Title: FW 1.06 Wish List
Post by: fordem on May 23, 2008, 05:33:42 PM
Is it too soon to start a wish list for firmware revision 1.06?

Here are my wishes

1)  Better email reporting of failed disks - how about once every 24 hours or whatever the space status has been set for.
2)  A disk almost full email alert with an adjustable threshold - so we know about the problem before it becomes a problem - and again multiple emails at whatever the space status has been set for.
3)  Web file server
4)  A way to resume interrupted downloads where they failed rather than start over completely.

Might as well add my 2 cents:

... What Fordem said ...
5) EXT3 journaling file system.
6) Fix bug in UPnP media catalog with files > 4GB
7) Uptime and performance statistics on status page

Pipe dream:
8) sftp

Cheers!

- UPS Support (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
Title: Re: FW 1.06 Wish List
Post by: Piotr on May 25, 2008, 03:51:40 AM
* FTP SERVER:
- SSL support
- FTP logs
- FTP current status info (uptime, connected users etc., current transfers from FTP)
- Unicode

* Schedule downloads:
- remove URL length limit (very often I can't download things because URL is longer than 120 chars, for example I couldn't download SP3 from Microsoft)
- queueing
- pausing & resuming
- BT client page doesn't need to be refreshed. I'd like D-Link to use the same technique for Schedule downloads page
- ability to rename files. In current firmware you can only choose where to download file but you can't change its name while adding task (you always have to download file with its original name)

* BITTORRENT:
- queueing
- allocate and zero new files on creation
- scheduling torrent downloads
- ability to choose which files to download in a batch torrent
- remove security flaws: everybody has full access the BT share, it's possible to access BT download without authentication (http://"dns323_ip"/web/bt/fe01.html)

-> Adding/monitoring torrents and download tasks from external application (for example from Easy Search Utility).

* NETWORK ACCESS SETTINGS

- You can add your own share folder but you can't change its name (it is always named the same as the folder on NAS it is referring to)
- Ability to change default share name Volume_1 to one of your choosing
- You can't share folders with some national characters (share folder is visible in Network Neighbourhood but when you try to open it gives you an error). Japanese letters are fine. But Polish or Russian doesn't work :( -> http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=1776.0 (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=1776.0))

 
* UPnP MEDIA SERVER
- updating content instantly by SMB and FTP transfer !!!
- support for: OGG, FLAC, MKV, APE, IFO, ISO, AAC, DIVX
- ability to monitor more than one folder (in current firmware you can only add one folder+its subdirectories or monitor the whole volume)
- shoutcast internet radio stations

* Syslog support

* Journaling file system (EXT3)

* S.M.A.R.T monitoring page

* Defragmentation tool

* Utility to scan HDD for bad sectors

* SSH (secure shell)

* HTTPS (SSL) for system administration pages

* Other tweaks:

- I don't like that script in firmware configuration pages for selecting directories. If you have many subdirectories it takes to long to list them + it opens new window. Could D-link write something better (using more modern web technologies)? For example have you seen similar script in Twonky server configuration (It's faster and uses the same window).


3)  Web file server

Well... Web file server function exists. But it seems it's not finished yet (use at your own risk) + it's buggy + user interface is bad (read the discussion: http://forum.dsmg600.info/p15473-2008-05-23-13%3A30%3A20.html#p15473 (http://forum.dsmg600.info/p15473-2008-05-23-13%3A30%3A20.html#p15473) ). Let's hope this functionality will be officially added in 1.06 firmware (of course after D-link engineers will rethink that "5 different tabs" idea).

ext3 support was removed in the 1.03 firmware, I wonder why?  Perhaps the device hardware cannot support that kind of filesystem?

EXT3 definately had  problems with the kernel used in the firmware up to 1.02.  The kernel was upgraded in firmware 1.03 and some outside tests have shown that EXT3 would have worked fine from 1.03 on if they would have left support in.

Because of the problems seen with the BT app, i found this suggestion very helpfull :
- Be able to format only 1 drive on the NAS, when using the 2 drive config only.

and the most important
- Be able to give a "REAL" Admin access to a specific folder, so the BT issue will be fixed (we will be able to delete the finish file).

Would like to be able to specify more than 1 directory structure to be shared under uPnP ( unless I'm nuts you can only specify 1 share right now - either root or a single alternate structure on the tree ).   

From a data management perspective I personally prefer each user to maintain their own directory structure but within that we each might have a media collection we would like to make available over uPnP (assume there are no security limitations imposed that preclude that ).   

