Re: new (v43?) beta 1.04 firmware

Can we PLEASE for the love of GOD get a firmware for this NAS which has "FTP LOGGING"? How hard is it really to code that in to dump a text file out to a remote location?

Also, NAT support would be nice (so I can run an FTP server on ANY port from a NAT without problems) and when I change the FTP Server Port in the 323 it *SHOULD NOT* ask me to configure a user when I ONLY WANT TO CHANGE THE FTP SERVER PORT!!!! Grrrrrrrrr...

Re: new (v43?) beta 1.04 firmware

the firmware has number of small improvements (like different print queue)

I've been complaining to DLink about international characters bug.

this firmware has makes an improvement in that area (-:
- that is: it no longer just randomly garbles international file names
.... no, now it consistently replaces regional chars with "_" underline character
- well at least you can now read back the file after guessing its name ...

the firmware seems to be stable enough (well it did not crash on me, nor made me lose any files) but it is BETA so the usual warnings apply (-;

here is the rapid share link to the firmware

You do realise that this forum is neither owned nor operated by D-Link and you post may or may not be seen by them - perhaps you should email them directly.

Re: new (v43?) beta 1.04 firmware

I notice under it creates a SDC1 does this mean USB support? if not what is it?

Seems they are now heading away from having bit torrent support. Disappointing... although not that it worries me because we already have it wink.

Only new feature i can see is DDNS. It would have been a long wait for new firmware if that is all that is added, although you would like to think they'd have sorted out all the bugs at least

Thank you very much for posting the firmware!

I too have been struggling with the poor International character (no UTF-8) support with the current 1.03 firmware which runs samba 2.x.  I'm looking forward to samba 3.x with the new firmware which *should* support UTF-8.

I know that International character support with samba 3.x is just fine on CentOS3 (RHEL3) or Ubuntu.   

Let's hope that D-link will finally release 1.04 soon -- it's been a very very very long time since their last update.

Re: new (v43?) beta 1.04 firmware

Oh joy.. so now international users can see some of simple features missing from the 323 in their own language. <sigh>

As for sending this to D-Link.. I would rather someone else with more "insider influence" do that. I am but a "anal mouthpiece shouting to the forest of the earless ones" sad

Hi again,

Just wanted to say that the firmware seems pretty stable.

When I first installed the firmware, I also  initially had problems with consistently replaces regional chars with "_" underline character in the filename.  However, the international characters within the content of the file remained intact and displayed properly.

Then, on a whim, I decided to reformat the filesystem.   Happy news:  now everything works just fine!
(I was lucky that re-formatting was not a big deal for me.)


So, I'm not sure if you want to give that a try too.  If it works for you, maybe you can report this feedback to Taiwan D-link.  Hopefully, they can tweak it some more and get this new firmware out the door!

Thanks again!

Interesting - unfortunately I have my DLink almost full - it would take me days to offload the data and to try reformatting.

Can anybody else try and see if reformatting fixes the international chars problem? (and I wonder why?)

Re: new (v43?) beta 1.04 firmware

Formatting shouldn't change anything. It is a question of samba configuration probably.....
Maybe moving/renaming files should be enough ?

My 2 cents

Is the scandisk/fsdk and/or defrag present again, or are they still missing ?

Re: new (v43?) beta 1.04 firmware

fdisk is still broken in this beta release:
# fdisk /dev/sda

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 30515.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Segmentation fault


And also after second restart:

umount /dev/md0
e2fsck /dev/md0
reboot
#everything is fine
reboot

it complains about errors on /dev/md0 (uncleanly dismounted)- although e2fsck did not find any errors.

Strangely you have to restart twice to get this warning.

Otherwise it behaves itself.

Re: new (v43?) beta 1.04 firmware

I've corresponding with DLink some more - they give assurances that the main point of 1.04 release IS FIXING the internation chars issue
... albeit I am not encouraged by their progress so far )-:

If anybody has anymore feedback on this problem - please share it here

Re: new (v43?) beta 1.04 firmware

From my perspective I would think that the main point of 1.04 was to move to samba 3.x. International characters being fixed is the bonus smile.

Re: new (v43?) beta 1.04 firmware

I'm connecting to my device using both a Windows and a Mac box. I was having a few issues using by Macbook Pro. Mostly lags, delays while browsing my fairly large music share, looked like a indexing problem. I took a shot and went ahead and loaded the 1.04 beta and I'm happy to report it improved things considerably. Browsing is smooth, all is well. Thanks for posting the update, saved me a lot of time. I was considering a move/reformat which would have been very time consuming.

Re: new (v43?) beta 1.04 firmware

If you have feedback opportinities it would be good to have the samba "net" application included. I know that samba has not been compiled with krb libraries, but as a simple legacy domain member it is better than not at all.

Hi, I can confirm 100% that international (chinese, japanese, korean) works fine after reformat with 1.04 V43 firmware. I just tested it!
Before reformat, all international text appear to be _ . I believe the new firmware also has a new format for the file system, the HDD must be reformated in order to see the charactors.

Now the problem is, I tested it on my 250gb hdd but my main 500 gb drive has 250 gb movie on it! Is there any easy way to transfer the files from another HDD in 323 into the 2nd drive? Transfer over the wire would take days hmm

Re: new (v43?) beta 1.04 firmware

Great news! Follow up with my previous post, I just inserted my main 500 GB HDD without format and somehow the text issue has also been fixed! Now I can see inter chars on both HDD without formatting the 2nd drive! It seems you need to at least perform the format once on one of the HDD (maybe just any HDD? someone plz test, eg: format HDD A, then remove A, and insert HDD B and C in without format B & C)

BUT! the bad news is, the power up bug is still there!
After a full power cycle, (turn off and on) if you have 1 HDD inserted, it can not see it, the blue light keeps flashing, if you have two HDD inserted, only one of them is accessable, steady light, the other HDD keeps flashing and unable to access it. You must go to the the system page and touch some network access setting, eg: toggle network access from user to group then back to user again, then click the restart button on the system page, now you should be able to see both HDD or the HDD if only 1 is inserted.
