Hi,
I am looking for a device that will connect my existing
NTFS formatted, 400GB external drive to our home
LAN and have room for a second, 1TB or larger, drive
someday. The NSLU2 is interesting but between the
support person I just chatted with and various tidbits
on the web I am no clearing on what the NSLU2 can
or cannot do, with or without third party software.
My understanding is that the NSLU2 will read NTFS
drives but not write them. It is unclear what UNSLUNG
and OPENSLUG can do. Do any have full NTFS
read/write support? The NSLU2 does have full FAT32
support. Is anybody here using that?
The stock NSLU2 has a 250GB per disk size limit.
Do either UNSLUNG or OPENSLUG support more,
such as 1TB?
Are there any gating problems with XP or Vista firewalls?
(There are always problems with firewalls not all are
showstoppers).
Thanks,
Gary |

Consider a scrapped machine with almost any Linux mounted. You
don't need, or want, the whole GUI interface. It can probably do
without a screen also.

Hi,
we use it at my work. I not configured it personally but i got all info from
here:
http://www.andreabeggi.net/2007/01/02/linksys-nslu2/ Of course it is in
italian language but it says:
1) update its firmware to use fat32 and ntfs partitions from:
http://tinyurl.com/mrmnm or here
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Download_C2&childpagename...%2FLayo
2) Then http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/HomePage give to you Telnet
and SSH facility;
3) here there are all info for new addon
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/FirmwareMatrix
I hope this would help you.

The NSLU2 can both read and write NTFS when you apply the latest
firmware update. I got one myself on my home LAN. One thing about it
though... it is very slow to do both... Writes and reads with about
4-5 Mb per sec. Don't know if it is my system only that behaves like
that. I have vista on both my computers and xp on my laptop.

Linux and NTFS? Not a good combination.

What size disk? First she told me my 400GB disk would work then
that there is a 250GB limit per port. Speed might or might not be
a problem. This might just be stop-gap until a good, affordable
network drive is available. Every alternative I've seen is either
over $1K or has bad reviews.

Linux has drivers today that can handle NTFS for both read and
write. No further problem.

I got a 120 GB USB 2.0 hard drive connected to my NSLU2. Frankly I
don't know if there's any limit when it comes to the size of the hard
drive.

I use the NSLU2 as a cheap video file server (editing and post
production, not streaming) and found that you can use NTFS, but it's
slow and hangs often. You're best committing to EXT3, formatting your
drive(s) and setting up local and remote access.
Moving large files and giving people access to them is then pretty
simple. There is also a way for windows machines to read ext3,
although it's experimental, but it does work. http://www.fs-driver.org/.
So if you need to plug in drives directly you can do that also.
The unit can take some setting up though, expect to get your hands
dirty. >> Stay informed about: Linksys NSLU2, NTFS, UNSLUNG and OPENSLUG |
