Too bad it's a beta. Otherwise I'd go for it.

39. Add NFS Server.

can someone confirm that the kernel-nfs server works?

talkingRock · 2009-05-15 22:34:19

That's not a bad feature list.

It's good to see the fan issue finally being addressed.

I'm a bit disappointed not to see a fix for the
"it formats the wrong drive and destroys all of my data" issue.
Not inadvertently destroying data seems like a nice feature
in a storage device and it was discovered 6 or 7 revisions ago.
Something on the list has to be lower priority than that.

I may give it a try later in the beta, although, they would definitely need to fix the obvious typos on the download and install invitation on their site to give me a bit more confidence that this is ready to go. (It refers to the wrong product. Apparently someone cut and pasted from a different beta to get the legal boiler-plate, but didn't proof-read.)

just flashed Ok
enabling ffp back...

can you point me out briefly how to check?

Addition: from ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Multimedia/dns323/B … 0_beta.zip its look like an additional app and not a kernel feature

I have fixed the ONE typo pointing to an upgrade FAQ that is shared by all 3 devices....

Regarding wrong formatting, we are putting in a drive serial# check for verification before formatting.

Really glad to see this firmware posted. I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Everything I hoped would be in there is and even a few things I didn't expect.

I know a lot of people have had a lot of problems with the DNS-323, but I also know that a lot of people have been having a lot of fun with this device thanks to the fun_plug interface that D-Link graciously left in the first firmware and graciously not closing the loop-hole in later firmwares once everyone knew about it.

When I first went shopping for a NAS it was the fastest, most capable unit in its price class & now more than a year later I think it still holds that honor.

Thanks, D-Link Dudes...you've got a satisfied customer here.

Code:

sh /ffp/start/nfsd.sh start
showmount -e

Also check

Code:

$ cat /proc/filesystems | grep nfs
nodev   nfsd
nodev   nfs

Ideally, you also do a mount with '-o tcp' and check that it supports NFSv3 over TCP.

That looks the same on the current DNS-343 firmware (which didn't work for me). I wonder what 'Add NFS Server.' is supposed to mean. Is this apkg thingy a user-space server? Does anybody know how you can look inside these archives?

PS: My fault. The kernel nfs-server is compiled as modules. On my DNS-343, you need to load exportfs.ko and nfsd.ko from /sys/crfs/driver. The nfs server then starts correctly. Yay!

Thanks for the update.
That's really good news on the formatting issue.
I look forward to trying the new firmware soon.

Is this the apkg tool that you mention in the announcement?
http://apkg.org/

or this one
http://antomic.sourceforge.net/development/apkg.html

or the one that the uClibC guys have that is called apkg?

Or, are they all the same or related somehow?

The packaging method is not public currently. It is actually developed internally specifically for our devices. I don't have any further information to give on it right now :0.

Your link comtains indication HOW to post bugs in this beta, but I havent find info WHERE to post it (or WHOM to e-mail?).
Please clarify it...

P.S. Several bugs already found by members of local (russian) d-link forum

Innuendo · 2009-05-16 16:46:26

craft,
The firmware update will not format your drives. It's safe to upgrade.

maxim_fr,
I think you are supposed to post bugs in the Dlink forum that http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?board=251.0 links to.

Looks very promising. Can't wait.

Thanks for taking the time to snap shot and post. I see lot's of interesting things there!

lotech · 2009-05-17 02:56:00

I didn't post them, originally posted on d-link's forums.

I must say the ability to add packages is a real win -- I'm making my own custom package at the moment. For me it's a neater way to run things on the DNS-323 as we get control of our apps via the web interface.

While I can get by without it, are there any plans to officially release the package format?

craft · 2009-05-17 09:45:14

The itunes server is still buggy, without firefly module - the webs restarting, installed firefly module the same. :-)
Any solution ?

The "power recovery" means : after a power failure the dns-323 will bootup auto ?
