Synology users consider yourself warned and make sure you have a complete backup.

Brilliant.

Jason - have you suffered this problem yourself? 

For any other Synology owners who may become affected, know that you should be able to just move your drives to the replacement unit and log right in. I have always ensured that drives go back in the same order as before, but don;t know if this is a requirement.

there must be an "auto truncate" setting somewhere - not hard to track down though, just append this

Thanks for highlighting this, I have a Synology 1515+ with the dodgy Intel processor.  Synology are apparently replacing failed units under the warranty program, not sure I' d want to swap out a bomb that had already exploded for another ticking time bomb    The current party line from Synology appears to be that they haven't seen higher than normal failure rates with these processors - guess what, I'm not going to believe this.

I'm about to move from my home office to a new external office - so it's time to switch this NAS from home to business, I have cloud backup for business so I'm protected against NAS failure.  So it's time to with to a QNAP for Flac/Tidal/Roon - anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks.
