Cross your fingers, but you're probably fine unless you have 2 drives completely drop out of the pool. Fast and dirty calcs say 15+ hours for 6 TB over gigabit.

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
It's a few days later because work interrupted me. Got all the data copied in ~12 hours, though one of my old drives indeed failed during the process. Swapped the new drives into the old NAS, imported the pool, relinked my mount points, and everything seems good to go, beyond a brief moment of panic when the NAS failed to boot because I had accidentally bumped the SATA cable to the system pool SSD.
All in all, not too bad. Now I can use the remaining functional old drives for some kind of longer-term backups. Appreciate the advice, guys.

I have a QNAP TS251, pretty old at this point but still works ok. One of the drives in my RAID1 configuration is sprouting bad sectors and SMART warnings. Can I just physically replace the bad drive and the RAID1 configuration will automatically copy over without data loss? I mean, I guess this is the exact purpose of RAID1, just never actually replaced a bad drive in one.

Yes, should be that easy if you haven't done it yet, having used QNAPs for a number of years.

I did it over the weekend, thanks for the response. Pretty seamless rebuild, took about 5 hours.

Just ordered my first proper NAS, a Synology ds1522+ and 2 * 24gb drives. Put it through my business to reclaim the 20% sales tax.
I was using a Mycloud EX2 ultra which I picked up second hand. It's technically a nas and ran Plex ok, but I could never set up the torrent feature so still used a desktop client.
I'll use this one for Plex, bitorrent and hopefully a roon server

So I've got my Synology Nas and installed a qbitorrent container.
I can access it through the webui but I want to save the files to a different location eg they either go in NotAutisticServer/Media/Films or NotAutisticServer/Media/TV but it's set up as NotAutisticServer/docker/qbittorrent/config/downloads
If I try to use a differnet path then the download doesn't start

I don't have experience with whatever OS you're running, but it sounds like the container doesn't have access to the larger file system. There should be a way to mount your target directory inside the container.

Not familiar with snyology but on my qnap Nash using containers I have to set up bind points for file system
Like the config is /config on the container pointing to /Nas/folder/config
enterprise drives are stupid expensive. I'm not a super fan of the current arc of freenas -> truenas (linux vs freebsd) but that's a personal jihad of mine. If you are looking to run a dedicates nas, and use zfs- which are both good ideas then they are probably the most sensible option of the open source BYO options out there.
Been using it for years. A bit of a learning curve if you were a total linux & NAS newbie like I was, but definitely worth it IMO.
Just migrated from TrueNas Core to Scale after disovering that NextCloud had stopped working a while ago. Surprisingly painless process, though I think I might have lost my Plex database despite trying to back it up.
Edit: I managed to retain the important part, which was the watched status of the libraries. My "added recently" lists are borked, but that doesn't bother me.

That's the only thing holding me back at this point. I'm still working on my Router/Firewall/Adguard/Plex setup, but I was also going to build a new NAS for myself. ( Currently have the Drobo 5n ) Then I remembered how close Cyber Monday is. heh

You made me go look. Still going strong. Obviously I've replaced drives and such, but still seems to be working great.UNAS Pro - Ubiquiti Store

So my qnap ts 451 died friday, been chugging along for 9 years. Turns out, there is a LPC clock bug in the celeron cpu that causes any device using that particular chip to fail. I guess I was lucky that it lasted so long. Funny enough I was able to get it up and running again using a 100 ohms resistor and two jumps to connect the lpc pin to a ground pin. Anyway, I'm in the market for a new NAS, not sure sure I want to go prebuilt or build my own. Any thoughts on truenas vs unraid?
