Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

First the EXT-3 issue I lost 400 gb data.
Now with 1.03 firmware and running EXT-2 for along time... Have a 750 gb in volume_1 (right side).
Then I put in a 250 gb in volume_2 (left side) and booted it up.
Logged in and it said I had to format the new drive and it would not touch the existing drive. Afterwards it rebooted. So far so good
Then I tried to access the files but FTP server was not running. Then I logged in again and it said it needed to format the drive. I proceeded. BIG MISTAKE!
Afterward it said SUCCESSFUL for both volume. Now I got really scared. After a reboot I logged in via FTP and there we no files.
Then I logged in the webinterface and here is my drive info now:
HARD DRIVE INFO :
Volume Name: Volume_1
Volume Type: RAID 0 (?????)
Total Hard Drive Capacity: 15 MB (????? This is my existing 750 gb drive. What happened to it?)
Used Space: 100 KB
Unused Space: 15 MB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume Name: Volume_2
Volume Type: Linear
Total Hard Drive Capacity: 983431 MB (did it merge my two drives into one?)
Used Space: 24 KB
Unused Space: 983431 MB
Where are my files? It told me it would not touch my existing drive but it did mess something up.
Are my 710 gb data gone forever?

It looks like your data is gone. You have somehow told it to create a 15M large stripe(raid 0) set. The rest has been put into a linear volume.
As everything has been formatted it is pretty much lost. You might be able to recover data from the linear devices if you put this disk into a linux box. But that takes a lot of expertice.
Sorry!

I was not asked about anything other than I could press next. The DNS has made these choices for me. It did clearly state that it would format the new drive and not existing drive. And no I'm not a noob or anything. I know about drives, partitions, file-systems, and the different types of RAID configs. This is all on D-Link!
This is the second time that the DNS-323 wipe all my files. What a great piece of hardware/software! First time I had chosen EXT-3 for my files which they removed in the next firmware.
Now I have to reencode my 400+ CD's as MP3 again. This takes a lot of time. I also had some HD DVB-S recordings I had recorded and encoded as xvid. These files are not possible to get a get as they are not broadcast anymore. This took alot of time also to do.
And then there were some important files that I have no backup off plus a shitload of stuff I cannot recall.
This box has cost me so many hours and now will do the same again that I cannot could it. I should sue their asses off! What a bummer!

You mean a total new embedded linux distro? Where can I read about this?
