What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. setting ntp server from web (setup > time)
2. change from default to another time server

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
ntp server change from default. instead server always pool.ntp.org
on terminal also not changing

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. IP is dynamic through IP reservation (always the same)
2. Go to Setup -> Host
3. Under host details it currently has the defaults. IP settings are DHCP. When 
I change the hostname/workgroup and hit submit, the box crashes (cannot access 
web GUI/telnet/ping - router also shows it is no longer connected/connecting). 
I have to hard boot the NAS. Of course, because I did not have the opportunity 
to save settings, it resets to default.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

From version 2.4 Transmission has "Torrent queuing"

nogi has reported that the fun_plug script is in error.
For now, try to use the one supplied in
https://sites.google.com/site/altfirmware/home/misc
but it is untested (currently I have no access to my DNS-323)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. setup external dhcp server with a short lease time
2. standby all hdds
3. sda will wakeup when the lease is renewd, saying:
   .... user.notice udhcpc: udhcpc environment:
   .............
   .... Updating /etc/hosts
   .....

Why sda wakes up when ip address is renewd ?

Link speed/duplex auto-negotiation does not works.

When connected to 100Mbps routers/switches or network cards, "ping" doesn't 
work either from or to the box.

Sometimes ethertool reports a correct link setup, other times falls back to 
10Mbps half-duplex, other times the link is not even detected.

When connected to a Gbps switch or network card it works OK. However, if one 
then advertises only 100Mbps/half/full, and renegotiate the link, it stops 
working.

Relevant diagnostics:

# ethtool -S eth0
...
     bad_octets_received: 1572672
     bad_frames_received: 96
     fragments_received: 96
...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. mount an hdd formatted with the dlink firmare
2. ls -al
3. files previously owned by nobody are owned y id 501
4. uid of nobody in Alt-F is 99
5. Same issue with gid, in dlink was 501 too

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
nobody uid should be the same as the dlink one. At least provide a 
"copmatibility" option to change the uid.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1B7

The distributed untested avahi package is missing an init script and a services 
description file.

After the 0.1B6 release, packages will be rebuilt and examined and this issue 
will disappear. Meanwhile you can use the attached files.

*After* installing avahi using Packages->Alt-F

1-remove all /etc/avahi/services/*.service files
2-drop the attached S50avahi-daemon in /etc/init.d/
3-drop Alt-F.service in /etc/avahi/services/

You can now start and stop avahi in Services->Network

Modifications or additions to /etc/avahi/services/ are handled by avahi-daemon, 
there is no need to restart it.

Only avahi-daemon is handled this way, neither avahi-autoip nor avahi-dnsconfd 
are.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open web browser
2. type IP of NAS box into browser address bar

or

1. open terminal
2. ssh to IP of NAS box

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
connect to ssh server or web interface(depending on method)

looks like the ports(22/80) aren't open after a flash to B4.

Any ideas on how to fix this?(or am I having a blonde moment)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Use a USB disk in the NAS-323 with NTFS that is using attribute 'compressed 
files or folders to save space'or with the whole disk formatted to allow 
'compression to save space'(i.e where the files/folders appear blue in windows 
explorer)
2.  The files/folders are browseable but unusable 
3.  Trying to access these compressed files to play, copy or move them via SMB 
or Telnet will fail.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Non compressed files will read, copy and move fine and no output is seen in the 
system.log however with compressed files you will see something similar to;

"Jan 10 11:49:14 dlink-EE1DC9 daemon.notice ntfs-3g[3124]: Failed to decompress

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
DNS-323 Harware version A1, firmware=stock Dlink 1.09, Fun-plug = Alt-F 
experimental B6 (the one with B5 kernel.  Attempted reading files via WinXP, 
Win7, Ubuntu 10.10, XBMC on XBOX on SMB shares and also via Telnet


Please provide any additional information below.
http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-advanced/data-compression/ infers that 
incorporating ntfs-3g-2010.8.8 or newer into FUSE/Kernel should fix problem as 
from that version onwards it had the ability to modify compressed files.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Alt-F using basic ffplug method. i.e. not flashing over vendor 
firmware.
2. login into web interface and change mtu in 'host setup' to any value other 
than 1500 i.e. 6000/8000/9000(jumboframes).
(tried saving and reloading settings as well)
3. reboot

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The MTU should remain at the new value on reboot

minidlna seems to only run with the "-d" option flag, and also can't 
create its pid file. 

As an interim solution, after installing minidlna, replace /etc/init.d/ 
S80minidlna with the file bellow.
minidlna will run as root. 

