在多年玩转NAS的过程中，我一直使用着一台配置偏低的D525平台。尽管其性能有限，但其小巧、紧凑且美观的设计让我始终保留并不断探索不同系统，逐步开辟了一条个性化的“NAS折腾之旅”。如今，飞牛NAS成为最热门、最实用的生产力工具，其性能毫不逊色于群晖NAS，完全能满足企业或个人的存储需求。

折腾是无休止的过程，特别是在选择远程访问飞牛fnos NAS的最佳方式时。若拥有公网IP，则通过Cloudflare的DDNS进行访问是最快且最优的选择。<告别 FN Connect：Cloudflare DDNS 免费实现飞牛NAS远程访问与电影播放>为提升安全性，我们可添加TLS或CDN来隐藏公网地址。<告别复杂端口号：Cloudflare DDNS + TLS 证书+规则策略，实现飞牛NAS“即输即达”安全远程访问>若无公网IP，除了使用飞牛提供的免费FN外，通过Cloudflare的Tunnel同样能实现安全高效的远程访问，且永久免费。<告别无公网 IP 焦虑：用 Cloudflare Tunnel / Zero Trust 打造真正可分享的飞牛fnOS NAS 免费远程访问方案> 条件运行我们尽可能可以申请获取到动态IP使用DDNS远程访问，这才是实现远程访问最快的访问速度。

Qunhui 6: A silky smooth experience for starters

It was first in my own Old King of Tech YouTube In the video, it was shared that DSM 6 The installation process has also been used for a long time, dsvideo PT downloads and other shared LAN use mounts and other functional use, the feeling at the time can be said to be “amazing” - even D525 such low configuration of old hardware, DSM 6 still runs smoothly and friendly interface. DSM 6 still runs smoothly, with a friendly interface and a complete suite, which made me feel the convenience and smooth experience of NAS for the first time.

Qunhui 7: Stuck and Lost After Upgrade

In order to try out the latest features and the new UI I couldn't resist upgrading to DSM 7. However, the experience after the upgrade was much less pleasant:

The system is noticeably laggy, and even just LAN data copying the CPU footprint is high;

The smoothness is gone, not to mention normal usage;

All types of operations seem to be strained.

This made me start looking for alternatives.

OMV: stable but monotonous transition option

With DSM 7 lagging, I turned to OMV (OpenMediaVault).
The benefits of OMV are undeniable:

File sharing is stable and reliable;

No problem as LAN storage.

But the drawbacks are equally obvious:

Limited playability, perennial pretty much just a PT downloadable sentence of data storage nothing more;

The advanced features are difficult, and a bit “hardcore” for the tosser.

So in the time I've been using OMV, I've gotten stability but a lack of surprises.

Flying Bull NAS: The Final Surprise and Return We can see that the CPU percentage is exceptionally low. Standby state 0%

Just when I thought I could only compromise between “stability and smoothness”, my friend recommended me to try Flying Niu NAS (FnOS).
After installing it, I found that it completely exceeded expectations:

1. Smooth and silky - still smooth on a low-profile device like the D525;
2. Strong compatibility - excellent performance in hardware adaptation and application compatibility;
3. Highly playable -- Functions are flexible and free, no less than Qunhui;
4. Free and open source -- a zero-cost experience, which is very attractive to users who like to toss and turn.

It can be said that Feiniu NAS has found a good balance between Qunhui's ease of use and OMV's stability. I was surprised and thought of sharing with my friends at the same time, and I have encountered all kinds of problems and shared them with you.

I hope this will help you to solve this kind of problem.

First of all, the first use of banlenaEtcher because this is also commonly used to burn the firmware of the software is convenient and interface friendly, previously installediStoreOSI used this burning software, but this time the installation failed to boot, the USB drive failed to boot and jumped to hard disk boot.

Try re-burning using the officially provided Rufus 4.5Flying Cow nas系统 问题来了又出现了loading linux 6.1.0-trim 452：out of range pintter 8xbf557f68 报错，想办法查询继续解决问题。

After a number of inquiries to find the cause, there are small partners also occur such a problem is not by chance, there are posts that illustrate the rufus burn Flying Bull NAS version of the problem, so try to install theRufus 3.15Version re-burned Flying Bull nas/Flying Bull fnOS image, got to solve the boot problem and can boot from USB disk normally.

Originally sure that everything went well, did not think that the next more deadly, flying cattle nas once again appeared error, installation failure prompted my SSD system installation disk partition failure, thought the preparation of the system disk problem re-replacement of a solid state hard disk or the same partition failure. Is the SSD solid state disk problem?

Query that you can try to use the second startup repair mode installation, after several installations of the same error, also failed to install, had to continue to look for reasons

From the official documentation given to the installation error report, it turns out that the Secure Boot mode leads to another big pitfall, which will lead to the partition failure error report.More motherboard settings straight to the official documentation

All Flying Cow nas errors were resolved, booted directly with the default first item and all went well. The Flying Bull NAS system was finally installed successfully! Seeing the result all the persistence is worth it.

The flying cow nas/fnos so far after unremitting efforts to install, finally installed successfully, see the results of all the persistence is worth it, the process of tossing this is also a kind of fun, I hope to encounter such problems of the partners can be found from my blog once the method can help you.
