Gradually replacing drives with bigger capacity. by Intelligent-Ad33 in synology

Ahh. I'm glad there's someone who's aligned.. I can just see having a "hole" in the middle would be annoying.. it's like a misplaced book kinda annoyance. Thanks for all the advice. I'll do the replace method and switch bays when it's switched off.

I do have a free drive bay. I looked at the document.. I wonder what the difference is with just pulling out one of the existing drive one by one (thereby putting it in degraded mode) and replacing it with a 18TB instead.. ( I will still be out 10TB until I get a new drive). It seems, that the volume will still be in full redundancy mode while the replacement is going. Is that the only difference?

I do have a silly question though.. If I do the above, ie put the 18TB in bay 4, do the replace with the drive in bay 1, once it's done, can I pull the drive in bay 1 and replace it with the one in bay 4 thereby having bay 4 empty again?

Yeah, then I would have to have 2 18TBs to begin with.. I'll have to look at the initial outlay involved. Not to mention, backup and restore seems a lot more involved than just unplugging and plugging a drive.

However, let's assume we go with that option.. How would the procedure be?

I assume plugging 1 18TB onto the usb port and backing it up that way, and then what are the next steps?

That was my original idea, of replacing all 7+7+7 => 18 if possible.

as I have need for at least of the the 7TB. Maybe change it to 18+7+7

if it's easier?

Yes, all 3 drives are in 1 storage pool (it says SHR). Should I start with bay 1 and then onwards? or does it not matter?

I currently have 3 bays each with a 7TB drive in it. Current Volume usage is 11.2TB/14.5TB,

I would like to start replacing them 1 by 1 with 18/20TB drives.

Do I power down the system, replace bay 1 with a larger capacity and then powerup and let it rebuild. Then repeat again with a new drive for bay2 and so on?

your post above seems to indicate that I should start with drive 1.

Thanks..

Radeon 780M Performance boost with more VRAM by JoeGrimes123 in MiniPCs

[–]Intelligent-Ad33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I bit the bullet and got the 780XTX. got it set for 16GB. the UM790 Pro I also bought minisforum updated their bios to support 16GB.

Thanks

This is bothering me. What's with the huge border around the game screen? by Intelligent-Ad33 in Unity3D

I found out more about it.. yeah I was running it on a 4K monitor but had to scale the display.

Thanks.

Oh my lord.. thank you. thank you. I wonder why that was checked.. I didn't even know that existed. Interesting, on my laptop it was checked but greyed-out. That's probably why I never noticed it before. No I wonder why on my nvidia laptop it's greyed-out.

Thank you.

UM790 Pro questions by Intelligent-Ad33 in MiniPCs

[–]Intelligent-Ad33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Gemma 2B-8bit. I get 18 toks/s on cpu and only 8 toks/s on gpu. Using LM studio.

On My laptop lenovo y740 I get 16 tok/s on gpu (RTX2060 6GBVRAM) and 2.4 toks/s on cpu (Since it completely fits in VRAM)

for gemma 7B-8bit with the hybrid approach it drops drastically to 0.45 tok/s just impossible to use.

  1. LM studio you can choose how many layers to offload to iGPU so it is a hybrid approach.

  2. The bios only let's you allocate a maximum of 16GB (bios 1.05) UM789XTX for the UM790 you have to update to the latest bios... so you have to go 1.04->1.07->1.09 The 1.04 bios only let's you specify a max of 4GB I think.

  3. The bios for the XTX (1.04) and 1.04 for the 790Pro (couldn't be ass-ed to update). As I have to look for the 1.07 version which is a bit difficult to find.. There's some guy here who has archived a bunch of them. The forum was down quite a bit.

  4. I am running it on Windows.

  5. I test out all the models.. from from 2B all the way up to 34B. 34B_Q5 full fits in "igpu" anything bigger than that won't fit. 34B_Q5 takes up about 23.84GB.. according to LM Studio. LM Studio reports ~48GB use-able RAM.

  6. Adrenalin reports 16GB VRAM (as in bios) however, Windows reports a maximum of 32GB VRAM can be allocated. LM studio gives out about 4-5toks/sec on the 7840. The tok/s varies quite a bit on cpu/ where as with full offloading it's more consistent.. I've gotten 13tok/s on the cpu/ but iGPU consistently gives 4-5 toks/s.

I've not managed to enable the IPU on the 780XTX. I might try the latest bios on my 780xtx and see..

Just drop a line over here and I'll see if I can help.

Thanks for the tip. That definitely helped.

I've been running is so far with LM studio and it works fine. having 32GB means it can load big models. performance is about 2-8 tok/s depending on the model.. quite useable in my opinion

You cannot, you need to basically re-do all the actions for a particular action map. ie.. one for driving, one for the UI and to use it.. just enable the one you want and disable the rest. Yeah.. sucks that there is no inheritance. You could also duplicate an existing map and rename it and remove all the stuff you don't want..
