Is there any early word on Mountain Lion compatibility for the ReadyNAS models?

- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredShould work fine with Mountain Lion.
There will of course need to be RAIDar and ReadyNAS Remote for Mac updates with Gatekeeper support.
Do you have the NV+ (v1 - silver chassis) or the NV+ (v2 - charcoal chassis)? - jonsengeAspirantSilver V1. Just curious how long before we have full compatibility and able to fully use with ML.
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredYou should be able to use it fully with ML already. Just the client apps I mentioned (RAIDar for Mac and ReadyNAS Remote for Mac), I think aren't Gatekeeper signed yet. So if you wanted to install these after updating to ML you'd have to change the security settings to accept installing apps that aren't Gatekeeper signed.
I don't think there's a major change to AFP requirements to put the spanner in the works like there was with Lion.
NetGear is a customer of NetAFP which develops the Netatalk project and the AFP support is very good. - KroSha1AspirantThanks for this. As ML is released today, I'm going to update at the weekend. Here's hoping it all works!
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredWhat version of RAIDiator are you running?
- jonsengeAspirantI'm on RAIDiator 4.1.9. We will indeed know soon the full compatibility details. With the Lion update, the RAIDiator was the last piece of my system to be updated to compatibility. I am hoping it happens a bit quicker this time around.
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredRAIDiator 4.1.9 includes Netatalk (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/) 2.2.3 which should work fine with Mountain Lion. There's no need to go to the new Netatalk 3.0 just yet, I think.
There is an ownership issue in 4.1.9 which might cause problems. If it does update to the 4.1.10 beta (http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=59222) and correct the ownership using that. Go to Shares > Share Listing > Sharename > AFP, select the Advanced Options tab, set owner and group, check "Set ownership and permission..." and click Apply. - jonsengeAspirantBrilliant. Thank you for your help. I'll be monitoring things to see others' experiences after the upgrade to ML.
- mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredMountain Lion has been released. I tried purchasing it before and it didn't work for me (I guess Apple's servers are under heavy load). Guess I'll have another try tomorrow.
- jonsengeAspirantHas anyone tried using Mountain Lion with your NAS yet?
