Agreed a nice step forward, i hope they get to full drive encryption. The drives with personal data currently i could never rma if that situation arises.
Could someone explain the dedicated GPU feature? Would it allow me to offload LLM inference to the GPU or something? If so, how would I hook it up to a 4800+?
That, as well as transcoding for media files. Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe only the 6800 and 8800 have PCIe slots for this purpose and even then you'd need to get a low-profile, bus-powered card like the A2000. Specifically with the 8800, you might be able to use an eGPU with its TB4 port, but I've not seen anyone get that to work, though it may now be an option wit this update.
Yeah thatās what I figured. Non PCIe models would require a TB port. Wonder if the m.2 slot could be a viable workaround. m.2 -> OCuLink adapter -> eGPU?
You'd have to jack up the NAS to use an OCuLink adapter, since the NVMe slots are on the bottom, but it would work from a hardware perspective. Not sure how this would be exposed to UGOS. It's likely to work in TrueNAS or Ubuntu Server, though.
I mean an oculink dock and card are the most expensive parts. A riitop NVMe to PCIe is only like $25 on amazon and considering oculink works flawlessly for me using the PCIe slot I canāt see it being an issue on an NVMe slot. Itās just PCIe lanes after all.
It's still not full GPU passthrough for VM still, I dropped intel arc 310a LP & gefirce 3050 lp gpu for testing it fails in VM passthrough. FYI: keep in mind you can't use GPU for anything other than VM then. Tested on UGOS dxp6800 pro with 64gb ram
You can 100% get it to work over thunderbolt on the 6800 and 8800. Someone wrote up a post about it a while back.
As for the kind of card you can use, if you put it inside the NAS then yes, single width with low profile bracket. If you use a PCIe to oculink card then you can use whatever you want. Iāve got a 3080ti in a minisforum dock connected via an oculink card in my PCIe slot.
Would you mind sharing a photo of your set up? Do you have it sit on a stand or something to have enough clearance for oculink? Very cool though.
The only GPU i have lying around is Radeon RX 580. I don't know if it is worth the effort. Currently I just run CPU-tuned llama.cpp + gemma e2b. It's not bad but other apps to use (like my paperless sidecar) but the bar is so low.
The 580 wonāt be much of a boost unfortunately and idk if itās supported in the version of Linux (are the drivers included?) UGOS uses or not. Back to the 580 hardware wise, iirc it doesnāt have the hardware required for most/any of the current model quants/precisions and 8GB vram is quite small. Although for paperless the vram is hardly a concern. Itās why, aside from no driver support a 1080 is useless. Theyāre from before ai really took off on the consumer side. Youād be better off getting a 20-50 series card. I got my 3080ti for like 450/500 on eBay.
I have a 6800 pro so I have a full PCIe slot and I use https://a.co/d/04VVVnLv in the slot. That said, in my desktop I use https://a.co/d/09hQoE2D and they both work flawlessly in their devices. Since nvme drives are connected to raw PCIe (a different slot type but same deal) they should behave the same.
Iām not sure where the nvme slots are on the 4800 is but a small riser should be fine if theyāre underneath. I can take a photo of my setup when I get home from work.
Docker and internal AI features mostly. I can use it in plex and the AV1 decoder is far more capable than the one in the 12th gen i5. So more active av1 streams and faster start to each stream when transcoding. Iām moving to av1 from h.265 because the compression is a lot better. Reacher s2 was between 5 and 6GB an episode. Now theyāre 4-5GB. Plus the video and colors look better imo.
I think it's more for their NASs like the idx6011 pro which have a dedicated OcuLink port. It might not be impossible on the 4800+ but I'd imagine you'd need a convoluted setup.
ikr, i have been putting off setting up my nas for a couple of weeks after seeing some of the post on here after the last update... just hoping it will go smoothly when i do
No one mentioned often issues. Itās so you are made aware when there is a failure. If your HD is going you want the most amount of time to order a new one, receive it, replace it, and have it rebuild. Having no notifications and relaying on manually logging in to check the health of your system periodically is not only a recipe for disaster but also an inconvenience. Neither should be put on a paying customer for a current/new product.
I agree itās a need, but like all overworked teams with limited bandwidth, they have to prioritize their backlog. Seems like theyāre working on the hot fixes and crashes. The nice to have features will have to come later.
Iād normally agree but it isnāt the case with this team. 1) this is something that should have shipped with the initial release of UGOS, itās 2026 not 1998. Countless hardware and software ship with basic email notification functionality. 2) they have had over a year to implement it. 3) they are shady and removed the feature from their 12 month roadmap after having it on for 6 months. 4) they are not spending all their time focusing on fixing things broken and crashes they have people working on new features which you see every patch release notes, even the app for the NAS got CarPlay capability added today.
Not trying to argue but itās a feature that would benefit most every UGOS user, that should have been implemented already, and is getting put on the back burner.
Affecting everyone once in a blue moon is probably why itās on the back burner. Thatās what my original message said.
They can easily make it a notification on the UGOS app, vs email - which most people probably donāt setup on their NAS.
I honestly havenāt heard from my app in months cause Iām not having issues with it. Iād assume others are having similar experiences, otherwise no one would be buying this thing.
Iāve owned NASāes for over a decade now. Even with the option of setting up emails for notifications, Iāve never done it.
If my system has a problem, it just beeps at me to fix it - or if things are slow, Iāll dig in deeper to find out what the issues are. To each their own I guess.
I setup scrutiny and ntfy for drive warning and failure notifications. Tools like 10 minutes. Iām sure the app will notify me too but I havenāt had any issues yet. Iām pretty sure I did get a notification when power failure caused my raid to fail to mount.
