Found an old DNS-323 too. Great job.

I found an old DNS-323 in the closet. This firmware breathed new life into it, with tons of extra functions. It is very usable. Much better than stock firmware.

Great. I was pointed to this alternative firmware after I read that smbv1 -support would be removed soon from Windows 11, and it was also removed from more recent linux-kernels. I have an ancient Conceptronic CH3SNAS which I already had upgraded with DNS-323-firmware. Still working great. But this firmware makes this NAS which I bought in 2008 or 2009 or so a bit longer usable. Installation worked like a charm. The fsck took ages, and after it completed and relabeled the volume it wanted to fsck again. Ran the process another time. Afterwards some slight issues which were easily solvable. Now everything is running fine again. Even updated the Linux-kernel on my Raspberry Pi4 to 5.15.y, which was done earlier a few weeks before, but after finding out I couldn't mount my sambashares anymore I had to revert back to 5.10.y. Now on 5.15.y with the 'new' firmware and smbv2-support it's working as designed. Happy with it.

-sorry 4 my english- I found in a box my old DNS-320 rev. A1; it's more than 5 years It's unused. It still have the original DLINK firmware with fun-plug 0.5 and both bays filled with hd (no raid, just 2 separate disks); it was still working. I decided to give this project a try and I used the dlink web interface to update the firware. The operation finished and the nas was rebooted. After that I couldn't reach it from http; I waited half a day (hoping some sort of mantenance was going). Than I went to look at it and both hd leds were on and yellow. I physically rebooted it; only the power blue led kept on, but still I couldn't reach it. Finally I found that IP was changed (from default DLINK 192.168.1.32 to 192.168.1.169), the two disks are still there with their content! Good. I am now trying to solve a "You don't seem to have enabled feeds, a name server configured, or a working internet connection, and no /tmp/ipkg_*_arm.ipk file found. Exiting" problem installing Alt-F. The interface is very crude: just a bunch of forms with no graphics or css, but it's very fast and more complete than the original, which is what matters.
