DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Since EXT2 is an option supported by Ubuntu (rev 8.04 if it matters), does that mean i should be able to mount one of the DNS-323 formatted drives under Ubuntu?

My problem is apparently the inode table got corrupted on the DNS-323 (I had 2 WD 500MB drives in RAID1 and I think firmware was 1.02).  First symptom was if I shutdown the DNS-323, files seemed to disappear & then when I restart all of a sudden file named whatever.exe started becoming directories of other files lost from other directories and so on.  I did manage to copy most of the files off onto a 500MB USB drive (and this all goes to show that RAID1 isn't backup - as I now know).  FYI, I did have a few 25GB files uploaded from USB drives under WinXP and the DNS-323 seemed happy with them - I've seen other people claim 2GB is limit, so not sure what that means.

I have many Ubuntu systems running 7.10 or 8.04, but they all claim the DNS-323's drive has a valid Linux swap partition and an "unknown" partition of the correct size to be the data.

I'm just trying to confirm if my assumption EXT2 partitions should be mountable is reasonable or idiotic fantasy.

many Thanks
