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

So the question is: can I just remove my hard drives, upgrade, then stick them back in?  Or do I need to backup everything, upgrade, reformat the drives then push everything back onto the drives?

edit: I decided to go for it.  Did the first option.  Upgrade went fine with no data loss.

if you take out the drives the chances of you are lousing data is bigger..

let the drives be in and upgrade the firmware if you like to beta test else wait a week or so and then upgrade.

Yes. No issues on the upgrade. Left the drives in. All's well. Drives previously formatted with 1.05.

v1.06 final seems to be exactly the same as beta v1.06 b65 from station drivers. No issues with upgrade.

Yes it is after two month a bluff by D-Link USA and specialy the D-Link USA forum. It is the same version then the 1.06b65!

Look at the date on the DNS-323 firmware site.

Upgraded fine for me - seems ok but I can't seem to find anywhere to configure the fan settings. Anyone give me a clue where to find this?

AAAARGH!!! My PS3 still doesn't recognize the NAS!!
I have just updated the firmware to the 1.06 (is this the same of the 1.06b65??) but nothing changed I got always the DLNA 2114 error :-(
The ps3 has latest firmware 2.53 on board and is configured in WIFI mode.
Does any other got the same problem?? How to fix it? The dlink docs says it should be fixed now.......

I have followed your advice and i'm running 1.05 on my dns-323 and it now works thanks, i'll try to upload the new firmware from dlink as i have reported to them the issue and provided me a critical ticket with a link to new firmware. thanks all also i'm connected to a asus wl700ge router , works well . i returned my dir 655 as i always have to set the wpa2 on the router again and again even running on new firmware

thanks all

Couple of questions with this....

1. Am running Fonz's funplug (0.5), will I have to re-install this and redo my changes after upgrading to 1.06?
2. I am also running the Fan Script, will I have to delete this prior to using the incorporated 1.06 one?

Thx

Is anyone who's upgraded had problems with their unit going in to powersave mode?

I have ffp 0.5 running from the hard drive with mediatomb and transmission - while on 1.05 the disks would spin down and the big blue light go out ok but since the upgrade it doesn't seem to want to.

Tried all the thing's I can think of, inbuilt uPnP and itunes are disabled, have cleared any spooled print jobs so can't see why it should stay "awake".

Is this firmware suitable for both Revision A and B?

I'm from Australia, and Firmware v1.06 is out on the dlink US and AU sites. However at the time I downloaded them, they were slightly different.

The US one unpacked to dns323_firmware_106 @7,893,846 bytes US link
The AU one unpacked to DNS323_Firmware_106b62 @7,864,710 bytes (AU - REV B link)
On the AU site, v1.06 is currently only listed for REV B of the DNS-323. For Rev A, the latest firmware is still v1.05 (AU - REV A link.  The US site doesn't have different downloads for Rev A / Rev B of the device.

The release notes from the version on the US site: dns323_firmware_106 @7,893,846 bytes are in mastervol's post above.

From the AU site Release notes of: DNS323_Firmware_106b62 @7,864,710 bytes (at the time of writing)

**WARNING** Read Before Upgrading Firmware.

New firmware for the DNS-323 often affects the way hard drives are formatted and the way files are handled.
To avoid potential complications and loss of files, please back up all files to another location before upgrading firmware.
After the upgrade, re-format your hard drives if upgrading from Shipping firmware 1.00 or 1.01 and if hard drives are formatted in EXT3.
Once the hard drives have been re-formatted, it will be safe to move your files back onto the DNS-323.

I'm running REV A1 hardware on US firmware v1.05. I upgraded to US v1.06 without issues (so far). And didn't have to make any changes to fun_plug when updating the firmware (but I had the data backed up just incase ) -- Your milage may vary.
