just something to tell you the 323 uses ext2/3 rather than fat/ntfs. it strengths include not being easily fragmented so there is almost no need defragment.

I use the Singtel 2wire modem router (2Wire 2701HGV-E)...

you must unmount the device before you can use the e2fsck to scan/repair the info on the disk.

I am using default firmware running Raid 1 without funplug or transmission. am i still able to use e2fsck.

How do I go about scanning the disk?

check yr static ip.. could be wrong?

perhaps firewall is realli blocking.

perhaps u want to go into the configuration of the DNS.. and dun put admin and password first.

see if u can sucssfully map.. if can... then u redo the a/c

Just bought my DNS323 from the last Comex with 2 pcs 500GB seagate.
formatted to run raid 1 for 400G and balance JOBOD.
Every thing behaved ok til a week back and noticed that the left hand side drive LED have turned "pink" ( the right side ones remain blue )
Upon accesing the drive the LED return to blue.
I can still access the data in the DNS.

it will return to pink after a while of inactivity.

Is there somthing gonna happen to my drive?

Thanks

I'll check the "degraded" when I go home later.

read from some where that 1.05 Firmware helps....

Thanks for the quick reply.

Checked, it does show degraded.
