Thanks for addition, when will the wishlist become a firmware update ?

Thanks for addition, when will the wishlist become a firmware update ?

The wishlist contains firmware suggestions provided by the forum community and may not reflect actual changes to current or future D-Link firmware releases. D-Link does visit these boards, so they are aware of the items/concerns that are important to the user community. The more visibility we provide as to what needs to be improved, the greater the likelihood of suggestions making their way into future firmware releases.

Attention!

I agree with lots of folks here just waiting and waiting and enthusiastically adding suggestions. Waiting for close to 1 and a half year to release major fixes, additions to the current firmware but no luck, NEARLY NOTHING HAPPENS. Certainly all the requests could not be served as the processing capacity of this device could not serve them all properly but if I check the strike out items in the latest firmware it seems ridiculous for more than a year. Please ensure to release FW soon and at least comment all the items and suggestions with a note that could/will be added or never be added, etc. Such a big firm as DLINK at least should provide answers for the recommendations from many of us trying to develop their Dlink product.

Best Regards,
Brown

These firmware wishlists are provided and maintained by the D-Link forum member community to raise awareness for what the community wants for each product. Lists such as this one do not represent official task lists for future firmware updates. As I've said in the past, D-Link does visit this forum and does review the content, but there is no guarantee on what will be delivered.

Wishlist Items Addressed by D-Link (Thank you!)

• [Bug] General - CPU utilization often hangs at 100% although no process intensive services seem to be running [FIXED!]

hi all,

i found the transfer rate from HDD to usb drive/HDD were extremely slow if compare with pc.
And unable to use the copy to option in the webUI (this can only be done from usb to hdd)

[adamski]

I am a volunteer moderator on this forum, not a D-Link employee (i.e. my response is not that of D-Link). As such, I volunteer to follow-through and escalate user issues when I have time -- also keep in mind that I monitor many other D-Link product lines in this Forum. My own benchmark for escalating issues is based on two factors: severity and number of impacted users. For severe issues, I look for at least three occurrences to illustrate to D-Link that the issue is in fact real (not user error) and has the potential for widespread impact.

Well, a quick search online will help you realize how many are having this problem, and that no solutions are provided (aside from formatting and starting from scratch).

I am also affected by this. Had faulty (DOA) drive, switched it, now in a rebuild/degraded loop, although both drives are brand new, same model (WD Red 3TB) and pass all tests I throw at them.

Being able to rebuild a RAID after a failure is *THE PRRIMARY CORE* functionality of ANY >1-disk NAS. It MUST NOT fail. Otherwise, what's the point in having a RAID in the first place? If you really have the power of escalating this, please do.

I think that the main problem with all D-link firmwares (not only the last one), is the complete inconstitency of the data rights management, which does provide different acces right depending on the protocol that you use then accessing to the NAS.

If you know a little bit about unix, this can be easily fixed using:
- unix groups (or whatever group management with pam.d, but /etc/group should suffice for most needs)
- proper use of unix protections (s right on directories e.g.)
- knowledge of config file (smb.conf file content is appealing, with all umask to 0777 !!!)

The use of 777 (drwxrwxrwx) "protection" on all directories is heretic !!!!

This is what you see then I ssh-connect on my NAS: (burk, I nearly fainted)

% ssh NAS-Pey
jls@NAS-Pey:~$ ls -la /mnt/HD/HD_a2

This is quite easy to do a mistake and erase all data....

These are mainly 5 R/W protocols provided by the NAS:
- ssh                         -> relies on user+group unix rights management
- http(s) + php/cgi      -> relies on group unix management (some setuid should help, I didn't reverse-ingeneeringed it)
- CIFS                       -> relies on smb.conf file, then user_group rigths
- WebDav                  -> same than http(s)
- FTP                        -> relies on user+group unix rights management

Plus:
- multimedia (uPnP, iTUnes) -> read only (not really a pb)

At the moment, the ssh access (which is very convenient to use, using rsync e.g.) allows you to access to everything on the NAS (and is poorly protected, you only need the 57*****64 code to break the protection).

Please D-link, hire a "security concerned" linux sysadmin and take few hours to solve the pb. It should be fixed in less than 2 days, you only need to manage a proper "basic unix rights + smb.conf + lighthttpd/setuid_scripts" consistency.


P.S.: I still love my DNS-320L NAS, a perfect NAS for my needs (and very easily hackable.... you can really do what you want with this equipment)
