I tried it on my 2015 MBP when it came out but my Time Machine backups to my Synology NAS stopped working and I couldn't make them work again no matter what I did. That's why I've avoided it (I've also had some health problems that occupied my time). If that's been addressed by 10.14.4 I might go to it, but that's why I'm concerned.

I haven't tried using the Synology DSM as a Time Machine in a long time. I have been using a local drive for Time Machine. Are you on the latest version of DSM?

Yep. My experience has been that sometimes network TM backups work, sometimes they don't, because Apple doesn't want it to happen unless it's to a Time Capsule or Mac OS X Server (both discontinued, of course) and DSM is just using Linux packages that pretend to be those things so OS X will back up. So I know it's not supported but HS worked so well for so long.

Also - I remoted into the Hack and confirmed it's just trying to use the iGPU. However updates are failing in the same way. I'm beginning to suspect I may have a problem with that boot drive that just didn't expose itself until I was trying to do this. I deleted a bunch of stuff on it today but I didn't get the disk space back. So something related to that may be causing updates (or shutdown) to fail. I will try to restore my CCC backup in case that resolves that error and if not I'll format tomorrow and start over.

That's how any Linux based NAS handles Time Machine. But the times that I did test DSM as Time Machine, I had no issues. I'll try with 10.14.4 when I have a bit more free time...

Please post your config.plist and I'll try to make changes so that it will work with High Sierra.

Creating a USB installer for Mojave and installing on top of your existing install as I previously described should be much easier and faster.
 
This is my original config.plist from my working 10.13.4 drive:

Please try this config.plist. It should work with 10.13.x and 10.14.x.

As mysteriously as this problem appeared, it has now disappeared. Obviously something changed -- computers don't have free will ;) -- but darned if I can identify it. At least it's working again.

Spoke too soon. Here's the weird part: Audio works fine after waking as long as audio is constantly playing.

  • Does not work: wake from sleep, log in, wait, after a few seconds there will be a click or pop from the speakers, and after that no audio.
  • Works: wake from sleep, log in, IMMEDIATELY start playing audio (within at least 3 seconds). Audio will work as long as something is using it. If audio stops playing for more than a few seconds, then I hear a click and audio stops working until the next restart.
Turns out this is a known issue -- see thread The audio fails to return from sleep mode. The fix seems to be to install the latest AppleALC (which @pastrychef had already suggested). I've not had a chance to do that yet but will try that next. Yeah, that fixed it. I installed AppleALC v1.3.7 and it works fine now.

Thank you very much!

I tried formatting my boot disk and restoring the CCC backup to it and trying to update to 10.13.6 again and it doest the same thing, so it's either the original config.plist or some filesystem corruption. I'm going to try to install Mojave on a spare drive with this new config.plist you sent me and see if I can get my TM backups going to the NAS, if so I'll stay with Mojave; if not I'll try to build a new 10.13.6 system with your config.plist. I'll let you know either way. Thanks again for your great support!

If you are going to do a clean install of Mojave, just use the config.plist from r5.0b and change the SMBIOS to iMac18,3.

Okay, I will do that if I decide to keep Mojave.

How do I enable the dual GPUs? I use Final Cut Pro X and Compressor and apparently it relies on the iGPU for encoding. On my test install of Mojave, FCPX renders the BruceX test correctly but the encode hangs in Compressor. System Report does not list the iGPU. It does recognize my 580RX and works on the display but I can't find the iGPU.

You don't have to do anything. IGPU is enabled. System Information will not show it. This is how it is on real iMacs too.

You can use IORegistryExplorer to confirm that IGPU is enabled.