Maximize this windows, otherwise copy/paste will break wide lines

The good news is that minidlna has a new stable source code release

Jumbo frames greater that 3700 bytes can make linux start swaping, effectively 
reducing network performance.

Low level memory allocation in linux happens in blocks of 4096 contiguos bytes, 
and in powers of two.

A frame size greater than 3700 bytes, plus some memory management overheads, 
exceeds the 4KB page, thus asking linux to allocate a new pool of 130 blocks of 
8196 continuous bytes (that is what the network driver asks for, after a 
"ifconfig eth0 mtu xxx" , xxx >3700 happens, cat /proc/slabinfo)

If this happens when memory is fragmented, some pages have to be swaped to disk.

Filesystems also use block of 4096 bytes, and contention between pages 
requested by the filesystem and the network subsystems arise.

This is more likely to happen on Gbit networks, where frames show-up at a fast 
pace, and after the system has been running for a while.

This needs more research.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Share file from DNS-323
2. Mount HDD in PC
3. Open file explorer can see all file name but can not access the file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Access file from samba

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Windows 7/Vista/Ubuntu

Please provide any additional information below.

Using firmware 0.1B5 on revB1 hardware, everything works fine except i cannot 
save settings. It fails with message "Error saving settings! No flash space 
available".

any ideas? it would be nice not to have to reconfigure everything on reboot :)

oh, this happens if the firmware is flashed or not (i currently have it flashed)

Subject says it all.
Thanks nogi: 

Have you ever tried to use the host system compiled tools on a 64bit system 
like OpenSuse 64 ;-)

The header definitions use long as variable size. But on a 64bit system 
these are 64 bit not 32 bit.
So dns323-fw did scribble all over the uboot magic numbers of the kernel
No wonder that it complained afterwards that this appeared to.be NO uboot 
kernel ;-)

I had to install 32bit libs and compiler in order to build a 32 bit 
version.

Can you include rsync in packages ?

Reported by KRH:

The kernel log, as seen on the serial console, shows several failed
attempts to access the disk; after a while the kernel giveup and normal
operation resumes. After that USB disk can be mounted and the network is
available.

When i create with the wizard a jbd with 2x1,5TB seagte harddisks and share the 
created md0 mounting point via samba i see only 701 gb. 
Alt-F displays the correct 2,7TB in "Filesystems". 
When i make one big partition on each disk and share it via samba then i see 
the 2x1,3TB. In "Disk Partitioner" i get this message "cat: can't open 
'/sys/block//dev/sdb/size': No such file or directory".
There is also under free disk space this number "-1100.048".
I can also not loggin via telent and ssh (tried on windows and linux) because i 
get this "# COLUMNS=80;LINES=24;export COLUMNS LINES;".

I use an DNS-323 rev A1. It is the Alt-F 0.1B6+ from experimental flashed on 
the box.

The untested netatalk package seems not to work due to an yet to be discovered 
interaction with db, the Berkeley Database:

Using Alt-F netatalk:

Although I don't have a Mac, I tried using afpfs-ng in another linux 
host to simulate a Mac cmd line client. 
I can connect, login and select a afp share, but I can't get a 
directory listing. It seems to be a db (Berkeley Database) problem. 

So I uninstalled Alt-F db and netatalk and installed ffp db48-4.8.30-1 
and netatalk-2.1.3-1, and they worked; I could login, select an afp 
share, get a directory listing and download a file. 

So, until I fix Alt-F db, you can resort to ffp. Remember to uninstall 
first Alt-F db and netatalk, as Alt-F binaries have priority over ffp 
ones. 

If you have a Mac and some expertise, you can try to debug the problem, but 
remember that netatalk seems to be sensitive to the db version in use -- there 
are documented procedures in the netalk web page on how to upgrade from one to 
another version of db.

You can use the attached file, that you must drop in /etc/init.d/, in order to 
start or stop the afpd service under Services->Network, or through "rcafpd 
start" or "rcafpd stop" in the command line.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Have 3 hdds in the DNS-323 (2sata + 1USB)
2.Partition the drives with a 500mb SWAP and the rest as RAID.
3.Go to the Raid menu, select JBD.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should be able to select 3 disks, only 2 possible in the menu.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
RC1 on Win7

Please provide any additional information below.
The wizard will be able to select all 3 disks and create a JBOD array.

in svn/  tags/ Release-0.1B1/ local/ dns323/ linux-2.6.33.1.config 
# CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT is not set

and should be.

buildroot strikes again.

