Hi All,

I have a brand new DNS-323 with 2x1.5 To disks.

If it is brand new it probably has a rev-C1 board, look at the bottom of the box.
Alt-F is developed and tested in a rev-B1 board, so A1 and C1 boards are (not yet) supported.

So my question is : is Alt.f usable (at least as usable as 1.08 ?

hmmm, beta 2 versus 1.08? four months old versus 3 years? A one man job versus DLink?
You have to wait a few more weeks for Alt-F to reach the 1.08 level :-)

This said, I believe it's pretty usable, perhaps with an old disk, the data is yours. RAID is not yet "automated", only for 0.1B4, meanwhile you need to have RAID and cli knowledge.

I would like to know if Alt.f firmware is ok to go to prod (no big bugs) because I would like to use EXT4 instead of EXT2/3.

Hi,
if you (still) have brand new disks and are interested in ext4 why don't you consider native Debian installation?
I have it on my DNS-323 with 2x1.5G disks too (raid1), but I made the mistake to choose ext3 when first installing, so now I'm looking for a good way to migrate to ext4 without risking my data and/or to have an unbootable system :-)
In fact on my desktop I've seen how fast is ext4 when it's time to fsck, where ext3 takes about an hour and half on a 1,5 G filesystem!
Bye.

You have to search Alt-F forum

and also read the instructions to recover, if it applies
