Hi suisei & all - hmm, whatever it is… It is at least slightly non-deterministic and so results in an unexpected user experience. Best, -C.

And now for the promised write-up: Have an external USB storage of at least 4 GB in size formatted as plain, off-the-shelf NTFS Log into the system by either telnet or ssh Check /e-data/ for content with: ls -latr /e-data/ Plug the external USB storage into the front-side USB socket: it should be auto-mounted by the system…

Hi @Mijzelf & all - I got bold and blew the swap file up to 10 GB by: dd if=/dev/zero of=/e-data/[…]/swapfile bs=1M count=10000 for the next attempt. Et voilà: root@NASigoreng:~# tail -f /tmp/cschiefner.txt resize2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) Resizing the filesystem on /dev/md0 to 3906344448 (4k) blocks. Begin pass 1 (max =…

Hi @Mijzelf, after having deactivated the two standard swap spaces and activated the new 1 GB one on the external USB SSD, I invoked e2fsck and resize2fs in a manner a bit more chatty: /usr/sbin/e2fsck.new -fv /dev/md0 and: nohup /usr/sbin/resize2fs -p /dev/md0 2>&1 > /tmp/cschiefner.txt & And: tail -f /tmp/cschiefner.txt…

Hi @Mijzelf, thanks a lot for your comprehensive answer! What's my goal? To make and have things generally better than before. :-) But this idea got killed by your second sentence already - which is totally fine, as I wasn't sure about at all in the first place. The remaining explanations, of course, helped me to gain…

Addition to my previous post as I have just found out by looking at /etc/init.d/rc.shutdown : /sbin/swapoff`cat /proc/swaps|awk '{print $1}'|grep -v Filename` terminates the two swap spaces, I believe. The swap space on the external USB could then be prepared according to e.g. - but how to eventually activate it?…

Hi @Mijzelf, thanks a bunch for your comprehensive answer and hints - that I am able to digest only now, as other pressing technical issues have come up in the meantime. Wrt. “Resizing manually” I believe you are referring to: , right? And in case telnetd got never deactivated - I initially activated it around the box's…

Hi Thilo, what you also could do is to “bury” this old sweet heart behind e.g. a Raspi as a SAMBA proxy for protocol conversion. That Raspi could then also be acting as a web proxy to the NAS' GUI as TLS versions of the NAS web server and used web client are becoming increasingly incompatible. If - besides the stated…
