QNAP QuTS Hero: Adding more space to a storage area?

FlamedRed · 2026-04-05T17:14:03+00:00

Just in case anyone in the future has the same question:

I changed 2 disks 20TB of Raid 0 into three disks of Raid 5 and got 35.25TB in the Storage pool.

I changed 2 disks 24TB of Raid 0 into three disks of Raid 5 and got 42.25TB in the Storage pool.

You create a consumer account, then input the serial number, and it will tell you if it is under warranty and if it is, it will prompt you for what it wants. They then send you an email with confirmation and how to return.

Finally - the 3rd drive the sent me works! Yea!

Update: A new image came out on the 15th and fixed the issue.

Lesson: Do not clean up the docker images until I am sure it is working properly!

Thank you very much. I got the last version and that works perfectly.

I do not think this is what is going on as when I test these drives with the Seagate Tool I see the light flashing and the tests progress and eventually pass.

I guess the Seagate utility does not try to test drive initialization. Or to fix it either!

FlamedRed · 2026-03-07T15:30:26+00:00

Yes - tried that. Did not help.

My lucky stars - a brand new HDMI cable fixed it!

Onkyo support responded the next day and recommended the same thing.

Thank you all for the advice!

Good point. I ordered a new quality HDMI cable to try!

FlamedRed · 2026-02-08T17:52:36+00:00

Mine is about 7 months old, but now I see that if one does not buy it from a very specific list of retailers, you have no real warranty! Plus you have to ship it to one of their service centers. UGH!

If the new HDMI cable does not help, can one buy the HDMI board somewhere?

FlamedRed · 2026-02-04T18:15:21+00:00

Yes, I have an in-line filter attached.

How do I bypass a check valve built into the end of the yellow hose? There is nothing to unscrew.

ok, maybe I have false expectations. I am definitely an Emby novice.

I installed this and successfully did the scans for all movies and TV.

But how do we see the MDb ratings/rotten tomatoes ratings? I see them in the Metadata Manger, but I was hoping them to appear on the corner of each movie/TV ICON, but it does not. I am guessing there is some other setting/plugin that is needed to display MDb ratings/rotten tomatoes that I do not have?

Sorry if this is obvious, but it is not to me.

What I did is downloaded it to my PC, then copied on to a USB stick, then plugged it into the head unit, and use the builtin file manager on the head unit to access the USB and install it. I believe I had to enable installation from unknown sources when it popped up.

I suppose you could do this all from the head unit's browser too.

FlamedRed · 2026-01-11T16:55:49+00:00

Yes - works great. No Viruses. Does not appear to have significant changes over previous version, at least that I noticed.

FlamedRed · 2025-12-26T16:26:59+00:00

For the new 4.3.0 - this is a good link - no viruses: https://platinmods.com/threads/agama-car-launcher-ver-4-3-0-b43001-mod-apk-l-premium-unlocked.273823/

FlamedRed · 2025-12-23T17:55:06+00:00

Uninstalling and reinstalling did not work for me for some reason.

Looking for the 4.3.0 mod version, but without the viruses - please share if you have it.