There seems to be some process keeping the hard drive active. if i manually 
force the drive to spindown from the web interface, it just spins up again. log 
snippet below:

Nov 26 14:01:24 toaster daemon.info sysctrl: right disk (sda) standby
Nov 26 14:01:44 toaster daemon.info sysctrl: right disk (sda) wakeup

there are no other log messages until 14:18. running services are:

smb
ntp
inetd
cron
sysctl
syslog

is it likely to be samba or something else? here is a process list when logged

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. log in via telnet to the box and enter 'reboot' on the command line OR
2. log in via web interface on Alt-F, go to the System Utilities page, press 
'reboot' and confirm

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
After issuing the 'reboot' command, one would expect the box to shutdown 
cleanly and power-cycle/restart. Instead, after the services on the box 
(namely: telnet, networking, et al) are shutdown, the box seems to just 
'freeze' until the power-cord is removed and reattached (and then, it does 
restart and after a while, becomes accessible again).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- DNS-323 HW rev. C1 with stock D-Link FW v1.09
- one 360G disk on the right-side bay formatted as ext3
- tests conducted while running Alt-F v0.1B5, reloaded via fun_plug script 
(ONCE=no, but not exactly relevant)
- the unit is connected to a GigE switch, with static IP set

Please provide any additional information below.

After issuing 'reboot' via telnet and/or via web interface:
- checked my DHCP server for any new leases: none found.
- did a ping scan on my network: the box can't be found.
- changed the IP address on my network interface to the 192.168.1.x range, did 
a ping scan on the whole subnet: the box can't be found.

NOTE 1: the log files (alt-f.log and alt-f-reloaded.log) seem to be 'stale', 
which seems to indicate the machine gets 'stuck' after right after shutdown, 
just before actually rebooting.

NOTE 2: 'poweroff' commands seems working just fine (both via cmdline/telnet 
and via web interface).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. the fan speed on HW rev-C1 changes between only two states: 'low speed' and 
'off'
2. the fan never switches to 'high speed' regardless of any combination of 
temperature thresholds we might have set on /etc/sysctrl.conf and/or even with 
the hard-coded/builtin/defaults on sysctrl.c
3. this seems to affect both flashed and reloaded versions of Alt-F v0.1B6 on 
HW rev-C1

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Fan speed is checked/set on lines 592~597 of sysctrl.c but the code currently 
checks different things along the way and since C1 units seem to respond 
slightly differently to the same queries, sysctrl.c never gets to line 597 (pwm 
= FAN_FAST).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
DNS-323 HW rev-C1 running Alt-F v0.1B6 (both flashed and reloaded versions) 

Please provide any additional information below.

Here's a fragment of the syslog when sysctrl starts with default/built-in 
settings. Notice 3 things:
a) lo_fan=2000 (default value)
b) hi_fan=5000 (default value)
c) sysctrl reports fan=400 (read from /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/fan1_input)

On line 83 of sysctrl.c, we have:
enum FanSpeed { FAN_OFF = 0, FAN_LOW =  127, FAN_FAST = 255 };

When we check values on /sys, we find:
root@FIDO:~# cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1
63
root@FIDO:~# cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/fan1_input
400
root@FIDO:~# 

A few tests on rev-C1 reveal the following:
root@FIDO:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1
root@FIDO:~# cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/fan1_input
0
root@FIDO:~# echo 127 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1
root@FIDO:~# cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/fan1_input
400
root@FIDO:~# echo 255 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/pwm1
root@FIDO:~# cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device/fan1_input
2000
root@FIDO:~# 

Since 'args.lo_fan' is set to 2000 by default and 'fan' will never be larger 
than 2000 on rev-C1, line 597 of sysctrl.c will never be executed (thus, the 
fan speed is never set to 'fast').

I came up with a couple of solutions:

Alternative #1 (workaround) - add the following lines to /etc/sysctrl.conf

lo_fan="400"         # default = 2000
hi_fan="2000"        # default = 5000
max_fan_speed="2000" # not quite sure if this one is really necessary 

Alternative #1b - set/update the built-in/default values for rev-C1 boards on 
check_board() to include:
------- sysctrl_c1_fan_defaults.diff -------
535a536,538
>       args.lo_fan = 400;
>       args.hi_fan = 2000;
>       args.max_fan_speed = 2000;
------- sysctrl_c1_fan_defaults.diff -------

Alternative #2 - 
The current code tests temperature (line 592), then fan speed (line 594). 
Instead, I'd suggest changing line 594 of sysctrl.c so the same kind of thing 
is tested as in line 592 (i.e. stick with temperature checks):
------- sysctrl_c1_fan_control.diff -------
594c594
<       else if (fan < args.lo_fan)

---
>       else if (temp < args.lo_temp)
------- sysctrl_c1_fan_control.diff -------

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Start Samba on NAS
2.Start Intel NAS performance test
3.run ifconfig

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Alt-f 0.1B6 on top of vendor firmware.

