Now I'm looking through its control panel, trying to tell it to use the new disk. I'm not entirely sure I need to do this. #Synology isn't very clear about that. -

Particularly the way each app's storage is somehow separate from the others _and_ they aren't segregated by user.
I really want just a networked file system. I can store my grandchild photos under "/myname/Pictures" and put my documents and spreadsheets under "/myname/Documents"; my .oga, .ogg, and .flac files can go under "/myname/Music" ... with permissions.
Then if I wanted to use their audio streaming app, once I logged in, it would know where my collection is, and would play only my music. Naturally, there would be a "/public" with subdirs for Music, Documents, Photos, etc. The apps would give the choice of showing / playing /public files or not doing so.
The default upload / download / display / play would of course be private (user account only). With a checkbox, the user could upload files to subdirs of /public, and view / play / download files from subdirs of /public.
(NOTE: there is a filesystem exposed to my file browser [in my case, I'm using Krusader and SMB4K], but it does not show the files available to the apps.) -

For example, If I upload a photo of #GS3 (to "/photo" AKA the photos folder) I don't necessarily want to share it with everyone in the house. I should have to intentionally select "share", otherwise, it should be handled in a more private-ish manner. I think #Synology made some bad decisions. -

But being able to play the same song on every device I own when I'm in reach of the home #Wi-Fi is a powerful attractant.
Now that it is working again, let's see how long it takes them to fill 7TiB of space. -

They haven't been using it for 7 months (6 months while I was in #Sac, almost a month since I returned). -

What is the advantage of #Drobo compared with a standard #Synology or #Qnap NAS (or even an #Odroid HC-1)? -
Kev Quirk (kev)'s status on Thursday, 12-Jul-2018 18:48:51 UTC Kev Quirk So, 30 minutes after installing and my BRAND NEW #UbuntuMate system is ready to go. Literally, everything is configured and all my apps are installed - my new install script worked a treat and it saved a tonne of time. ?
Just need to wait for all my files to sync from my #Synology and I'm done. Goddam I love #Linux!
