Hi,

In TOS6 I have currently this kind of configuration:

- NVME for SYSTEM and APPS
- HDDs for DATA and USER HOMEs

This configuration is working well, but I discovered that on the HDDs are also stored a lot of system related directories (with @):

@apps
@cache
@collect
@desktop
@faceCover
@system
@thumbnail
@videoframe
@zlog

in particular
@system/media/pgsql/pg_stat_tmp
@zlog

are always updated preventing the HDDs to go in sleep.

I know that in control panel is possible to move @app to another Volume but it's possible only to move together both USERS and SYSTEM directories. This prevent to have a more useful mixed configuration like all the SYSTEM @ directories together with the OS on NVME and have the USERS homes on HDDs. Do you have any ideas how to force in case?

Your requirements have been recorded. Our project team will discuss the feasibility of this matter shortly.

Hi,

this is great because can give to the official OS flexibility without introducing ad-hoc configuration like I did here viewtopic.php?t=10200

Hey!

Just wondering if this feature is available on TOS 7 yet. I have the same setup, and without it I'm forced to create users manually, which is a shame because of the missing functionality mentioned here:

> Disabling the Homes directory service will also disable the following services. Are you sure you want to continue?
>
> * User Space: Desktop, Safe, My Documents.
> * TNAS Mobile: Album Backup.
> * TerraSync: My Files.
> * Photos: Personal Space.

Can I do something different?

Thanks!

This feature is not implemented in the current system version; please wait for a future update.

Under normal circumstances, the @zlog directory is not expected to contain continuously updating log entries.
We would appreciate it if you could archive the logs located in this directory and forward them to our technical support email address for further analysis. Please be sure to include the link to this thread and your forum name so we know it's from you.

Hi, you have rights, this was an old post so I checked again @zlog after TOS7 update, and I found that the level of files decreased a lot. It looks like only three files are recently updated and not so often:

- http_(date).log which includes only when I edit the user permission, rather in the past logs every login and more information
- vpn_l2tpd (date).log, vpn_pptpd (date).log, vpn_openvpn (date).log, which now logs only the service start and stop

rather the other directory I mentioned @system/media/pgsql/pg_stat_tmp is still updated with more frequency.
