So I take it when you reboot the machine the ffp folder doesn't show up?  Seems like you said, the file isn't executing.  My drives are formatted in ext2 maybe that has something to do with it? Not sure.

Well, I just copied the two files to Volume_1 and restarted it from the menu, ffp is loaded and running.  I'm not sure what you're doing wrong, it was painless. :)

Oh, my drives are formatted EXT2 and I'm running RAID-1 on the box.

Mine are also formatted ext2 and in Raid1.

What would happen if I pulled out my 2 1tb drives that are in it now, and put in 2 clean 120gb drives and do a whole new install?

Would I lose my data when I try to put the 1tb drives back in after the test? Or does that .bootstrap folder hold all the settings for the NAS and therefore everything would be back to normal when I replace the drives?

Reason I would like to try it on my two 120gb drives is to do a complete fresh install and see if that works. If it does I will need to do a lot of data shifting lol.

Thanks guys for all your help so far, let me know what you think.

I'm not entirely sure what happens in this case, I've thought about doing that for some experiments as well. :)  I'll wait until someone that has actually done this comments.

Hey guys,
I followed the steps in http://nas-tweaks.net/CH3SNAS:Tutorials/fun_plug as well and it worked for me, I was able to telnet (and later disable it) and got ssh running on the DNS-321.  Now the question is what do you want to do after that? I meant over and above the provided servers (ftp, uPnP, itunes etc.)

Personally, I eventually want to have a web server running, I'm just frying other fish right now. :)

lighttpd from ffp does its job, I got it running and it's cool. I might try to load apache (or write/find a ligth version) to handle mutliple websites.  I start to like the DNS-321 with its all-in-one ftp/web server capabitilies (with tweaks), so far it saves me a linux box to put to some other uses.

I just don't want a full computer sitting there running 24/7, so I figure that running my little web page on the NAS would be a better option.

It depends, the DNS-321 has 14VDC, 7.89A therefore consumes about 110watts, my linux box has a small PS consuming only 60watts.  So if we talk about electrical bills, the linux box beats the DNS-321 in terms of both functionality and $.

You are looking at the max rating of the P/S and assuming that is the power consumption.  Nothing could be farther from the truth. ;)

My DNS-321 uses between 5-6 watts in standby, and 15 watts with both disks being accessed.  I'm not sure how you managed to come up with that kind of P/S, both the DNS-321 and DNS-323 ship with a dual-rail P/S 12V/3A and 5V/3A.  I don't know what you have, but it's sure not a stock DNS-321 P/S!  ::)

What....lol.

7.89A? The only device that runs that is the DNS-343. Even then I don't think the device is consuming 110 watts of power...

well, last I checked your site it's the same spec (DC14V, 7.89A)
ftp://ftp10.dlink.com/pdfs/products/DNS-321/DNS-321_ds.pdf

ok, I will go home and pull the P/S out of the closet to really look, sorry for any misunderstanding since I quoted what dlink has on website vs what I have as PS.

I have not only checked the actual P/S on my DNS-321, I have also connected it to my power monitor and actually measured the real power consumption in standby and active operation. ;)

The data sheet does indeed have that oddball specification on it, I have no idea what that's about, since it's not even close to reality. :D

Thanks, John, I trust you and now stand corrected, the DNS-321 with 15watts is decent and certainly beats my linux box and I am happy.  You are now upgraded to GuruJohn  ;)
