DNS 323 & NTFS
Hello
We just purchased a DNS 323 and I've installed funplug, however, I'm having a hard time finding out information about setting up my two drives in a mirror with NTFS. Is this possible?
Our goal is to setup this DNS 323 with NTFS permissions and allow users through AD to use this as a file share with read&write and locking down folders etc... If someone could clarify if this is possible or not, please let me know, I don't want to end up spending a lot of time trying to figure this out when it's not doable.
Thanks

Re: DNS 323 & NTFS
the DNS-323 is linux based and doesnt use NTFS. authentification against Active Directory is not supported. Although you can install a recent version of Debian natively and then use a current Samba Version which supports Active Directory authentification. in-deep linux knowledge is needed for this. In case you want professional stuff like AD out-of-the-box, get a NAS for professional use.

Re: DNS 323 & NTFS
Does anyone happen to have any suggestions for a similar NAS type device that will support NTFS and AD integration or is this simply not possible?

Re: DNS 323 & NTFS
In case you mean by 'similar device' a device with similar price: no. but there are NAS boxes with AD support avaiable (the 'Pro' line from QNAP comes to my mind). You can check this form http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/componen … Itemid,190 and fill out your needs and see whats possible.
NTFS based btw is not needed nor usefull for your needs. a rights management also works with ext2/ext3 which are typically used.

Re: DNS 323 & NTFS
I'm going to need NTFS, other file systems will not work for what I'm looking to do.
Do you have any other suggestions?

Re: DNS 323 & NTFS
hm, i cannot image a usage case where NTFS is necessary (and no alternatives will work) but if this is true, you probably have to get a real server running windows. maybe a windows home server box will work, too (which is in someway similar to a NAS box), but i'm not sure.

Re: DNS 323 & NTFS
It's simple really.
If you have an off-site location with a slow WAN link and you want to setup a local file storage system. You can't simply take an existing windows share with a lot of data and pre-defined permissions and dump it into a linux partition, it will strip all the permissions. I don't really want to go back and manually recreate accounts and file & folder permissions on thousands of items.

If correctly configured linux maps the windows permissions on a mount point (e.g. windows share) to it own permission system (in this case this will be the kerebos authentification against the active directory). if you then copy permission preserving (cp -p, rsync -a) the permissions will be still intact in it's new place and are mapped back while shared via samba.