I can and do spec multiple directory trees to be shared using WMP11 as uPnP Server and I would also note that this seems to require a heck of a lot less menu navigation on my Media Player (PS3) than using the DNS-323's uPnP server.

Media Server:
Linksys NAS200 come pre-installed with TwonkyMedia Server which is compatible with PS3, Xbox 360 for Photo, Music & Video.

Would like Dlink to match this and stop tweaking the current buggy UPNP av Server from unknown source.

USB Port:
Re-purpose the only one USB port for meaningful external storage, copy digital content from card/camera to disk.

BT Client:
Put some parameters to show that traffic is encrypted

WebFileManager:
- replace the current WebFile Manger to something usable and friendly with some basice human logic.  Not like the one in FW1.05b28.

Start/Stop/Restart Buttons for all the server services like
- ITune Server
- Media Server (hang frequently)
- Printer Server
- BT Client, etc...
- Download Manager/Scheduler
(Restart Button to revive the hang service, Stop to release memory from daemon services)

Status Report:
- to show the cpu utilization for period
- to show network utilization for period
- to show event log

Dlink firmware are always beta version, software quality is very low. 

Free Open source product's quality are somehow much better.

I had originally purchased a Linksys NAS200, then returned it because it doesn't work as a Media Server for the Xbox360.  As a device the NAS 200 is painfully slow.  The 360 would list only about 1/2 of the songs on the NAS 200, and could not list,or play them from the Genre/Artist/Album etc. categories.  The 360 could only see the songs on the NAS200 if I did a plain list of all of the songs (and with about 7000 songs this wasn't very usable).

Having said that, I do want to see 360/PS3 media support on the DLink323.

twonky, works with both devices

I know Twonky is supposed to, but whatever came installed with the NAS200 firmware (current about 2 months ago when I still had the NAS200) didn't work properly with the 360.  The 360 worked fine connecting to an XP machine with Media Connect installed, but only partially worked with the NAS 200.  I didn't have my PS3 at the time, so I don't know how the PS3 was.  Since it was about 2 months ago I had the NAS200, they may have an updated firmware now that works better.  I didn't install Twonky myself on the NAS200 - it just had whatever comes with the firmware.

Support encryption on drives with "Bulk Data Encryption", like the Hitachi ones.

The password should be alive only when the drive is turned on, after you turn it off the password would have to be inserted again. There should also be some control over the IP or MAC address of the computers that can access the drive.

We need to keep the requests reasonable - for example - and I'm using the previous post, only as an example, there are other, equally unreasonable (if not more) requests.

1) - do you really expect D-Link to fix an ISP block - take it up with your ISP

When necessary, request help in a separate thread.

2) - if you can't remote to port 80 or 8080 from an external network, this is not a problem with the device perse, it is either an incorrect configuration on your DNS-323 or your router - or - quite likely, your ISP has blocked these ports to prevent you from hosting a webserver.

To make basic functionality complete (for me) as a storage device:

#2.  secure ftp

That's it.
I want to be able to backup ALL the digital stuff I have without worrying about whether I can get it back.  I'm running Raid 1 ... but to be really safe I'd like to see #1.  Raid can't account for user error.

Everything else is gravy for me.

8MB of flash memory is not a problem. BitTorrent client is installed on HDD (Volume_1\Nas_Prog\BT). Other applications can be installed on hard drive as well (funplug package is the best example).

Piotr

Have you experienced these "security holes in web interface" personally?

If you have, I'd like to ask you to try a little test - choose one of the holes that you can exploit at will - and then power off both the NAS and your workstation, restart them, and without logging in to the web interface see if you can exploit the hole - can you?  Try another or perhaps a few more.

The reason I'm suggesting this is that I recently discovered that some of these "security holes" are dependent on your having previously authenticated to the the web interface, and that they may also exist for 10~15 minutes after you close that browser window - which is the reason why I asked you to do that restart, it isn't strictly necessary, but it does guarantee you have no authenticated session "hanging" there.

Let me know what happens.

http://<dns323ip>/web/bt/fe02.html
http://<dns323ip>/web/bt/btsettings.html

Everybody can download torrents using my NAS, everybody can change its BT settings.

Other interesting things which can be accessed:

http://<dns-323-ip>/etc/passwd

http://<dns-323-ip>/etc/shadow

http://<dns-323-ip>/server.pem

http://<dns-323-ip>/etc/ez-ipupdate.conf

one more for the list - a command line (telnet?) interface - that will allow those of us who know how and are willing to directly manipulate the device - this comes after discovering my RAID array to be non-functional with no error indications - and attempting to reformat the disks results in a 7MB RAID1 volume on a pair of 80GB disks.

