exFAT Support on ReadyNAS 102
Trying to find out if there is exFAT support for an external usb hard drive on a ReadyNAS RN102 - I cannot find this information. Anyone know? Cheers, Luke
That's what I understood too. The may also saying "or may not".
The fact is, they'll jump on anything to make you do a factory reset (it's the simplest/safest thing for them, if it doesn't work they'll just send you a replacement and the support case will be closed), and that's typically what they hope for.
That said, proving you broke things is quite tricky, you can always erase all the logs (specially bash history). So if they have to prove this, then you're quite safe indeed. They'll have to isolate the problem and to solve it for you to prove you did something wrong.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the readynas (at least ARM versions without video out) have no recovering options appart from the reset which erase everything and the reinstall that I don't know exactly what it does (copying some files from flash, but which ones ? kernel ? grub ?). That's why I don't feel comfortable using SSH on those kind of devices, it's hard to break debian but not impossible and this would mean losing data...
