I'm new nsa-220 user and want to ask is it possible to run next features on device:
webserver with php & mysql support
torrent downloader
netatalk protocol for apple time machine support
I'm not very experienced with linux, but will try to learn things to make it work.

All this is possible once proper ffp is installed, I've got this set up on my dns-323.
Follow ffp guides on the wiki and search the NSA-220 forum for special directions for your hardware.

I bought this device with firmware 3.11 preinstalled. How to upgrade to 3.12? Is that some other way when from 2.30?
Offline
AFAIK it's the same way as upgrading from 2.30 (using an USB stick) description
Are you sure you have a 'standard' NSA220 and not a -plus? 3.11 sounds strange. It has been available for only 2 weeks, and is skipped for some major bug. Several people bricked their box when upgrading. But maybe this bug was only found when upgrading from older versions.

Quite strage. I have tried this with 2 usb sticks. One 1 GB and other 16 GB. Device just started up and nothing happened.

When it just started up the script on the key is not run. When the script is run the box will switch itself off, regardless if the firmware is updated or not.
In order to run the script, the key needs to have a partition table, and the first (in most cases only) partition needs to be formatted fat32, and contain (in the root) at least the files:
nsa220_check_file
usb_key_func.sh
nsa220_fw\usb_key_func.sh
nsa220_fw\Upgrade
These files may not be changed a single byte. When you opened them in a Windows editor they could be damaged. These files are not enough to actually update the firmware, but enough to run the script and switch the NAS off.
The stick *needs* to have a partition table. There are sticks without one, although they are rare. However, when you formatted them on a linuxbox with a command line like
mkdosfs /dev/sdb
(the whole device, and not the first partition /dev/sdb1) the partition table is gone, and you need to use fdisk to recreate it. I am not aware of a way to check in Windows if a stick has a partition table.

I had to downgrade to version 2.30 and then upgrade to 3.12. Now it works, thanks!

It may be a stupid quastion. If I install FFP do I have to configure all services via it ? I mean that nsa-220 webinterface will be useless ?
FFP installs to HDD inside device, so will it make HDD run all the time?
Thanks in advance!

FFP is installed aside the firmware, and by default it doesn't affect it. So the webinterface still works as it should. FFP only offers extra or alternate functionality.
When FFP is installed on HDD, it doesn't automatically make the HDD run, only when disk access is needed by the nature of the running service. By default FFP only gives shell access, and the disk will only spin up when you open a shell.

but usb stick I have to use anyway and I could run whole script from usb stick? Could I use USB stick for webserver with mysql & php functions?
Offline
Sure, no problem.
