    Anyone here using a LUN+iSCSI for Music/Photo libraries on a NAS?

    Recently upgraded the i5 Mac mini I'd been using as a music & photo server to an M1 model. One of the things I lost was hard drive space -- went from 2TB to 256GB on the new model (great price on it, couldn't pass up the deal). Right now I have an SSD plugged into a Thunderbolt port that holds...

    QNAP/NAS Will Not Launch FCP

    I recently swapped my drives and SSD into a brand new QNAP (TVS-872XT). The previous QNAP failed and would not power up. After transferring the SSDs I installed the firmware (4.5.4.1892), rebooted, and then installed all eight drives. Every program works with the exception of Final Cut Pro. If I...

    QNAP Firmware Update and Thunderbolt 3 (TB3)

    If you are using a QNAP via TB3 and plan to update to Firmware Version 5.0.0.1828, please be aware there is a bug. QNAP is aware of it. Unfortunately, the tech support person I spoke to, prior to updrading to V5.0 did not inform me of the bug. When I called back, a different support person told...

    Very slow access to SMB and AFP shares

    As much as I love my new M1 Macbook Air, one thing that it has huge issues with is accessing shares on my Qnap server. I've setup both SMB and AFP shares, and they are slow, disconnect all the time, and generally are a huge pain. Pretty much unusable at times. My Windows 10 laptop has zero...

    Home Setting up NAS for iTunes Server

    I've just changed houses and am having trouble connecting my QNAP NAS to my home network. I'm using an Eero WiFi network, but I can't place the QNAP next to the Eero and plug it in directly (no room). The internet comes via GPON (fiber), then goes into an access point, which, in turn, is...

    NAS mount via launch daemon script - what else could be recreating mount? + Thunderbolt woes

    I've created a launch daemon (no KeepAlive, but RunAtLoad is true) that runs a script at boot time that essentially does this: mkdir /Volumes/homes /sbin/mount_nfs nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:/homes /Volumes/homes Background (why I've done this) 1) The users don't have to logon to the NAS separately. The...

    2 Macs - "best of both worlds" NAS / DAS - AFP vs NFS re permissions

    Our family has 2 iMacs and I want us to be able to use either one of them and have access to all of our files the same way as if they were on a local drive / DAS. So, I bought a QNAP Thunderbolt NAS (perhaps overkill ;-) because that's exactly one of the scenarios they advertise (having a NAS...

    QNAP M.2 SSD carrier board with 10GB NIC

    Not sure if anyone has seen this interesting piece of hardware from QNAP. It is the QM2-2P10G1T. The carrier holds 2 M.2 SSDs and QNAP sells separate models for NVME SSDs and SATA SSDs. Doesn't work except in QNAP NAS devices - but would be awesome if someone could hack it to work with Macs...

    Best ATV app for playing music from NAS?

    I use Infuse to play all my movies & TV shows from my QNAP NAS and it works brilliantly. Sadly, it doesn't offer a music playback capability. I can use QNAP's own QMusic app - but it's pretty clunky. I'm reluctant to set a Plex server capability up for just music. I know Plex can do movies...
