Please open source RAIDiator
Hi all. I wish Netgear would open source RAIDiator and let the community take part and help getting the platform moved to a more uptodate distro. Etch has been almost 2 years without security upda...
Sparc needs un-encrypted flash support to open it, and keep it alive, since NTGR EOL'd it.
For x86 units like Ultra, can already replace RAIDiator with other OSes. The 2/4 bays are a bit trickier to get into, but the 6 bay is very easy to customize. For testing, you can put something like FreeNAS on a USB stick, then boot while holding the Backup button in, it will boot off the USB stick instead. The NIC and SATA ports are standard drivers for most OSes, but things like thermal control would need tweaking a bit. What I've done is go into the BIOS (via serial port or VGA) and set thermal to be BIOS controlled, not manual, then put anything else on it. I've ran Windows on a Pro, and NexentaStor (the basis of ReadyDATA).
