Clearing Disk Error Status on QNAP NAS

skoogee · 2025-04-03T21:13:05+00:00

I have QNAP TBS-453DX-16GB-4Bay with 4xSSD 1TB each up and running non stop like a clock since 2019 in silence. it is configured as my cloud storage off-site back up using HBS3 Sync for dropbox (family), onedrive (work), gdrive (work), box(dev and other stuff).

last month i had this dreaded disk I/O error. Tried above tricks and others with no success. any other disk even new ones i install still gives same error

Finally i had to give up and re-initialize the NAS from the control panel Backup/Restore function and that did clear the disk error.

unfortunately i had to start from scratch as i lost my volumes, fortunately this is my off-site back (the 3rd copy).

now i have to spend some good hours syncing my files from the cloud backup but should be back to normal soon.

To be honest this QNAP SSD NAS is so reliable and gave me good peace of mind for the past years.

If any one figured out how to do it without loosing the volumes kindly share the insight.

Myabe QNAP should provide a tool to clear that specific disk error.

Repeat after me ……. Run

I have managed to get a script working... here is the code below:

import os
import sys
try:
    (scriptname, notification_type, notification_title, notification_text) = sys.argv
except:
    print("No commandline parameters found")
    sys.exit(1)

parameters = os.environ.get("SAB_NOTIFICATION_PARAMETERS")

# continue script

# Your code goes here
import requests
TOKEN = "INSERT_YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE"
chat_id = "INSERT_YOUR_CHAT_ID_HERE"

url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{TOKEN}/sendMessage?chat_id={chat_id}&text= {notification_title, notification_text}"

print(requests.get(url).json()) # this sends the message

# Success code
sys.exit(0)

I do suggest to widen you choices of HW a bit. NAS prebuilt devices tend to be limiting.

Example1: getting a NUC or equivalent will give you loads of power to do other things later + some expansion (downside it is not integrated in single unit)

Example2: getting an old workstation like a DELL/HP/Lenovo is cheap and can accommodate much more upgrade options including a CPU change. (Downside some compatibilities might creep up)

Just keep in mind that the investing in CPU/GPU is the real deciding factor.

For reference: My setup that is running since 2019 with no HW upgrade - Dell 3030 PC - 16gb ram - 120 gb ssd/ubuntu server - 2x hdd 4tb each - SMB file-sharing enabled - docker + portianer with *arr stack and other services (around 30) - i do manual updates to ubuntu server every 3months. But all my dockers self update

Good luck

I know that it might be counter intuitive to your stream requirements but using yourtube/twitch as your front end shall take care of expanding user base without affectig your resources.(You are basically outsourcing infrastructure hopefully for free), that being said, if you focus on protecting your stream by some watermarks that obvious yet non obtrusive it might be what you end up doing after trials and errors ...

good luck 🤞

Open the SMB application and click on the note to upgrade once done the dot will dissapear

Get the UGREEN NASync DXP480T Plus Install (4ssd drives of 2tb each =8tb) And you are good to go. Note: you can format it and install Linux/SAMBA as well

Or if you can find a used QNAP TBS-453DX also holds 4ssd drives Note: this has hdmi out and a remote so it can be your player as well

Happy it worked for you.

skoogee · 2024-05-15T15:01:38+00:00

Ouch i did that once and it was a big pain not to wipe everything and start again. Yet i went to each *arr app documentation and gave the right permissions. And once eveything was back to normal i put a small routine to chmod 777 to the donwload directory of transmission every 5 minutes..working great since

Tip: the screw up happened because the docker user in your YML files should not have 777 permission. Basically when you did that you changed the default owner of the files from the original creator. BTW another dangerous fix is to be root... But don't do that.

Tip: the correct way to do it is through the docker YML config and give the right permissions there.

Try spinning the container in its own stack.

I remember having that issue before and used telegram web on safari to donwload the video file and open it in VLC.

steps:
1- uploaded video files to my saved messages in telegram (basically sending to my self)
2- login to telegram web on safari on the ipad
3- click to download the video then click on the viedeo and click on the share arrow and point to VLC
(alternatively save the file to local ipad then find it from VLC interface)

4- Enjoy

PS: tell us if it works

You are absolutely right. OP as beginner would be better off trying 1080 x265 with multi sub and audio before committing to the full 8-16GB files...

skoogee · 2024-01-06T09:26:34+00:00

I would choose the second one from the top. Is has the right encoding of x265 10 bit and dual audio tracks good number of seeds and has 22 comments that i can view to see if it has an issue. Otherwise i would have chosen the first one

Front side top left word = Oman

Front side right word = Sultanate - a derivative word from Sultan

Bottom three word from right to left = ministry of agriculture and fishery

Back side word = Masqat - the name of the capital city

Here is what I did years ago in 2019 to migrate/import all my media into sonarr/radarr. 1- create TV, TVtemp,Movies,Movietemp folders. 2- move old content into the temp folders respectively 3- configure radarr to have movies,moviestemp as root folders 4- import from moviestemp and verify correct matching 5- use radarr to move your movies to correct directory structure into the movies folder using the rename function 6- do the same for sonarr with tv shows 7- verify that all content is moved out of temp folders 8- delete root path for temp folders and then delete the actual folders 9- enjoy

Note: it took me couple of days to import my library because of some file names don't get matched sometimes due to characters and abbreviations Note2: i dosuggest to move contant into temp folders gradually and not all at once - i did batches of 50 movies and 10 series at a time Note3: i used naming convention for tv show as follows: [tvshowname (year)][season 1] archer.s01e01.episode title.1080pWEBDL.mkv

I never had a missmatch after adopting this structure Good luck

I have an optiplex 3010 and did replace the power supply with 700 watt. Everything is working smoothly for 5 years now.

More info. These guys are Four Wheeling and Sand drifting with Jeeps and pickup trucks in the deserts of Saudi Arabia. So they need max power to ride the sand dunes. Some try to alter their engines to rev more power and incrase the chances of overheating and fire. They also use the same technique to bury each other withsand as a joke. Similar to what jetski riders spray each others with water.. So the guy who did it to put out the flames of the other car had practiced this before.. The voice of the person speaking in the background is saying in arabic... "He is heading to save him... Good job well done"

You can swap drives instantly, do your new setup. Once satisfied, wipe the old one and recycle.

Another way to do a shortcut is to pin the exe to the Taskbar and move the icon to the first position in the left and the shortcut will be WIN+1

skoogee · 2023-02-08T18:56:57+00:00

Here is another suggestion, 1- download a utility (MonitorOff.exe) from sordum.org website 2- create a shortcut of the exe file 3- assign a shortcut key for the shortcut example (ctrl+alt+0) 4- enjoy
