Setting

Description

TLER/ERC Timer

Enable this feature to specify a maximum response time of all disks in

seconds.

When a disk encounters a read or write error, it may become unresponsive

while the disk firmware attempts to correct the error. QTS might interpret

this unresponsiveness as a disk failure. Enabling this feature ensures that

a disk has sufficient time to recover from a read or write error before QTS

marks it as failed and initiates a RAID group rebuild.

Tip

• This setting is also known as Error recovery control

(ERC), Time-limited error recovery (TLER) or Command

completion time limit (CCTL).

• When this feature is disabled, QTS uses the default

TLER/ERC settings specified by the disk manufacturer.

Check for expansion unit

firmware updates at login

Automatically check online for newer firmware for each expansion unit

connected to the NAS. If QTS detects newer firmware, it will ask whether

you want to install it.

Share my disk analysis data

with QNAP

Send anonymous disk analysis data and NAS system information to QNAP

to improve future products. QNAP does not collect any user data. You can

opt out of this program at any time.

Snapshot Global Settings

Setting

Description

Smart Snapshot Space

Management

Enable this feature to automatically delete the oldest snapshots when the

available snapshot storage space (guaranteed snapshot space plus free

storage pool space) is less than 32GB. You can choose to exclude the most

recent snapshot, or snapshots that were created with the setting Keep this

snapshot permanently.

Important

If QTS is unable to create 32GB of free snapshot space, it

will not create any new snapshots.

Enable File Station Snapshot

Directory for administrators

Enable this feature to consolidate all available snapshots into a centralized

folder in File Station. You can restore files and folders from the snapshot

directory by copying them into another folder.

Make snapshot directory

(@Recently-Snapshot) visible

in shared folder root

Enable this feature to show a read-only folder

@Recently-Snapshot

at

the root level of each shared folder, containing all of the shared folder's

snapshots. You can restore files and folders from

@Recently-Snapshot

by copying them into another folder.

When the number of

snapshots reaches maximum

Specify the default QTS behavior after a volume, LUN, or NAS reaches

its maximum number of snapshots. You can choose one of the following

behaviors:

• Overwrite the oldest snapshot when taking a new one.

• Stop taking snapshots.
