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

As of me I would vote for packaging system (ipkg). Unfortunately there isn't any uclibc-arm feeds available. But since nslu2-linux optware already supports uclibc-mipsel then there is high chance that you can compile uclibc-arm based feeds by just replacing toolchain and some architecture parameters.

Alternatively it is possible to use also OpenWrt buildroot

I might try this with uclibc-powerpc (for DSM-G600) because I don't have DNS-323 and probably don't get any chance to buy one.

Hi!

I just attached USB drive to DNS-323 box and tried to mount it but without success because my drive was formatted as reiserfs... So, one additional feature would be to have reiserfs support.

I wonder.. could this now be implemented for floating-point speed improvement ?!:

The benchmark for floating point index here was just (0.031):

( could this fix it ?! ) - the article seems to indicate 1000-2000% (x10 to x20) performance increases!

Also, I wonder which applications this might speed..
best, all

DNS-323 as an ISCSI target ?

http://www.ardistech.com/iscsi/

Can it be done ?

- syslog-capabilities (also for external devices)
- working ftp-client
- working lighttpd with ssl/pcre
- mysql (well...)

Shait. Disregard. I have a DSM-600, not a 323. Where's the wishlist for that one?

I'm not familiar with Newsgroup Readers on linux, but it would sure be nice to be able to drop a NZB file, have it download & compile the posts and then unrar/unzip the final output.  If anyone knows of a decent linux news reader I would like to here about it.

Update: Well... I found a news reader Hellanzb that looks like it might work

would love to use the 323 as a proxy .. but thats just me (found nothing on here or on the internet to allow this). AND OR

have the 323 present itself as an iSCSI device .. again, big benefits

was the point to this thread to see if anyone will 'compile' some of the features we want? or we just venting?

Nowadays my computers at home are exclusively Apple Macs. Having your laptop computer automatically (re-)connect to a shared network volume when you come home is increadibly easy if you have an Airport Extreme base station - thanks to the combination of Bonjour and Airport Disk Utility.

I think it would be feasible to replicate this behavior for the DNS-323. The "only" thing we'd need to do is get some mdns transponder daemon run on the unit and publish an SRV with service type _adisk._tcp and parameters that corresponds to the shares configured.

Here's a snippet of what the discovery process looks like from the zeroconf perspective, manually performing a looking up of "TheVolumeLabel" announced by "TheAirportAPName":
