Hi:
I copied around 7GB worth of files to NASLite v2.03, and discovered that a couple of files showed differences (using "fc /b" in WinXP command shell) -- although file size matches. When I checked "SYSLOG" I found the following lines (see below) during startup (
prior to mounting the filesystem). There are NO errors or warnings in the syslog
after mounting of the filesystem.
What does "abnormal status" mean ? Would it have anything to do with the file differences ? Or is the abnormal status related to the unused SATA ports ? (Only one 2.5" 20GB drive is installed on IDE using 2.5"-to-3.5" converter.)
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Georg