Please provide any additional information below.
Samba performance of Alt-f is about 75% of vendor's firmware.
Still analyzing results...

Your work is great! Easy-to-use, with a lot of function firmware.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Formating WD15EARS (4k, 1.5TB) with wizard in 0.1B6
2.Using non-raid EXT3 format

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Disk will be 1.24TB instead of 1.36TB

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
DNS-323 B1 OF1.08 with tar Alt-F-0.1B6, Windows 7 64bit 

Please provide any additional information below.
Formating with dns-323 vendor firmware will give 1.36TB, then realigning 
partitions 1 and 2 manually will still give 1.36TB (minus around 150mb of used 
space)
Was done with only 1 drive in right bay

What steps will reproduce the problem?

For some reason setting Timezone didn't get stored.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to use webinterface, but will only allow the status webpage, and an 
error when accessing others, first asking for password for login and then 
complain about NONE-0.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.1B7 0.1RC1 on a C1 box

Please provide any additional information below.

I found the culprit to be /usr/www/cgi-bin/login_proc.cgi, and a workaround to 
get pass it I added a check for the TZF parameter, wheter it is empty or not, 
before the if comparing it with NONE-0. New addition:

        if test -e $TZF; then
                expl=""
        elif test $(cat $TZF) = "NONE-0"; then
                expl=""
        else # expire cookie (login) one hour after login
                eval $(TZ=GMT awk 'END{printf "exp=%s", \
                        strftime("\"%a, %d-%b-%Y %T GMT\"", systime()+3600)}' /dev/null)
                expl="expires=$exp"
        fi

No shell scripter so not sure if it is a good way to implement it. But now it 
works better.

The file aufs+sqfs4lzma-2.6.33.patch, which  is needed to build Alt-F, is 
missing from SVN.
For now download it from http://sites.google.com/site/altfirmware/home/misc
an put it in the "dl" directory created by the mkprepare.sh script.

Summary says it all.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Installation of Alt -F Firmware


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Alt F Installed instead i get error
Firmware Upload Error! 

The uploaded file was not accepted by the DNS-323. Please return to the 
previous page and select a valid upgrade file. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

version C1 firmware 1.08

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. enter a password with "!" in the auth password for smtp
2. Test mail delivery
3. You get an error, even if the password was correct
4. in /etc/msmtprc the "!" is encoded as %21


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
msmtp doc does not say anything about encoding characters in password.
Fixing the typo in /etc/msmtprc and sending mail with
 echo test | msmtp recipient@domain 
ends succesfully.

Please provide any additional information below.

I am having trouble with alt-f installation.  The directions are very skimpy 
and my problem are not covered.

Environment:
1)DNS-323 v1.09 firmware, 1x 2TB HD
2) ffp installed.  ffp and several packages seem to be running fine.  e.g. ssh, 
mediatomb working.
3) in the root folder /mnt/HD_a2/ there is an ffp folder and fun_plug file.

Since it seems I have satisfied the criteria for Method 3 above, I tried 
following those directions.  I put the alt-f fun_plug in the root folder and 
renamed it alt-f.sh and made it executable.  I put the alt-f tarball in the 
same folder.  I executed alt-f.sh.

The problem is the ssh or telnet session where I execute alt-f.sh just hangs.  
Even if I 'sh alt-f.sh&' it gives me another prompt but hangs.  I later check 
and the alt-f directory is created, but I cannot run any of the web pages and 
when I go to the DNS-323 address, I get the original web page.

Alt-f.log (checked after breaking hung session) reads:
110920 13:15:46 mysqld_safe Logging to '/srv/mysql DNS-323.err'.

I have let the session run for hours to see if it is just processing a long 
task.
I have killed the session, reloaded both ffp and alt-f multiple times.
I have renamed the ffp fun_plug file and replaced it with the alt-f.sh.
I have manually created a folder /srv/mysql and created a file called 
DNS-323.err with full rights.
I have confirmed mysql is installed (and since Mediaportal uses it, I'm pretty 
sure it's working).

Since all other options like flashing the binary require you to get step 3 
working and I cant, I can't try alternate execution options.

Can someone please provide some useful diagnostics or some corrective steps 
indicated by the log file.

