Dear all,
I have been using a DNS-323 (Firmware Version 1.07) with different types of clients (a MacBook running Leopard 10.5.8, various Linux computers and even a Wii with MPlayer CE) and I am very satisfied.
There is one thing that bothers me though: deleting a file within a Mac application takes a lot of time. For example, I have my iPhoto library on the DNS-323 and deleting photos from iPhoto takes (about) 30s per photo! Once, I had to delete about 200 photos and I had to be very patient...
Anyone having the same problem and who has managed to come up with a solution?
Thanks.

A couple of quick questions...
1) Are you connecting to the DNS-323 via SMB?
2) Do you have fun_plug installed?
2a) If yes, have you tried installing AFP and Avahi?

1) Yes. The MacBook connects to the DNS-323 via SMB.
2) Yes. I do have fun_plug because I need Transmission.
3) No. After a few hours of fight, I am pleased to say that my DNS-323 runs AFP and Bonjour as provided by Netatalk and Avahi and everything is perfect now. I've detailed everything I did on my blog: http://www.noulakaz.net/weblog/2009/11/02/installing-avahi-and-afp-on-the-dns-323/ (http://www.noulakaz.net/weblog/2009/11/02/installing-avahi-and-afp-on-the-dns-323/)
Thanks! And thank you to all those who wrote all those documents found online which I followed to get everything working.

Glad to hear you got it running smoothly with AFP and Avahi. Both are running perfectly for me on my DNS-323 and DNS-343's.
