QNAP Turbo NAS firmware version 4
Wednesday, August 14. 2013
QNAP released their version 4 firmware. Its GUI has iPad-look and feel and is a major improvement overall. It has all the existing features (actually I don't know of any new interesting things), but the management interface has been completely re-written. It responds much faster and is really nice to use. Actually the version 3 GUI was very, very slow to log-in or respond to a click. It looks like this:
The only thing I noticed that didn't work was date/time settings. It chose a GMT-12 time zone for some reason. It does work in the background, I'm using Europe/Helsinki TZ and it shows EEST correctly on SSH-connection:
[~] # date
Wed Aug 14 13:24:52 EEST 2013
Also, I noticed that daylight savings time -setting displays the correct TZ.
To fix the NTP-client I did following:
# /sbin/setcfg NTP "Server1 IP" -my-IP-here-
# /etc/init.d/ntpd.sh stop
# /etc/init.d/ntpd.sh start
This does not reflect the change to the GUI.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to see the next firmware to fix those issues.

Thanks dude, this was the perfect answer. I had trouble with my NTP-settings, even firmware 4.1.3 is affected. The manual update worked, but the time was slower than those of my other network devices. After apllying this fix, all is working well. I know this is an old post, but the firmware of my QNAP TS-212P had this problem even now, nearly 2 years later..Comment (1)
