Duo v2 & NV+ v2 Official iSCSI support in future release ?
Hi, will the new arm based nas's get official iSCSI support in a future raidiator update? Also does anybody have a timeframe for nfs support which I believe is forthcoming. I couldn't see anything ...

Not a lot new, if anything in 5.3.3. Had a look at some of the early adopter reviews on Newegg. Not good. Quote
"I spent over an hour with tech support only to hear him continually apologizing and confirming the firmware and software is incomplete and should not have been released."
Netgear don't appear to want to communicate with their customers. A roadmap for features after releasing beta quality firmware isn't too much to ask in the 21st century. All this stuff is already in the kernel so it is a matter of designing a web interface to control it. Netgear seem to have made a decision that cifs is good enough for 99% of users. Maybe they are right.
Thanks for trying mdgm. It looks like it will be some time before the raidiator 5 firmware is functional for anything but cifs. Pity, nice hardware.
