Hi,
What NAS do you use for firefly? I would like to take a survey on the following:
1. Model
2. Firmware
3. Unicode(UTF) file supportThis should result a buyer’s guide on NAS for running firefly.

I have (and use):
Linksys NLSU2, unslung 5.x (?), no utf
Linksys NLSU2, debonaras (debian sarge), no utf
Maxtor MSS II+, openmss 2.6.2 rc2, no utf
Linkstation HG, freelink 1.1 (debian sarge), no utfI use the NSLU2/unslung the most, as it’s the slowest machine I have and shows up memory leaks and slowdowns first. Like the canary in the coal mine.
As a nas, I like the linkstation the most.
18/12/2006 at 11:58 AM #7986Dave.BParticipantI have a NSLU2 running uNSLUng 5.5, still with the under-clocking resistor in place, although I have no complaints at all.
TBH – I have no idea whether I have UTF support or not. I didn’t install anything extra, so I guess not?18/12/2006 at 1:06 PM #7987CCRDudeParticipantFirst NAS was a Buffalo TeraStation, with a standard firmware just hacked (to get ssh access through Dropbear and to thus be able install Firefly). Tended to crash quite often though, and imho the Uboot loader wasn’t available back then and the box was needed for something else (may try Debian on the same machine at some later point).
Then I got myself a Buffalo Kurobox just to be a music NAS. Thanks to Debian, UTF-8 isn’t a problem (just had to set the locale). Speed is just fine (a bit slow for Slimserver, but very fast for Firefly).
18/12/2006 at 5:51 PM #7988masParticipant1) NSLU Linksys,de-underclocked
2) unslung 6.7
3) CP850, I hope. At least thats setup under the admin. There are some gotchas with names though18/12/2006 at 8:20 PM #7989CCRDudeParticipantCodepage 850 is not Unicode, far from it ๐
19/12/2006 at 1:23 AM #7990nivlacckwParticipantAs for myself
1)NSLU2
2)Debian/NSLU2 (etch)
3)utf8 enabled (thanks to debian ๐ )19/12/2006 at 9:47 PM #7991masParticipantI am not aware that there is any UTF for unslung yet so guess CP850 is the best I can get so far. Dont feel like reinstalling everything just to take a debonara.

To be frank, utf-8(unicode) is only for people who need to deal with different langs. ๐

2) debian (chrooted)
3) utf8 -
