DSM is a Linux-based operating system that is used on all of SynologyвЂ™s DiskStation and RackStation units (RackStations are rackmounted NAS devices that typically have more compute power, memory, and capacity than their DiskStation counterparts).ДSM comes with several applications one would expect to find on a NAS, including file sharing, centralized backup, RAID storage, and virtual storage.

All the updates have been free of charge. Synology has since regularly updated their OS, with major updates happening once or twice a year. The following year the company debuted its first DiskStation (their desktop NAS devices) running DSM. Synology was founded in 2000 and began its research on DSM in 2003.

Now that Synology has released a major update to its DSM with 6.0 and up, we decidedВ to take a closer look at the OS, all of its main apps, and what updates have come along. Though weвЂ™ve reviewed numerous NAS devices from Synology, as well as a few of their applications (Surveillance Station and Cloud Sync), we hadВ yet to actually take a deeper look into the OS itself.

Many of us here have used, or currently use DSM on either a professional or personal level. I'd be realy happy if someone who's experienced with that topic could answer and even if it's a 'no it's not possible anymore'.At StorageReview we tend to talk highly of SynologyвЂ™s operating system, DiskStation Manager (DSM). Also I let colleagues check my DNS, NTP and networking settings - no problems there. I tried 3 times, always with those (or comparable) results. I ask myself if it is even possible to get it working.

General Issue: Some applications do not work well with network homes (for example the mac built-in unzipper)Д«ecause of those problems, I decided to try to get it working with synchronized mobile homes. Additionally, many other files do not get saved correctly or with incorrect permissions.

same issue as with 'pure OD': Keychain does not get synced.

Other files get synchronized (but the keychain-not-syncing is a showstopper)ДЄctive Directory, userhome-location on the OS X Server or on a synology file server (AFP or SMB) or on the windows server:

Issue: The keychain-items do not get synchronized.

I now tried (in different configurations) to get it working in OS X 10.10.X and OS X 10.11.X but never really got it working in a stable way. I remember that this worked relatively well in OS X 10.6.X and wasn't so hard to set up. Some of them have more users than computers, so they need some form of 'movable' home directory (so the user's bookmarks, settings and so on stay while he changes computers). I work in a company which manages IT for several customers (mainly for Apple OS X deployments).
