Hello, I'm currently stuck with a QNAP NAS appliance (don't buy this !) I have a Sernet Samba 4.5 as an AD controller and my QNAP have a Samba 4.0.25 (latest update) All i want is to join the QNAP to the AD, the QNAP will act as the file server. The join in the official way is okay but the uid / gid mapping is f*cked. I tried almost everything, change the idmap,

Hi, Another beginner question. I spend hours trying to find the solution for how to configure winnut properly but I' struggling to make it work. I want my QNAP NAS TS-231 to work as a master and send signal to the PC to shut it down during power outage. I configured QNAP properly (like this: http://geekbeat.tv/qnap-adding-external-devices-qnap), but I don't know what to do next. I work

Hi, I'm considering buying a QNAP TS-212 NAS and I wonder if this device is powerful enough to run dovecot too (there is a pre-built dovecot package available from QNAP)? The main goal would be that my mail is stored centralized on the NAS, where I can access it from multiple systems without ending up with mail scattered over each system (which is exactly what is happening now due to the

Hi folks, I am having a problem rsyncing files with accents in the names. I've seen similar problems reported a few times before in the archives but they didn't seem to be referring to exactly the same problem as what I have, and I'm not good enough at Linux to solve my problem by generalising from the information there: sorry. Anyway, my specific details are this. I am running rsync

I've searched for quite some time and read the FAQ, but to no avail. I have a UPS connected to a NAS. Unfortunately I have to specify every single client IP (ups slave), because the stupid NAS system (QNAP) does not allow me to set a /16 or /24. Changing the config files manually does not work either, because the service won't come up anymore. (One has to love QNAP at this point.) Thus I

I'm trying to install Dovecot onto my QNAP NAS. I apologise for this! It means I'm not working in a normal environment, and don't (necessarily) have the normal range of tools available (or the most up to date version of those tools). It seems that 2.0.21 works (at least, as far as I've tested), but 2.1.17 and 2.2.4 won't start up their child services. I've got the

Hello, I am running samba 4.0.25 on a qnap NAS as a Domain Controller. NETLOGON share is available, but it is not possible anymore to execute the logon.bat. QNAP support cannot help (only information is to reinstall firmware) - how can I set the default permissions to this share? Karl

Hi, this is my first foray in samba (and newsgroups) so go easy :) I'm trying to map a network drive from a windows 7 pro client to a QNAP NAS: net use s: \\qnap\share I've posted on several forums and got good advice but the problem remains. Rather than repost all the detail, please see my original posts: http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=185&t=74639

Hello, first of all - thanks for creating tinc! It has become an invaluable tool for me to securely join a multitude of servers and clients through a VPN. Today, I was trying to compile Tinc 1.0.12 on my newly purchased x86 Linux-based QNAP TS-239 Pro NAS device (Kernel 2.6.30.6). The configure-script finishes without error (see attached config.log). However, configure.status fails with

Hi Charles, The NAS is a QNAP 659-II It appears that NUT is installed: http://www.qnap.com/en/index.php?sn=4059 http://www.qnap.com/en/?lang=en&sn=940 http://docs.qnap.com/nas/en/index.html?ups_settings.htm -----Original Message----- From: Charles Lepple [mailto:clepple at gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, 22 June, 2013 00:47 To: Massimo Savazzi Cc: nut-upsuser at lists.alioth.debian.org

DV suggested that we document some libvirt setups using shared storage. I'm not a fan of NFS, so I wrote some blog posts on how to use iSCSI in the context of libvirt + KVM. There is of course more than one way todo things, so I've outlined a couple of different options. One completely manual command line approach using tgtadm on the iSCSI server:

I have a QNAP TS-410 NAS on which I have some CIFS shares. I'm trying to copy some biggish files from a Lunix machine to the CIFS share on the NAS but have runs into problems. I've created files of various sizes and I've found that I can copy files up to size 1024MB to the CIFS share on the NAS, but when I try to copy anything larger than that the copy command hangs forever and nothing

Hi All, I use Dovecot and XMail on a QNAP TS-509 NAS. QNAP has combined the two into a package they call XDove. Everything seems to be working great except for one thing. When Dovecot retrieves the mail from XMail it is not removing it from XMail. It is leaving a copy on XMail. Is there an option I can set in Dovecot so it will delete the mail message from XMail when it retrieves it.

A couple of questions about the above: 1. In their respective man pages, both refer to "NTFS alternate data streams?, however they are not limited to just NTFS ADS are they? Other file systems may also use ADS (such as Mac OS?s various fs) 2. What is the essential differences and similarities between the two? From the man pages it appears that: - xattr has default prefix (which can be

Hi, Has anyone managed to get a Plexus UPS talking to their NAS. I've followed the excellent instructions here http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=182 <http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=182&t=35970&start=0> &t=35970&start=0 but I'm not there yet. When I manually start upsdrvctl without the UPS plugged in I get [~] # /usr/bin/upsdrvctl start Network UPS

Hello, Been thinking about either purchasing one of these or building my own. This will be for home use. I was looking at the QNAP 451+ or building (DYI NAS) one with FreeNAS. I also found that CentOS has a NAS project. Not sure which way to go. They would cost about the same. One would be proprietary and the other open source. I like open source. This for home use. Thought I'd start out

I have been trying to help Luca on the QNAP forum since I have the same NAS. It reports smbd version 4.7.12. I have not had any issues, but I am in a Mac/Linux environment only. In Luca?s case, he is using NFS (not sure what version) on his Mac and I initially thought that maybe it was initiating change notifications somehow. Possible?

Hi all, Is there a way to control the default DOS attributes stored in the user.DOSATTRIB value? I'm using a QNAP NAS device (running Samba) that seems to create files that have the 'hidden' DOS attribute set by the user.DOSATTRIB value as a default. The NAS device's smb.conf has the 'store dos attributes' option set to yes and each of the 'map hidden',
