NASLite Network Attached Storage

I been looking on line to see if there is a way to set the BIOS up to work with this. But I read this



It was from here.

I guess the new Linux is knows how to use this. At lest NASLite-2 HDD is the 1st thing I ran in on this motherboard that did not work.

I guess if some how could set up Compatibility mode in the boot block it could get it to work. I guess just sending one byte to the CPU.

Looks like there is no way to set it up in the BIOS to work. Just have to wait for the next NASLite-2 I guess.

Wile I am waiting the the next NASlite-2 HDD I am using FreeNAS. I had to format it in ext2 so ubuntu could see them both.

I did this copy command to copy NASlite-2 CDD to FreeNAS



It's taking a long time to copy but looks like it works.

I took this photo how I have it set up to copy.



It's home is under a shelf. I have 3 S hooks holding up the small case and you can see how the hard drive mounts under the shelf with the brakets I made.

It's a green type 750GB hard drive. It stays very cool and I can't even hear it running!

I love to have NASLite CDD working on it. But intill it does I will run it like this.

O yes. With ubuntu it was so easy to set up the hard drives. I just had to go under places click the hard drive icons, it had them by the hard drive name and then it put them on the desktop.

I went in the Terminal and did a df command it list the hard drives like this:

/dev/sda1 66% /media/NASLite-SE000121
/dev/sdb1 1% /media/750GB

That is how I know how to type the copy command.

With help here I found out about how to copy the hard drive other Ethernet to another NASLite system. That's what I want to do if MASLite-M2 works in this system. It takes a lot less power then what I have my NASLite-2 CDD on now.

I can not test this out now but looks like it would be just what I like to do. To copy would telnet to my NASLite-2 CDD and pick:

3 - Storage Configuration

0 - Disk-0, IDE-0-0-0-0

9 - Mirror to Disk-0 [ NONE ]

If I set it up right the [ NONE ] would say were it would copy it to. The IP/Disk/time.

I guess there is some rsync could use on Linux to copy too. But I have not found out what it would be.

O yes. The copy to FreeNAS worked. But I had to format it in a way Ubuntu knows. But FreeNAS said it did not work with that format to good. When it copied it all over some files were not listed. It I went to copy the missing ones over it said it was all ready there. So it was real messed up. I gave up on FreeNAS and put Ubuntu Server on it now till NASLite works with it some day I hope.

Well looks like I am all set to know how to do this.

When NASLite M2 comes out. I hope it works in my system. Then in it I set up the mirror to copy from my NASLite-2 CDD.

I had to copy the files back from a ubuntu server. I wanted to get the same chmod number NASLite does. So I just made a little file and saved it to NASLite then when I mounted it in ubuntu. I did a chmod the same number on all it's files with a -R in the command.

I found out I could not open any file then on ubuntu server. So I just chmod them again to 777. But I had them copied to my NASLite CDD and I could not open them ether. The mirror only copied the folders no files.

Mounted the NASLite CDD hard drive back on ubuntu server but it would not let me change them to 777. I could not find a command to let me do it. So I just copied it all over again. This time I hooked the NASLite CDD to a USB to IDE converter. That way I did not have to take the systems all apart again.

It worked real good. I used the rsync command on ubuntu server like this:

rsync -av /usr/share/disk-0 /root/naslite

To bad can use rsync from ubuntu to NASLite. Seems it just wants to use port 22. Or I just don't know how to use rsync good.
