Once I updated my system from TOS5.0.125 to TOS 5.0.126 my SSD cache was disabled on my 1 Volume and I am no longer able to create a new one with my SSD hard drive. It looks like the cache no longer exists. How can I restore or set up my SSD cache again?

Did SSD cache work normally on TOS 5.0.125? Is the SSD displayed in the hard drive list?

Unfortunately, the files are still not indexed under MediaIndex. I give him the folders of the video and audio files and press update and he finds 0 files, although video and audio files are present. After a restart, Media Index is deactivated again.

SSH into the NAS and use fdisk to delete all the partitions from the SSD you're using as cache, and then reboot the NAS. You should be able to re-enable the SSD cache. I had to do that a couple times after some of the previous updates..

After the update Plex won't start. Even if I go into the app centre and go to installed and enable it continuously says "Operation failed". I have both restarted and uninstalled plex and it still won't start

Im having this same issue now plex.... Operation failed.

Firstly thank you for including information about the issues that this release should fix.

Secondly, it would appear that despite having media indexing turned off, I am unable to see any apps in either recommended, app centre or installed, at least with the last version, I could see the apps I had installed, (But no others).

Thirdly this just not feel like a release version of TOS5, it feels like a beta version, with features not working, or missing. Instability etc. TOS4 was by no means perfect but it feels like a proper OS. With support from vendors such as PLEX.

I’m not sure how big the team developing TOS5 are, but there needs to be an investment in terms of getting the software sorted.

I had a similar issue with plex, If you are good with the linux shell - putty to the box and login. you will see that plex has zombie processes, use top to see the zombies listed in the top right as a count. Zombies(x) will be listed after the cpu and memory text graphs.
in the shell you can also check the processes being run use this command without spaces ps -aux | grep plex
This command above will show the plex services as defunct in the shell and you will know that you will be unable to start plex.

I would export your DB and Preferences.xml prior to trying this process, so you recover after the reinstall.

The fix was :
I could never get the Plex as a Scheduled task to run on TOS-5, I think it has something to do with the NTP Server that I selected, I'm not using the NAS as an NTP but I point it to my local firewall. I get a timed out message when trying to setup a scheduled task, I would remove that task if you have it setup.

1. remove the application and reboot (to kill the zombies processes). You cant kill them or end them for some reason, I tried 20 different methods (Kill and Killall ext...) to stop them.

2. once the system is back up reinstall then it should start.


This worked for me.
The TOS 5.0.126 (x.86) is Released for Update - worked fine for me so far - still pending tests but the files are in the correct place and services are online and seem to be working well. ( Model:F5-422 w/8gb ram)

Yes and Yes. The SSD cache was up and running fine until I upgraded the firmware this morning. Now it's set back to disabled and no longer gives me an option to setup the SSD from the hard drive list for a cache.
