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

on the xp machine it does work. small files of less then 50 mb work fine.

Hi i try to back up some ISO files of dvd now i get a error that they is no space when i have more then 240 gig free. I am using windows 2003. firmware upgraded too 1.03

I am now trying putting the file on a normal xp home and then move it to the DNS-323.

Same issue:
win XP pro SP2, 500Gig free on DNS323, firmware 1.03 and still unable to copy a 4.3 Gig Iso file.

Read all the forum and did not see it. Should I have missed it.
Maybe you could provide with the reference of the post, otherwise you reply is very useless to me.

Then you didn't "read all the forum" -

wiki - http://dns323.kood.org/information:known_issues

Thank you Fordem.
The thing is I already read these post and wiki. So your assumption is wrong, I did not miss these posts

Second, what the wiki says is : "Some reports indicates that this is not an issue with Windows XP".
That is a pretty evasive sentence to say noone knows for sure. My contribution here is to say I am on XP SP2, and I got this issue even with firmware 1.03.

Third, the post assume the firmware 1.03 fixed the issue. In my case it did not. And I am not a linux geek who can do such complex analysis or change as described by tobyg

To finish, I am not the only one to get this issue with XP, see this post : http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t140-file-size.html

My original post was problems with XP SP2.

Bottom line, I am on XP SP2 and I upgraded to firmware 1.03 in order to solve to the large file issue and still cannot manage to copy a 4.3 Gig Iso file onto a DNS323 with 200 Gig left.

If I am the only one one in that case, then there must be something I have to change in my config, and  I would really thank anyone who was in the same trouble and managed to fix it successfully if she/he could share the tip here.

But telling this issue is not repported (by who ?) to be an issue with XP does not help at all because it is in fact an issue in my case. Telling how to fix it, this would be the perfect answer.

In advance, thanks a million to all the contributors of this forum who provide with lot of knowledge and balance the lack of support from the D-LINK Cie.

Dear Fordem
I do not understand your replies to my post.
I am asking for some help, and I may be wrong, but so far you did not provide with any usefull answer  to solve the issue I have (and maybe  waldpiek and peachfuzz163 and others have too). Then why do you need to start arguing? What do you need to write I made a"statement"?

The trouble I have is I cannot copy a 4.5 Gig iso file on my DNS323 even with the firmware 1.03 and I am on win XP SP2.
This is only a fact, not a statment. The statment is in the wiki and in your replies: "Some reports indicates that this is not an issue with Windows XP".

Let me quote your replies :

"check the wiki for details, search the forum for a work around"
"you didn't "read all the forum"
"Bottom line - D-Link says the 2GB problem was fixed in v1.03"
"If you'd like to report it as not fixed - then either pick up the phone and call D-Link tech support or head over to their website and email them."

Do you realize it does not help at all. I am not here to argue with you. You happen to not have this issue, lucky you. I happen to have this issue. You can help me, I am listening and would be very happy if you could help. If not, could you please let someone try to help because I do have currently this issue, and maybe some others have it too.  I believe this place is the best place to find and share some answers with other users.

And please, be kind to spare your very unpleasent last remark regarding asking for D-Link support which is almost non-existent in my country: believe it or not, the current firmware on France D-Link website is 1.01b18 released on October 2006, and the only answer I got  to my questions to the support team was to go to the web site, because everything thing was there and they were not aware of any issue at all.

To finish, I will stop replying to you except to thank you for any help you would provide if any. I found your last replies very agressive and  I really think some previous post were not justified and then I will not contribute anylonger to this waste of time for all the readers.

It seems to me also that fw1.03 is, indeed, broken (or at least, my recently installed fw 1.03 from the swedish DLink support site).

More specifically, the samba support seems broken.

Tests (fw1.03, 2 disks, ext2, mounted RAID 1):

Enabled telnet using method specified on wiki, also enabled the ftp server.

Made three files on my home linux box, of sizes 1.5, 3.0 and 5.0G, using 'dd', containing random bytes from /dev/urandom.

Samba:
Mounted the DNS323 on my home linux box using smbmount:

smbmount //<ip-addr>/Volume_1 /home/steve/remote_mounts/dns323

This worked (I could see, read and write small files just fine).

cp bigfile1.5G /home/steve/remote_mounts/dns323

worked, BUT:

cp bigfile3G /home/steve/remote_mounts/dns323
cp bigfile5G /home/steve/remote_mounts/dns323

both failed (File size limit reached)

On the other hand, I could transfer all three of these files via the FTP account, and all showed up in a DNS323 telnet session just fine, with the correct sizes (according to 'ls -lah').

I then went back and checked the reported sizes of the successfully transferred files visible via the SMB mount on my linux box. Files 'bigfile3G' and 'bigfile5G' were reported by the command

ls /home/steve/remote_mounts/dns323

as having insanely large sizes (reminiscent of an integer overflow).

So it seems now that either my samba client (3.0.10-1.fc1.1.legacy) or the fw1.03 Samba server is very badly broken.

If I wanted to go back to a safe fw1.02x, which should I use?

A quick comparison of these firmware indicates that they are exactly the same:

$ md5sum dns-se/NAS202B_DLINKEu_DNS323.1.03b41\(1.03.0330.2007\)
23c3a2c5541075b501801f3a1f85657a  dns-se/NAS202B_DLINKEu_DNS323.1.03b41(1.03.0330.2007)
$ md5sum dns-us/dns323_firmware_103
23c3a2c5541075b501801f3a1f85657a  dns-us/dns323_firmware_103

Srk, as you have telnet access could you post a uname -a from your box?

You need to mount with -o lfs to get "large file support". See my tests below:

smbfs mount:

cp 1002_20040313200000_20040313222500.nuv /mnt/
