At the very least, I think it's safe to assume that the changes described in the firmware version 1.02b03 release notes are incorporated into this official release.
-
so nothing from your great list? :)

It's unclear whether this firmware is a promotion of firmware v1.02b03 to "official release" status or if other features/fixes were also included. ???

I've just updated to 1.02 release.
When I try to mount the Volume_1 drive to my OSx Lion I obtain the same error than before:
"There was a problem connecting to the Server <DNS-name or IP>. Check the server name or IP address, then try again. ..."
Why this happens ?!? ??? ??? ???
PS: instead, with this release it's solved the Time Machine problem, so I'm able to connect to my NAS by this way... the problem is SAMBA connection with NAS, that doesn't work well (as before). Do you know why?

Was hoping it might now let me install squeezecentre but i just get a new error message now
"install failed. please check file"
:D :D :D :D

I have the same issue while installing add-ons ... any clue on when this will be addressed ?
-
i just dont get why an great NAS like DNS-325 doesnt have the support and development behind it from D-Link. It really is a shame because there are so many things that can be done but there is no interest.
I am really regretting my choice. i should have continued saving up and buying a synology with a kick ass interface and android app!
-
I also should have opted for a Synology
-
Time drift is fixed!!! Now my Squeezeboxes show the right time...

I have run into a big issue with FW 1.02 Official Release. I have 2 drives in my DNS-325, a Western Digital Green 500 gigabyte WD5000AADS (not an advanced cache version) and a Western Digital 400 gigabyte WD4000AAKS hard drive. Drives are installed as individual disks, no RAID, no JBOD. Under 1.01 release and all of the 1.02 betas, both drives functions properly.
With 1.02 release, however, something has happened. Only the WD5000AADS drive will mount, and the WD5000AADS shows up in the SMART Test dialog in both drive slots, but only the position that corresponds to where the drive is physically installed can be selected for testing. In addition, if I turn the device off and re-seat the hard drives, the device seems to have about a 50% chance of not recognizing any drives until I re-boot and re-seat the drives into their slots again.
I have tried hard resetting the device, resetting the device through the web gui, and I've tried swapping out the drives between the left and right bay with out it changing the behavior I'm experiencing.
In addition to this issue, the firmware update to 1.02 appears to be permanent. I was unable to downgrade the firmware back to the functional 1.01 version or the 1.02 beta version. So, at the moment, I'm left with a less than functional device after upgrading to 1.02 release.
I have not contacted D-Link tech support yet, but that is my next step.
-
...the firmware update to 1.02 appears to be permanent. I was unable to downgrade the firmware back to the functional 1.01 version or the 1.02 version.
Correct. Once firmware v1.02 is installed, there is no way to regress to an earlier version. D-Link says this is an intentional feature (not a bug). The latest version of the DNS-320 firmware shares similar behavior.
-
Nonetheless, that was a strategic decision D-Link thought was necessary for the DNS-320 and DNS-325. Unfortunately, no reason was provided for this move.

Does anyone know what the extension for the 25.9 MB firmware update file should be ?
When I download it from ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Multimedia/dns325/Firmware/dns325_FW_102
it doesn't have an extension. I've tried zip and rar, but when I try to decompress it, I get
"The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"
Thanks

Try downloading the firmware from the D-Link Taiwan website here: http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/
Navigate to "DNS-325" using the dropdown menus and download the file titled: Firmware:DNS-325 A1 F/W 1.02(for WW). (WW stands for "worldwide")

Looks like a raw binary to me. Just DL it from FTP site and UL it to DNS-325

The UPS support is very unfortunate and not working for me at all.
I have the APC Back-UPS ES BE550 (one of the 3 officially supported UPS models) and my testing with the NAS behaviour with this UPS yielded the following results:
1) UPS remaining charge and status are reported correctly on System Info page, until UPS has battery power to keep USB connection alive. Once UPS shuts USB down shortly before switching the load off completely, the UPS status display disappears from the Info page. During that the USB LED blinks rapidly on NAS front.
2) The NAS makes no reaction to diminishing UPS charge whatsoever! I.e the NAS will not run a controlled shutdown even if the UPS charge has been depleted. This will result in sudden termination once the UPS switches off at 0% charge left!
The latter fact voids the complete idea of having a UPS in the first place!
On the same topic: a notification on switchover to battery power would be welcome, this would at least give a 30-minute window to shut the NAS down remotely.

@JavaLawyer: I tried downloading from the taiwanese site and I get the same file.
@priitv8: You might be right. It's probably a raw binary file that I then have to upload to the DNS-325
Thank You all

That's correct. After downloading locally to your PC, upload via the web interface. You don't need to concern yourself with the extension (or lack thereof).

I have the APC Back-UPS ES BE550 (one of the 3 officially supported UPS models) and my testing with the NAS behaviour with this UPS yielded the following results:
Got it working. In short, the problem seems to be rooted in 2 things:
1) Mandatory clause of at least 1 monitored UPS missing in /usr/local/ups/etc/upsmon.conf
(see "UPS DEFINITIONS" in http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/upsmon.html (http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/upsmon.html))
2) upsmon daemon (http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/upsmon.html) - UPS monitor and shutdown controller - not running (will not start due to config error in 1)
To remedy, command-line access is needed. For me the fonz fun-plug worked.
What I did was simply to add the following lines at the end of Volume_1/fun_plug script:
echo "MONITOR usbhid 1 root 123 master" >> /usr/local/ups/etc/upsmon.conf
upsmonBasically, D-Link could have defined all 4 possible upses (usbhid, bcmxcp, megatec and tripplite as set in /usr/local/ups/etc/ups.conf) to be monitored on, here.

No smartphone support on the DNLA
This will also affect samsung Smart Tv's using the Allshare App
It will see the file but will not play
On Android smart phones and Tablets the same it see's the file but will not play it
the DNS 320 plays them fine
I got the DNS 325 to replace a seagate peace of junk but that did play fine
Oh this effects every thing movies and music and pictures Via Dnla
FTP works fine

Распаковал прошил 1.02. Почему в нем не установлен нужный софт о котором написано в описании? Ужасное изделие .Работает медленно. Видео просмотреть не могу!

I made an effort to translate your question (google translate). Did you unzip the firmware prior to installing? Did you receive an error while trying to install the firmware?

Извлек устройство из коробки и сразу обновил софт до1.02. Приложения ставятся только версией 2.0. Плагин воспроизведения видео не устанавливается. Скачал файл по предложеной ссылке,ставил архивом,неставится. Распаковав архив папка имеет большое содержимое и много файлов,что установить нельзя. Как воспроизвести видео? Как научить кулер включатся при заданой температуре?
