Hi,
I have a HDD formatted for ext3 (single partition) with some data on, that I'd like to mount in my new DNS-320.
It mounts fine with my old DNS-323. I was hoping the DNS-320 would do the same, but it seems to insist on re-formatting all drives with AJAX stuff and a RAID partition even though I just want simple storage.
Is it possible to persuade the DNS-320 to mount an ext3 drive without the baggage? I have ffp installed and ready to go...
Many thanks for any advice...

I'd expect you can just mount it manually:
mount /dev/sdc1 /path/to/mountpoint
To share it, you'll have to edit smb.conf, or create the mountpoint in an existing share.

Thanks!
It seems it _is_ mounting the drive automatically, but not publishing it over smb. I'll have a fiddle with smb.conf and report back.
(Turns out my drive is ext2, not ext3 as I thought - maybe it'll deal better with existing data on an ext3 partition...)

Another question:
fdisk -l reports that the DNS-320 formatted drive "Partition 1/4 does not end on cylinder boundary" and "Partition table entries are not in disk order". Any guesses as to why DLink DNS-320 chooses to format the drive in this way?
