Just out of curiosity - how can you tell if it's a beta?

Because your posting something thats 2 builds behind what we are actually working on.

If always new bugs build in a new version than never a bug free version will be released.

Where?

i have try it and the only problem i see was tha fan being off until 45ºC...the case become very hot for my taste.

That's the fun part of user feedback - first you get a bunch of people complaining of the fan not turning off, so you change it so that it does - and then you get a bunch more complaining that it does - that's not a flaw, that's a feature.

From the change list ...

Turn off Fan when the system temperature reached 43 degrees Celsius : 43(OFF), 46(LOW), 49(HIGH).

Anyone remember Aesop's fables - I believe there is one about a man, his son and their donkey ...

I guess it's a matter of personal opinion - I have an indicated 46* and I would consider the case temperature as barely warm.

Thumbs up for dlink having implemented the fan-stop at low temperatures! agree with fordem, 46 degrees celsius is not hot. if you dont like it use fanctrl.

cheerio

I think (correct if I'm wrong) - the temperature measurement is taken on the mainboard located down low in the case (under the hard drives). Cool air enters under the front panel and is directed rearward through a slot under the circuit board.  So the upper area of the case gets considerably warmer - specially when using the really large capacity drives (1 TB or >).  I find my WD Caviar Blacks get quite warm, even though the temperature reading from the MB is still fairly low.  So I'd like to kick the fan in at higher speed and lower temp.

I'm not going to say you're wrong - but - with a backup running to keep the drives active, I've measured the temperature, both on the top of the case and in the "disk cavity" and found them to be at 100*F when the status page is reporting 122*F.

This was done with a temperature probe, in the first case taped to the outside of the case, and the second stuck through the bottom of the front panel, past the disk activity LEDs and into the air space inbetween the disks

Bummer.

Is there any chance to replace that one with a newer one by applying patches and so on?
xfs filesystem for example and fixes to get the non-working ext3 up would be really nice to have.

First time ever that i read about probs with xfs. I'm running xfs two or three years now on my linuxfromscratch box and doesnt had any problems so far. Performance is - especially for large files which i have - very good.

Seems that this one is ARM related somehow. But ext3 would be also acceptable for me.

Just curious, is there some particular functionality that you want, which requires a newer kernel?

For my part I am so badly needing FTDI USB serial drivers which are not part of the present kernel. You can search the forum for details about why I want that.
