You are seeing the value of the blinking light. The light is just the drive activity light. The pro version of napp-it lets you build a drive map which would be even easier to use in a data center. HPE, Dell Lenovo etc have lights on the drives to tell you which are bad, off or failed. IF the...

Bloated to me might not be bloated for you. You might want jails, docker, VMs and all the apps that go with it. The more stuff that gets thrown in adds complications that could affect the operation of the NAS software, this is advertised as a NAS system after all. What suffers when these...

Thanks for your reply Gea. I found my problem. When one follows instructions too closely one tends not to think. I had followed your instructions to the letter but forgot to add this 2nd virtual disk to the OI VM settings. It just came to me as I sat down to see if there was an answer to my...
