PPP — NAS Storage (QNAP & TerraMaster)

Two NAS units provide bulk storage for the lab. Their role is NFS-mounted volumes for bulk and cold data — media, backups, archives, large datasets. VM and container working disks live on the NUCs' internal SSD (ppp-nucs), which is faster; the NAS serves capacity, not IOPS.

Units

	QNAP	TerraMaster
IP	192.168.50.215	pending (just powered on)
Reached	Samba (139/445), web admin (443/8080)	SSH candidates .3 / .180; web admin not yet answering
SSH	:22 filtered (firewalled)	TBD
Disk capacity	unknown — needs admin access	unknown

Remote administration — open question

The QNAP is locked down: SSH :22 is filtered, anonymous SMB is denied, and the web UI requires a login. Reading its disk or automating it needs either admin credentials or SSH enabled in QTS. The TerraMaster's admin UI is not yet responding (likely still booting, or on a non-standard port — 8081/8181 checked, nothing yet).

To do: get admin creds (or enable SSH) on both, read actual capacity, then decide which volumes to export over NFS.

Storage strategy

• NFS exports for bulk/cold data, mounted into VMs/CTs where capacity matters.
• Not VM root or working disks — NAS latency is too high for active work.
• Keep active VM/CT disks on the NUC SSD pools (thin-provisioned, copy-on-write base images keep overlap low).
