NASLite Network Attached Storage

I could test this out and see, but then I risk losing the data I already have stored.

If I have a box running with NASLite-FTP - can I reboot it using a NASLite-SMB disk and use the box as a Samba server with all the data intact, or will it need to re-configure the drive.

My need is to run the FTP share, but I only need to do that occasionally, so I thought that if I could run the box as SMB the rest of the time it would be great.

I understand the floppy only holds one at a time. I'm fine with rebooting the machine to switch roles, I just want to know if the data is interchangeable between them. (ie. upload something to the FTP server - reboot as SMB and access it via share)

As I said, I could just try it ... but I don't want to risk messing up the disk that already has data.

Thanks.

What you are thinking of doing is perfectly acceptable. As a matter of fact, NASLite was designed with that in mind. Theoretically you should have no problem using NASLite-SMB on a data drive populated via NASLite-FTP
