If I had known this, I wouldn't have bought the Dlink, would have got the conceptronic with proper nfs support in the first place. Disappointed.

Nowhere did we state that this device came with NFS support. It has been a user request and we have been working on adding it. Due to the age of the DNS-323 hardware it is difficult to update certain elements of the NAS when you are only working with 8mb of flash space. We will continue to work on adding this feature for our customers but there are some much needed enhancements and other benefits to the release of 1.08 which should not postpone its release.

erm can i assume something major came up and the firmware is unable to be release this month?

Yes, there will be another release soon that will need to be verified. Sorry for the let down =\.

I actually do agree with this statement, i think all of us should agree that there are limitations to certain
functions that we would like it to have, but also must understand that the dns323 is an old product, and
some new functions may not be capable on running on the 323.

I bought the DNS-323 knowing that NFS was not supported at the time, but also knowing (having read this forum) that there was to be a new firmware 1.08 which would have support. I hope that you will find a way to implement that soon.

Regardless of the device age, its impossible for any company to engineer/produce a product and accommodate every single wish a consumer makes.

Since a device like this isnt designed to be mission critical (and its priced accordingly), i would suggest thinking twice about pointing the finger at devs becuase the device is missing components found in larger more exspensive solutions made for a commercial enviroment.  your collection will stream just fine over samba on your nix box if u really want to set it up.

I am personally very happy d-link has chosen to continue software development on this product, and I will be happy with any of the features the next release brings.


so...  thank you d-link.

i'm just happy d-link is continuing to upgrade the firmware on this unit and not going to a new model. I'm getting way more features out of it than when i bought it.

Thanks D-Link for not abandoning the current model in favor of newer hardware!!

I second that.

Eager to test new beta fw!

[abeNdorg]

Yes, thank you D-link for continuing to support this model. Comparing other home nas products I saw those manufactures pretty much abandoned them, continual development is what finally convinced me to go with this unit. Only thing I can ask for is for the unit to go idle properly this this beta 108, but that is a different post.

Thanks again!

The unit goes "idle" with all of the firmware releases, including the 1.08 beta - if yours does not, then you need to examine your environment to determine what is either keeping your unit awake, or awakening it after it goes idle.  A good place to start is by disconnecting the network cable to see if the cause is internal to the unit or external.

[armaniexchange]

Well i just hope the firmware 1.08 isnt too long a wait. Since it has already pass the previously mention date.

D-Link Multimedia,

I'm not overly worried about time line, and do not mind the move to add NFS support to a future release.  NFS is something I'm waiting for, but I'd rather have it working properly and would hate to see it delay the other important fixes that the next release will have.  I do want to say thanks for the hard work, and big thanks for allowing us owners/users an opportunity to run beta releases and provide feedback of upcoming firmware. :-)

Nuked.

...your collection...

Speak for yourself and do not make your filthy assumptions about others!

[Lycan]

Keep it clean guys.


Thanks

Hi all

Getting back to the point of this thread... tech can you give an updated release date for the new firmware. You had said July, then that it may be pushed to this week and given that it's not here yet and that releases aren't done on a Friday I can assume it won't be this week either.

Thanks

Jamie

[armaniexchange]

Oh yes, back to the thread. An updated date release of the new firmware would be GOOD! When will it be?

[jeremy]

Also, any word on how the NFS implementation is facing up?
