Thank you! I will try that. Seems to be working for now.

Ah, OK.

I looked at Nextcloud but it does a tonne of things I don't want. I
just needed to make use of the 8TB of disks I had sitting in a box and
put it on my LAN. It's not exposed to the Internet at all and I don't
want it to be.

OK, good to know. Thanks.

Yes, building ZFS from source made its case too hot to touch
comfortably for 45min the first time, ~20 min on an update last week.

One thing I like is that the whole setup is fanless, so apart from
disk head movement, it's pretty much totally silent in operation.

It is a bit soon to tell but it seems to be a little more
responsive... I hope Linux has some mechanism for working out which is
the fastest link and defaulting to that one.