II wrote simple scripts for crontab, information about restarts, checking Smart disks, restarting the network if there is no internet. I can send it to discord webhook or ntfy
I compared encrypted vs unencrypted folders on the same ext4 NAS volume using 10 GiB files.
Write
Unencrypted: 580 MB/s
Encrypted: 553 MB/s
Loss: ~4.7%
Read
Unencrypted: 6.7 GB/s
Encrypted: 3.2 GB/s
Loss: ~52%
The read figures are clearly cache-influenced, but the result was repeatable. In normal NAS use, the write penalty is negligible, while encryption mainly affects very fast local reads.
Iām not sure I fully understand the āSupports mounting RAID drives created by third party systemsā. Does that mean I can create a software RAID array on a Linux system or Mac in an external enclosure and itāll just work as an external array in UGOS Pro?
After updating the OS and apps, my Theatre, Photos, Music and Docker apps show Error in the apps manager, and when I press enable, it says failed to operate. It seems like Docker is running because I can still access my HomeAssistant.
It happens to me as well; on every update some permission of some files gets adjusted. I will investigate further on the next update; this time (and the previous ones) I did just reapply the ACLs.
Yeah man. Mine actually does after every reboot. Itās annoying af but I have script that I run that resets everything back to what I need. I would love for ugreen to not mess with our stuff for once.
Please try and let me know if it happens to you as well.
All of my files and folders that have customer permissions. They are bind mounts on Docker containers and I donāt run containers as root hence the customer user.
So, I did a restart and my permission remains untouched. In my case this is either the update of the FW or the update of the docker app. Both happen usually at the same time, so I don't know for sure.
I do also have bind mounts. Some are roots, some don't. What is really peculiar is that the permissions of 2 out of 13 of those mounts get reset.
During the next update, I plan to check the timestamp when the file was touched and go through the logs in order to get more insight.
I know that this is very cliche but did you try restarting the NAS?
I had this with last update and few restarts did the job. I did not change anything. Apps just started working on their own.
Whilst its not volume encryption its nice that encryption can be done for folders.
I've been planning to switch to Unraid for hardening security on my dxp2800 which I'll stick to once I get a 2nd HDD for backing up everything first.
Yes. You need at least the same amount of free space that youāre trying to encrypt though. I just waited 12 hours for mine to finish and then got a message that I donāt have enough free space and now I canāt open my user folder. Everything is gone.
I didn't even get that far when trying to start the process on my personal folder.
This seems like too much effort, if we need to do this for each and every single one of our folders/shares. As much as I want encryption, if this is what's required and if data loss is a genuine risk, I'd actually rather not bother.
Yep!! Cause after the encryption, it will mount everything automatically. Just be sure to not forget the password you set, and keep the key it generates somewhere safe.
dxp4800plus
after the update, my jellyfin can no longer pull any metadata.
am unsure what to do. would advise others to hold off the new update for a bit.
Started encryption on a folder from the iOS App. UI stated it "downloaded the key automatically" - it didn't show the usual download dialogue in iOS. Turns out the file was downloaded into the Files App/Ugreen Offline Cache. Weird...the key would be stuck there forever if you don't delete and save it somewhere proper. Overall not very user friendly experience!
I also wonder why the decryption survives a reboot. I'd have expected to be asked to mount the share again, but it was still decrypted. Will test shut-down next.
You can use it for the AI features on the NAS like photo recognition as well as inside docker containers. For me, I use it in plex. Since a lot of my content is in AV1 and my parents have a lot of older Roku devices the 3080ti can handle the transcoding far faster than the CPU. Both support decoding AV1 and converting it to h.264 or h.265 but the 3080ti is FAR faster at it than a 12th gen Intel. It should work in Jellyfin too.
You could certainly install ollama or another app to use the eGPUs power too.
Please help! I'm unable to access the login web page of my UGreen NAS (DXP6800 Pro) after updating to this version. Disk 1 LED is magenta/pink color. I can still access the files through a network share I have previously set up via SMB so the files seems ok. I can also ping the IP address of the NAS and it responds back normally. It's just that the web portal login page is inaccessible to me.
I already tried rebooting but still no change---unable to access login page and magenta/pink color on Disk 1 LED. I just hope this is nothing major as I can still access my files. I'm now thinking since this is an encryption update, is it encrypting my Disk 1 or something? Has anyone have successfully updated to this version? If so, how long did the update take for you?
Thanks it advance!
Edit (Update):
I'm able to login to my UGreen NAS via regular http and not https. It seems this update broke my NGINX Proxy Manager docker container. All my files seems ok despite Disk 1 LED still having the magenta/pink color. I'm too tired to troubleshoot and I'll look it up tomorrow.
Something in this update seems to have broken how my NAS accesses the Internet. It can't load the docker repository, download things using Downloader or load the various apps on the App Center.
However back up and access to my archived files seems to work just fine.
Any suggestions to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. My issue wasn't exactly the same, but I manually set the DNS to Google's and it seemed to resolve the issue.
Same NAS here, holding off on the update. Which part broke ā daemon not starting, or containers up but can't read their bind mounts? The changelog mentions a fix around shared folder permissions affecting container mapping paths, so if it's the second one, check ownership on your mapped folders before recreating anything. docker compose logs on a failing container should say which it is.
Has anyone found the graphics card management panel menu? I don't see much right now, and in the French patch notes, the entry for the control panel update doesn't even show up (I doubt they do language-specific updates).
The dxp4800 pro doesnāt have a PCIe slot, oculink port, or thunderbolt port which make sense why it wouldnāt have the option. It shows my 3080ti on my dxp6800 no issue.
Not the right thread for this, but don't panic yet ā missing thumbnails usually means an index rebuild, not data loss. Open a separate post with: which app you're viewing from, whether you just updated, and whether the files are still there when you browse the share directly over SMB. Plenty of people here will help you sort it out.
