#synology will auf meinem System einfach mal deinstallieren, wie es beliebt?
Und ich stimme durch Weiternutzung des Paketzentrums zu? Ja ähm ohne Paketzentrum ist das Gesamtpaket quasi nicht benutzbar.Das finde ich ja nicht so nett und war beim Kauf auch nicht vereinbart. Wo kann ich das Teil zurückgeben?

Yesterday I replaced one of the two 4TB HDDs in my #Synology #DS218 #NAS, I checked before and found it is #hotswap, so I just removed the first #HDD and waited what would happen.
As soon as I removed the first 4 TB HDD from the NAS it started beeping every 3 seconds. I then went to my computer, checked what was the reason, there was an alarm "degraded storage" and a button to stop the beeping. It was only an alarm it seems, so not an error, the currently running #borgbackup just continued.
So I took the frame with the 4 TB HDD, removed the HDD and put in the new 8 TB HDD I bought. Then I went back to the NAS, slided in the frame, checked on the computer screen and selected "repair storage pool", it asked if I wanted to add the new HDD and started cloning the RAID 1.
At that time the NAS was 2.44 TB storage used, which translates to about 70%. I the morning (about 9h later) the process was finished. I then started an extended #SMART check, which is still running now and also started a manual "Data Scrubbing", which should check that all data is mirrored, this process is already finished.
So as soon as the SMART check is done I will replace the second HDD and will then have the new storage capacity of 8 TB.
I plan to use the two HDDs in external cases for another fan less computer which I want to used for my #Nextcloud on a #Docker based home server.
So the point of this post is to say how easy to use those #Synology #NAS are. Great and easy to use product.
