Go here: http://dns323.kood.org/  and spend some time reading. You should be able to figure it out.

I just installed a second disk into my 323 and when I try to run BitTorrent from EasySearch it fails and tells me to "Please Check Hard Drives".

Any help?

I had the single disk in the right hand bay (if you're facing it). I'll try swapping. Cheers!

I have a question regarding the built in torrent client.  I have my DNS 323 (FW 1.06) with 2x 750gb seagate drives running in two volumes.  Volume 1 is a 250 gb Raid 1, and Volume 2 is a 1 tb jbod.  I use raid 1 for all my pictures, files & etc. that I want double copies of for protection.  For the torrents that I download, (tv shows, etc) I don't need to use the raid 1.  I want the torrents to download directly to the second volume (the jbod) since I don't need redundancy for those.  I asked DLink tech support how to switch the settings for the torrent client so that it would store them on the second volume, they replied stating it could not be done.  I asked them how I could change it so that Volume 1 would be the jbod, they replied saying sorry again but it cannot be done.  Then I read this:
http://dns323.kood.org/howto:bittorrent
Where it states "By default, the downloaded files are stored on Volume_1 (HD_a2). To make the files downloaded on Volume_2, create empty folders (complete, incomplete, torrents) on Volume_2 and create symbolic links on HD_a2 pointing on HD_b2. "  This sounds great, except, I'm not sure what a symbolic link is or how I would create it.  Is it simply a shortcut?  Can anyone please elaborate on this?  I am running everything "stock" on the dns and have no linux experience.  My laptop is running WinXP, but I also access the dns from my ps3 for streaming the media.
Can this "Symbolic Link" be created and installed without modding the firmware or installing this fun_plug thing that I see listed in many posts?

I searched first and read through many posts, but could not find the answers.  If I missed it, kindly link.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Michael.

Well, firmware version 1.05 and higher has a bittorrent client built into it, so no fun_plug required, however if you wish to use one of the other torrent clients listed on the forum, then yes, I believe you do need it installed.  I am just using the one that came with the firmware upgrade, so I have not installed any modded software such as fun_plug.