This is a NAS and you can connect to it from anything that supports CIFS/SMB which is essentially a Microsoft developed protocol - without drivers.

Correct.

I think what iampedro is talking about however is the whole Vista network discovery feature. I'm not sure if its a "driver" so much as it is a way of profiling a device on the network. Last I heard, D-link had one available for Vista x86, but they pulled it because of some bug. I don't think a 64bit version was ever in the works. Unless of course this "driver" can in fact be used with both Vista x86 and 64bit (though I doubt it).

Don't take this as gospel - but - the way I heard it is that there were problems with those "drivers" and 64-bit Vista due to a problem with an ".ini" file and someone edited the file and got it functional - I could try to track it down if you're interested.

Title: More Bittorrent Functionality
Post by: ttmcmurry on September 13, 2008, 09:37:17 AM
1)  +1 for DHT support
2)  Ability to Seed directly from the DNS-323
3)  Ability to create torrents from the DNS-323 using its own paths i.e. /Volume_1/BT/share, not a windows mapped directory
4)  BT Settings Retain after a reboot -- right now if I reboot after specifying upload limits, the setting resorts back to -1 (unlimited)
5)  +1 Built-In SSH support that respects users & security groups created from within the 323's web admin page; not like the way ffp implements OpenSSH where the user has to synchronize passwd & group manually.
6)  +1 A built-in utility that automatically checks disk consistency at startup, shutdown, and reboot.  (presently using cleanboot.sh for this process).
7)  SAMBA:  Add a recycle bin automatically - presently we have to modify the samba.conf to get a Recycle Bin, however it's clunky and has some issues (see forums for the problems)
8)  Undelete facility that is accessible from the Web Interface

A simple yet very sweet little feature would be the ability to use hard links with the incremental backups.  In this way, one can create individual snapshots without the cost of duplicating data.  If it was taken one step further; an interface to work with these snapshots so it's easy to delete or restore.

2) SUpport for USB hard drives
3) Disk integrity checks/defrag (option to schedual it too?)
4) Option to cascade DNS-323 via usb with higher raid options (i know thats out there)

You can't, it's not released yet.  If there is a beta I imagine you would have to be part of a special beta group to get it.

I wish they would add the ability to put users in more than one groups

Not create separate shares for each user given permission to view that share

Auto On- When using as a backup I don't want to go across town to other office just to turn the unit back on.

The ability to create folders from within the web interface

I'd love to add Seagate 1.5 TB - ST31500341AS Support!

Plus many of the other suggestions made earlier, especially:

security problems fixed
ability to change admin userid name
special characters in passwords
Disk check utilities
Telnet access (without a hack)

Cheers,
Bill

I'm new to this forum and I just got a DNS-323 up and running with 2 x 1TB disks.

This is what I'd like to see in the next firmware version, in hope that DLink product managers actually monitor this forum. These are not nice-to-have items for me. These are features that I strongly miss in the product.

In priority order:
1. Data Encryption (in case someone steals the hard disks)
2. Auto power on (in case my UPS runs dry after a power failure)
3. SMTP SSL (required by GMail, had to use Yahoo)
4. Backup to external USB drive (RAID 1 is for redundancy, not for data backup)
5. Secure FTP
6. Disk Check and Repair Utilities
7. Temperature logging
8. Defragmentation tool

Thanks.

   Have only had the units (2) for a short period, but couple things come to mind already;
 Remove the Printer support and allow for USB drive instead, this way would be easy to backup the drives. Or support both.

 Option to Auto-power on after power failure.

 Better security on FTP feature.

 SMART support on hard drives

Web Server.
WebDAV support/feature.
Secure FTP
Security hole fixed.

Love to be able to have my bookmarks that I save at work to be at home when I get there and have a calendar that has appointment dates that all my clients can subscribe to.

If these features already exist or if there is another simple way to get these features without it been implemented into the firmware give me a slap and an explanation please.

My wish list for next firmware 1.06
1> LOGFILE when something goes wrong, it's a challenge to find out why.
 The ability to rename the network share names for the drives (Volume_1 , Volume_2)
2> fix Incremental Backup issue on recurring Scheduled Downloads. if a backup event is set as Incremental, it'll re-download all the content, not just what's changed.
2b> (cosmetic) When editing Scheduled Downloads, Incremental option is never selected.
