@ocramius @kboyd can confirm when you just use it over NFS or SMB/CIFS it's an as meaningless upgrade as any other.

@wyri @ocramius @kboyd I'm on Expenology based on DSM 7.2-64570 Update 1, and I agree, as a NAS there isn't much difference between the current DSM and one from 10 years ago, unless maybe you need AD integration or so... Perhaps NFS 4.2 ?

@wanwizard @ocramius @kboyd never heard of Expenology before. Does it run your NAS better than what Synology puts out? Part of the reason I now have a home cluster is how crappy containers ran on it, and how flaky the controls for it used to be

@wyri @wanwizard @ocramius Looking into it, it's hard to find a central resource for it (seems like there might be some "cloning" going on, like the fake sites that plague OrcaSlicer), but it sounds like Xpenology lets you run Synology's software (DSM) on custom hardware builds.

So it doesn't run custom software on Synology hardware, it's the other way around - custom hardware running Synology software.
