LilNASx.local - our first NAS

Done so far

  1. Setup RAID1 with the two 16TB disks
  2. Time machine backup of Mac M1 MINI
  3. Attached old USB 5 TB external drive
  4. Turned on SSH
  5. Copied files off the 5 TB external drive
sent 5,587,996 bytes  received 929,453,971,988 bytes  29,089,700.33 bytes/sec
total size is 1,049,851,364,581  speedup is 1.13
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(2290) [generator=3.4.1]
  1. Used UGREEN NAS iPhone App to about 7300 photos over night. This is a lot faster and easier than using a lighting cable connected to my Mac M1 mini. And this transfer is via WiFi. What's going on with that?
  2. Turned on a bunch of photo processing features:
    1. People recognition v1.2.4
    2. Text recognition v1.1.5
    3. Similar/Duplicate photo recognition v1.1.5
  3. Installed docker - haven't run anything yet...
