So second time round I just let it create a new library from scratch. Does it actually upload everything to iCloud to compare, or just upload hash/CRC/something-else data? IDK I just know it took a loooong time. OS X recognizes the move and then does a complete sync with iCloud to make sure the library is intact. If you decide to move the photos library it won't instantly work and be up to date like before. Move or new? I've tried both, and frankly I'd rather start a new one because just in case you messed up someplace or for some reason the link to the SCSI drive resource isn't stable - you still have the other library around. You can then move your library to it or start a new library on it.
#Osx globalsan mac
If you format it as a normal Mac disk, it shows up like any other disk. Once you've created the resource on the NAS and attached with globalSAN, OS X sees an attached unformatted disk. I do recommend turning on the options on the target/initiator to make things more safe even if slightly slower. (NOTE: globalSAN is NOT compatible with Big Sur!) The globalSAN connection is reliable, and using a Thunderbolt connection to the NAS - it was fast!Īttaching to the disk takes a moment of effort to figure out but if I can, you can. I've been using globalSAN for a while now under Mojave and Catalina. Next I looked for not-free and there was expensive (ATTO $195 USD) or half-ish the price globalSAN iSCSI Initiator ($89 USD) from SNS (Studio Network Solutions). If you know OS X you know that's rolling the dice on whether the disk comes back when you plug it in again. If the iSCSI connection disconnects it is equivalent to yanking the plug on an attached drive. I tried Kernsafe and found that on Mojave/Catalina, it was not reliable.
So you need to get one from a 3rd party.īecause money, I first went for free.
#Osx globalsan windows
Although Windows apparently ships with one, OS X does not, not even Big Sur AFAIK. If you have a NAS or other computer that let's you set up a SCSI "disk" target, then you can connect to it with something called an iSCSI initiator. The idea here is Photos does not support being placed on network storage. I thought I would share my experience getting this to work. I have a QNAP NAS/DAS (Direct Attached Storage) so I've tried this over gigabit ethernet and Thunderbolt 3. I've looked in the past for ways to move my photos library off of my computer and onto a disk I have on a network.
