I also like the RSYNC style DRY RUN option.  Of course this would require a LOG FILE that could be specified so you could make sure the DRY RUN option was working.  Without the dry run option you can really mess up the files if your not careful (and if it's 2T worth of data this can be several days worth of repair).  The log file comes in handy for other things as well, I make a separate log file for each day of the week.  Below is a example of my RSYNC file;

rsync -aiH8 --stats --delete "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Data Backup" "/mnt/HD/HD_b2" >/mnt/HD/HD_a2/rsynclog/rsync.last$(date "+%u").log

of course adding the -n option would add the dry run.

So I'm suggesting adding a DRY RUN options and a LOG FILE option with it keeping at least the last 7 logs.

JawaLawyer do you think we'll get another firmware update? We waited for a year now and it seems kinda quiet with the firmware releases.

I'm getting a feeling that I bought the product "as is" without any support from developers.....

I'm hopeful for another FW upgrade. . . we're in the same boat as I have two units myself.  I routinely check for updates and do see some activity.

Firmware 1.02b05

NAS says Firmware Date 02/27/2013. The previous one 1.02b04 was from january 2013. Who know what's happening? Does those d-link coders still use dial-up to upload firmwares from secret underground bunker?

I can validate that the software has been around for some time undergoing a battery of internal QA testing prior to release. I can't say whether the time stamp reflects the actual build date or why the two dates you're referencing aren't in sync.

Please add a watchdog process to make sure any software hangs or lockups don't disable the NAS.

I recently did a remote reboot and the NAS just locked up with NO FAN! Needless to say, I came back on site and the unit was extremely hot, luckily there was no damage. Typically the processor should have a hardware watchdog facility built in, if not then either a software watchdog or just default the fan speed to high on any system change before its set and immediately change it back on confirmation. This would at least guarantee the unit is getting some airflow in the event the system locks up.
