My F4-210 is taking upwards of 30 minutes to boot.
I have done a BTRFS filesystem check and there are no errors reporting.
The file system check suspiciously takes about the same time as my system takes to boot.
There are errors reported in dmesg though -
BTRFS error: could not find root 8
Research suggests these are not important.
However, could they be causing the volume to be flagged for check at boot time?
If so this needs to be modified so that this doesn't occur.

Re: Terra Master Long Boot Time.
I'm also interested to know how to disable the system check in every boot
Re: Terra Master Long Boot Time.
We will discuss this.
In addition, it should be noted that btrfs is not perfect in earlier linux kernel versions, and your model (210) series uses an older kernel. We recommend that you back up your data and then rebuild your BTRFS volumes to more stable EXT4 volumes.

Re: Terra Master Long Boot Time.
I have the following system: TNAS-F422;Kernel 5.15.59; TOS 5.1.24
I have one drive formatted with EXT4 and one with BTRFS. For me, the startup also always takes a long time...

Re: Terra Master Long Boot Time.
Perhaps you should have told me that when I first set up my TNAS - I chose BTRFS to support limiting the size of folders (which I can't get working anyway).TMzethar wrote: ↑24 Jan 2023, 10:23 We will discuss this.

Is there a tool to convert BTRFS to EXT4 that you could recommend - I don't have enough spare capacity on an external drive to backup 8TB
Re: Terra Master Long Boot Time.
Due to the different working principles, I don't think the different file systems can be converted to each other.

Re: Terra Master Long Boot Time.
You can prevent this error by following these steps:
1) Edit the /etc/fstab file (make sure to use sudo or root privileges) and locate the line that corresponds to your BTRFS volume.
2) Add the noauto option to the options column of the entry for your BTRFS volume. This will prevent the volume from being automatically mounted during boot.
3) Save the changes to the /etc/fstab file and reboot your system.
