 Quality control? July 17, 2008

I bought one of these intending to install a custom firmware that would allow me to use it as a music server on the LAN and over the web. I got it up and running on my network with the standard firmware in no time, but when I switched it off in order to attach a disk drive, it failed to restart - all I got was the power light, none of the system LEDs would come on, and the thing didn't boot. Tried resetting, nothing worked.
I suspect it was a heat-related failure, even though it'd only run for about a half hour - I noticed when switching it off that the plastic casing was hot to the touch. There's little ventilation on the unit body.
My advice - avoid.
Great idea but just too slow July 9, 2008

Title says it all really - like every other NAS solution I've tried, it's just too slow to be practical.

Bought one of these second-hand but in mint-condition initially as a low-power, quiet RAID 1 network file/media server to hide in the loft.
Re-flashed it with Unslung but wanted more! So I went with Debian and now I have RAID 1 on two external 500GB USB drives, rTorrent thru simple folder access, MediaTomb for my PS3 and other media players, spin-down on the HDDs and the OS running on an old-ish 1GB USB stick that is hard-wired inside the unit. Other HW mods include doubling the CPU speed and auto-power up should the power fail.
To be honest, I've got this far with a lot of effort and pain (took 12 full re-installs of Debian before the RAID was successfully set up) and a lot of reading up and experimentation especially if you're a relatively newbie to Linux (like me) for tweaking scripts, recommended workarounds, using cunning partitioning and disabling logs to maximise HDD spin-down etc.
My conclusion - my setup uses around 26 watts - with spin-down it's probably less compared to the ~200W that my PC was taking when serving media files. Worth it if you can invest some time and effort to maximise the functionality and you want to be green.
 I'm sure it's wonderful, but... April 14, 2008

I'm sure it's wonderful, but the unit I have just received has a faulty ethernet port. It appeared to happily register the existence of either USB flash-drives and hard-drives, but no-matter which - of my numerous - switches and routers it was plugged into the little ethernet "connection" LED (on both the Nslu2 and the switches) remained blank and the Nslu2 was totally unreachable. This is strange as the Nslu2 /should/ report hardware faults by beeping, but this unit believed everything to be fine, it just refused to acknowledge it was connected to a network.
I hope the replacement unit works because this is potentially a fun little little network device.
UPDATE:
Replacement Nslu2 arrived from Amazon less than 12 hours after I reported the original unit as faulty. Top work Amazon!
Plugged the new Nslu2 unit into the network, powered it up, ethernet LED blinked into life, and in under 2 minutes (from opening the packaging) I'm configuring the unit from the web-interface. What a wonderful bit of kit!
Very clever bit of kit March 19, 2008

Having tried, unsuccessfully, to get the Iomega 500 Network hard drive to show itself on my small home network I was very relieved when this little box managed where others had failed. Yes it did need a little coaxing, and I am not an expert, but it was not difficult. I already had a Maxtor external hard drive and there was no problem pairing the two together. You should go to Linksys US web site for the latest firmware upgrade, (V2.3R63)which includes the ability to work with fat & ntfs disks. The UK site is many revisions below which is why I did not give it all 5 stars. Come on Linksys UK, do keep up!
