Transmission 2.52 - ReadynasDuo
Hi
Any sign of this coming along?
Now that the Duo2 is out - is the Duo eventually going to be phased out? Do I need to buy another NAS?
Cheers

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredThe Duo (v1) has been discontinued. Having said that I think super-poussin's Duo (v1) broke down a while back.
He hasn't announced stopping to develop for Sparc so I assume he intends to continue to develop this add-on. - super_poussinVirtuosomy duo is always out of order :(
- devilsrearAspirantlol really stupid question (and off topic) if i switch to another nas - duo v2 or nv? can i swap the drives out of my existing duo? or would it be simpler just to buy a new nas and get new drives?

The v2 has a different architecture, so if you move your v1 disks over it will reformat them.devilsrear wrote: lol really stupid question (and off topic) if i switch to another nas - duo v2 or nv? can i swap the drives out of my existing duo? or would it be simpler just to buy a new nas and get new drives?
If your v1 meets your needs overall, there is no reason to rush to replace it. If you do upgrade, consider both the ultra/pro lines and the v2. - ReadySECUREApprenticeIf you are looking for more drive bays, I have had good luck moving the RAID from the DUO v1 to the NV+ v1.

Sadly I gave my old Duo to a friend before I saw yours died, other wise I'd have shipped it to you. :( A (diskless) Duo is about ~100 EUR these days at Amazon here in Germany, guess France isn't that much different. Should be easy enough to get each of us here to donate 5 USD / EUR (or more) to super-poussin via his PayPal account for his work and time he invested and as an incentive to keep it up (and eventually get a replacement NAS).
Yet another donation sent, little more than the suggested amount though. 8)- super_poussinVirtuosostay tuned

I've clicked on the Donate link in super's profile, how do you get it to open in English? - devilsrearAspirant

Hi my big concern now for us duo v1 users using transmission is that they have now released RAIDiator 4.1.9 - the latest version 2.42 is NOT compatible with this version of RAIDiator. I did mention this in my thread here back in Feb.

Looks like you will have to roll back to 4.1.8 if you want to use it now, hope that super-poussin gets a duo v1 and fixes it for 2.52 and 4.1.9 or buy a new nas (I am currently debating that option)
