The Faststone DriveClone Pro included in the DNS323 package seems have serious compatible issue with the Win7 home premium.It crash the system twice and need to restore the sys image use back the OS sys restore. The driveclone pro also cannot backup the OS image to the network DNS as stated,for the home premium, is it true?

 

[Errz]

my DNS-323 failed, how can i access the Raid 1 configured drive?

someone mention a software b4 but was on the PC show category and its gone now

 

[duffy]

is it this http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html ?

 

[tekster]

may i check with you experts out there.

if i shut down my nas and replace 1 drive with same capacity, what will happen?

eg hdd a, hdd b and hdd c, 320gb hdd. mirroring raid.
i remove hdd b and put in hdd c.

will the NAS auto-reformat hdd c and then copy all the data from hdd a?

You have to enable the auto rebuild function first in the config. before replacing HDD in raid mirror.

 

[duffy]

is the new WD Advanced Format works with this for mirroring raid?

was looking at the EARS version

any suggestions?

Hi,

How do i do emule downloads?

 

[SaDnEsS82]

Hi all,

Can anyone provide guidedance on how to get Transmission working?
Been trying for the pass three days to no avail..

Sadly, I'm a total stranger to Linux. Hence, kindly list explaination in layman terms.

I am trying to get it working with Transmission-remote as a GUI to view the torrents.

Files installed:

Funpkg 0.5
Transmission-2.01-1.tgz
curl-7.18.1.tgz

At first the torrents auto paused itself after downloading for a few seconds.
The error returned was No space left

After creating a new folder using 'mkdir' and setting it as a download folder, the error return saying permission denied /home/nobody/torrent name...

I am able to login using web interface, thru SSH and using Transmission Remote UI.

I also tried uninstallation and reinstallation with restarting of the NAS
Now when I try to uninstall, it echoed Transmission-2.01-1.tgz already installed


Please help.

I suggest u reformat the drive if possible then restart following the guide by thread starter one by one.
http://www.shadowandy.net/2009/01/transmission-142-for-dns-323.htm/comment-page-4#comment-15703

Then come back here again for help should work.
Also don't change the default folder. I tried and finally give up once u change u cannot solve the permission part...keep returing the "no permission error" can see my previous post.

 

[SaDnEsS82]

Thank you very much Bieffe.

I guess I really messed up the syntax. The formating of the hard disk along with the guide provided help.

Although it took me about 30mins trying to figure out how to set a password again as I was previously using a different guide.

All work fine now. Thanks again for your help.


Another question that hopefully anyone here can help?

Is there any other way to secure the device or set up the security?

Welcome...how abt u tell me how u set the password to make it work.
Say the new folder I created is "party".
How to make it permission granted? Once I change the defaulf folder it say "permission denied"....very fruss.

 

[SaDnEsS82]

The password settings that I was referring to was the request for password by Transmission when I tried to access it via internet browsers.

Judging from what I done and your issue, I try to make sense out of this command line posted on Transmission client

transmission-remote 127.0.0.1 -w /mnt/HD_a2/transmission-downloads

so if i am not wrong, your solution might be:

$ cd /mnt/HD_a2/
$ sh /ffp/start/transmission.sh start -> start transmission if it has not been started yet
$ transmission-remote 127.0.0.1 -w /mnt/HD_a2/party --> using -w to give write access
A message return saying ...... sucess

If you still have issues like "Access denied", or "invalid folder". Do this:

$ /ffp/start/transmission.sh stop (wait a while after this)
$ chown -R nobody /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon --> this provides read access to username 'nobody'
$ chown -R nobody /mnt/HD_a2/party --> this provides read access to username 'nobody' for your folder

I'm a total noob at this so I'm not sure if that works. But I hope this can help you out.

Quite sian le... this 323

doesn't support - DNS-323 does not support Western Digitals new Desktop disk drives with Advanced Formatting Technology.

but nowadays.. all WD all come with the Advance formating tech right?
