I upgraded just fine! Tested the NFS server and the transfer is even faster but I still get the problems with it stopping. I think it's probably an issue with fuse on the client machine.

Will play around with the rest of the services in the week. Thanks for the upgrade!

Hi !

I just installed 9.0 beta a few days ago without a problem. Altho on ubuntu 11.10 you have to press 'u' in fdisk so you can specify cylinder start/end instead of sectors when creating the new partitions. I have the 2TB version, and fdisk (on ubuntu 11.10) does give a warming about the logical and physical sectors not being aligned. I didn't find a solution for that warning but ignoring it didn't give any problems except another warning that partition 8 is not properly aligned on a sector after creating it.

Those warnings have nothing to do with fvdw-sl, i suspect it has to do with the drive itself.
But it's safe to ignore those warnings, works like a charm and I didn't notice a performance degrade like the warning states.

Yesterday I upgraded to 10.0 via the Lacie firmware upgrade page and that also worked perfectly.
The only little scare was that after upgrading it didn't respond anymore.
But after unplugging and reconnecting the power it worked like a charm.

Everything I used so far seems to work, torrent, ftp, nfs, ssh

thanks for this feedback, much appreciate and glad to hear that it works well

@firwareslut, what is the read and write speed you achieve now with the new nfs server ?

This might happen if you installed 9-0 and never used the shutdown feature via the webinterface. There is a small change made when doing the shutdown via the webinterface that influences the way the nwsp2 will respond on a reboot or poweroff commands.
If this command is not run once then a reboot will cause that it switch off and as in 9-0 the power button is not implemented the only way to power it up is then unplugging and plugging the power again and press the power on button on the back for 2 seconds.

If you have done one time the reboot or shutdown via the webinterface then it should respond normally to a reboot.
In fvdw-sl-10-0 also the power button on the back will work.
Holding it for at least one second but less then 5 second and then release it will cause a reboot
Holding and releasing it after more then 5 seconds will cause a poweroff. After poweroff the nwsp2 can be brought back to life with a simple press and release on the power button.