Thanks 1,000,000

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make sure sysctrl is running:
# ps | grep sysc
  351 root     sysctrl 
 1018 root     grep sysc 
# rcsysctrl status
sysctrl running
# 

2. press the reset button on the back

3. press the button on the front

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- pressing the reset button on the back for a few seconds seems to be working - 
leds flash yellow/amber on the front while the button is pressed and every time 
the reset button is pushed, got the following messages on the system log:

Nov 28 04:20:37 FIDO daemon.info sysctrl: Backup
Nov 28 04:20:42 FIDO daemon.info sysctrl: right disk (sda) wakeup

- when the big button on the front is pressed, nothing happens (no matter for 
how long): no leds flash, no messages on the logs

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

- DNS-323 HW rev. C1 with stock D-Link FW v1.09
- one 360G disk on the right-side bay formatted as ext3
- tests conducted while running Alt-F v0.1B5, reloaded via fun_plug script 
(ONCE=no, but not exactly relevant)
- the unit is connected to a GigE switch, with static IP

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to Alt-F in the setup > users section 
2. Create/change the password of a user and include special characters in the 
password
3. Try to connect to an authentication needed Samba share


What is the expected output?

Connect to the share when entering a valid user and password.


What do you see instead?

Can't connect.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

B7


Please provide any additional information below.

I also tested setting the password with SWAT and it worked
even if I choose a password with the exclamation character.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Change a setting
2. Select another menu entry. No warning is given
3. Leave Web gui without saving settings
4. Reboot
5. Your change is lost

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A warning should be issued when leaving a page wothout saving settings.
In particular, if you create a user, changes will belost if not saved.
It should be good to have a "save settings button" on evry page, and test 
exiting the page without saving.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
dns-323 b1

Please provide any additional information below.
Alt-F 0.1RC1

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Point your browser to the administrative web interface, right-click on the 
right-handed side of the page (frame on the right), then select "This Frame" -> 
"View Frame Source" and take a look at the code of affected pages (Firefox 
3.6.x marks/highlights malformed HTML tags in red)
2. This doesn't seem to be a major issue (or cause any problems with most 
browsers), but /could/ lead to unexpected/strange behaviour on some of the CGI 
scripts
3. While some of the patches/suggestions handle missing endings on a few tags, 
others just add enclosing quotes on the generated HTML to ensure any empty 
values are interpreted properly (as empty values/tags/whatever).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A brief sanity check on customroot/usr/www/cgi-bin revealed the following files 
could/should be patched/updated in order to help/improve 
determinism/reliability of the web interface (interpretation of tags by the 
browser and/or any javascript code that might behave slightly different on 
different browsers/platforms):

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Edit manually /etc/minidlna.conf
2. Add media directories in format: "media_dir=V,/mnt/md0/Videos" where "V" is 
to specify this folder contains videos.
3. Save the file and try to restart MiniDLNA

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Even thought the ALT-F Web ui does not let specify which media type each 
directory is, I would expect the init.d script to recognize the format is 
conform and to still be able to start the daemon.

Instead, I get error message:

minidlna: Share V,/mnt/md0/Videos does not exists, disabling it.
minidlna: can't be started, no shares are configured.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

ALT-F B7 with minidlna 1.0.19 

Please provide any additional information below.

It is just in my view an incorrect parsing and verification of the media_dir 
value. It takes the "V," as part of the path which it should not.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.after few weeks back to vendor's firmware from Alt-F-0.1B5, decided to try 
Alt-F-0.1B6
2.load Alt-F-0.1B6 from vendor's firmware 1.08
3.flashing Alt-F-0.1B6 with option erase all vendor's config 
4.clicking the "reboot" command from web after flashing complete 
5.press and hold power button didn't work. the right/left led never blinks

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
device should be rebooted, instead device is not responding

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Alt-F-0.1B6 on DNS-323 Rev.C1 ubuntu 10.10

Please provide any additional information below.
ping device 100% packet loss, network led blinking
can't access to device (http/telnet not responding)
turning off device by unplug the power cord.
after turn-on device, the reboot command via web didn't works. press and hold 
power button until right led blinks also didn't works. device always hang
shutdown command (via web / press and hold power button until left led blinks) 
works
try to flashing experimental firmware (Alt-F-0.1B6+ or Alt-F-IPv6) make no 
difference.

Hi Int,

Sorry to ask you about that but it seems I bricked my DNS-323 rev.C1 and now 
need help.
Against all precautions, Ive tried to update the Alt-F firmware via Wi-Fi and 
upon the next reboot the blue LED started blinking all the time, and not 
responding to anything I've tried: holding down power button (front) for any 
number of seconds, the same for the back 'reset' button (even after 20-sec 
interval); it doesn't get dhcp address via router anymore either. When I power 
it on, the blue light starts flashing immediately (as normal), then hard drives 
kick in with some rustle, but after a second they calm down and the light just 
continues flashing forever, and nothing else happens nor it responds.

Please provide any advice on how to revive it!..
Thank you very much.
