable for the GPU ?

Thank you.
