Storage / Re: Buffalo TeraStation TS5400R Hard Drive Capacity Support

You can usually speed up resync by bumping up the speed limit by modifying:

Code: [Select]

/proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max

Do you have a "How-To" on how to get in and change this?

Thanks

Success,

My TS5400R is running 4x 20TB drives in a Raid 10 for a total of 37TB of storage.

It was not as straight forward as i had hoped it would go.

After breaking the existing Raid (4x 12TB), I dismouted drive 4 and installed a 20TB drive
I tried to get the NAS to rediscover it but it just gave me the error.
I then used GPARTED LIVE to create a GPT partition table and installed it again. It just gave me another error.

Here is what worked.
Using GPARTED LIVE I created the GPT Partition table and copied the first 5 partions from my old 12TB drive to the new 20TB.
This left 18.17TB of unallocated space.
installed the new drive into slot 4 and did a REDISCOVER DISK.
The NAS showed the drive as unformatted.
Formatted the drive and got 18593.1GB capacity.

I did the same thing for the other 3 drives and all was good so far.

I guess from here you could create any Raid system you want, but i used Raid 10 and ended up with 37188.3GB.

The Array is functional but the Syncing is taking forever. Only 26% complete in 48 hours.

Hopefully the memory upgrade will speed it up, once it arrives.

Storage / ls-qvl549 drive mapping problem

« Last post by gjunk on December 14, 2023, 01:05:38 PM »

I have an ls-qvl549.
Nas Nav ver 3.0.4
Firmware 1.75
I have 4 4T drives in Raid 5 at array1.
I have 3 users. admin, giga and guest.
I am logged in as admin.
The power light is blue and steady.
All 4 drive lights are green.
I have no messages.
I have created a share called bnas.
I have created another called share.
I can reach the setup and login at the web screen.
Nas Navigator2 shows LS-qvl549 in the upper window.
It shows LS_QVL/R5 Series in the lower window.
Drive (Raid 5) 0.0GB/11131.5GB (0.0%)
Workgroup is workgroup
When I select Menu Browse shares I get no response.
When I select Menu Map share I get an error message.
When I right click LS-QVL549 and select map share I get the same error message that follows.

Could not map the share. Create a folder named share before mapping the drive.

How do I get it to map a share?

Well, her we go again.

After my initial upgrade/experiment on my TS5400R to 4x 12TB back in Jan. 2019, i can confirm that i surpassed 16TB of storage.
My current 4x 12TB system has a formatted capacity of 22287.1Gb with RAID 10, and I am at a little over 21TB used.

I am going to upgrade to 4x 20TB WD RED PRO drives in a RAID 10 again for a total of 40TB of storage.

The old 4x12TB will not be going to waste.
They are going to upgrade my Off-premise TS5400R in a RAID 0 to get me 48TB of storage.
Yes i know that a RAID 0 is not safe, but it is only there to be the secondary backup to my main RAID 10 backup.

I am also upgrading the memory of both TS5400R to 4GB.
Thank you Sid8tive for that info.

It may take a little while before i get this done, but i will post the resulting success.....or failure of this upgrade.

Guidelines and more / Re: LS210D and Windows 11 Sync Center

« Last post by csimmons32@live.com on December 07, 2023, 07:07:19 PM »

While it isn’t the “file synchronization” that I imagined, the folks at Buffalo Tech Support did guide me to a solution that works.  Check out NovaBackup.  It has solved my problem.  That said, I do intend to figure out what Windows Sync Center can do as well.  If I ever solve that puzzle, I will share that here.

Storage / Re: BuffaloNAS.com registration fails with Linkstation LS520D. Router is BT Hub 5

« Last post by bobstar_fr on December 06, 2023, 12:05:02 AM »

HI
I have exactly the same problem as you with the same symptoms and the same effects since the name of my LS-520D was removed from Buffalonas.com due to prolonged inactivity.
When I want to re-register with a new name (or the old name), I have the same result as you.
After numerous discussions with the technical service, the problem is not resolved for access via "Buffallonas.com/NAS Name".

Fortunately, I have 2 fallbacks for communicating via the Internet with my LS-520D.
I would like to point out that via the local network (LAN) everything works very well.

- 1st solution: Access the NAS via “NOIP.com Domain:NAS port number” by creating a domain name on NOIP.com (It’s free). This remedies a dynamic IP of the Internet box.
- 2nd solution: Access the NAS via “Internet Box IP:NAS port number” provided that the Internet box has a fixed IP.
