Indeed it had been that way. I think by now we got a good NAS out of it with the ability to keep up with new kernels release. That's just about I hope to get for a low cost plug.

@Ray, It is best that you have serial console connected first. But you can do without it, but be carefull. If you intend to install both new u-boot and rootfs then it is best to install both at the same time: prepare rootfs on USB stick, and then install new u-boot, and setup netconsole right away (if you don't have serial console connected), reboot with the new rootfs. There is no

Re: Realy bad Network speed on nsa320 & 325 or is this normal? - 11 years ago

Btw, rsync over nfs introduces more factors so it is not meaningful. I would use iperf to measure network speed separately, and then tune the xfer protocol.

hachigo, The info can be found in my thread about how to backup and restore NAND (it's in my signature): http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,16789,16789#msg-16789 Specific explanation: NAND block is 128K, so the 1st 1M of NAND contains block 0 to block 7. You bad block starts at 206, therefore they are way out of 1M.

Re: Linux Kernel 3.17 (FDT) and 3.16 (non-FDT) Kirkwood package and rootfs - 11 years ago

dharry, This GoFlex Net u-boot would work fine for a GoFlex Home plug. However, some functionalities are different enough that you should consider installing a proper GF Home u-boot and use the GF Home rootfs. For example, the LED light controll is different, and GoFlex Net does not have RTC but the GF Home does.
