yohanes, that’s really interesting project.
please continue you experiments

I have NCB3AHT… So there are a couple of questions:
- does it support NTFS? will you include it into next Debian kernel?
- what do you recommend me as BT client? I’m using TorrentFlux+LigHTTPd+SQLite. That’s python based client. But when there are more then 3 active torrents it very…..very…very slow responds.

Thank you!

I had a OEM version of this box. My main point in using this device is actually for BT related purpose but the build in device is not optimally configured.

I was looking at the device and purchasing it and checked around to see what people had done to it because I could see the potencial.

I found your site and followed your posts until it arrive and played around with installing Debian and got it to work and its great.

Thanks for providing the information and sharing it. I dont have Debian at home and didnt want to install it @ 2am so I used the bootstrap provided and a couple of tweaks and got it going.

Keep up the good work!

I have Agestar NCB3AST NAS. As far as I’m using Windows I have a lot of problems with this HW, at the moment something strange’s happend and my box left only FTP feature. So if there any custom firmaware available - it would be great!

@Tim Loader

After thinking about it, I think I can make an installer that doesn’t require serial port, but I need some time to build it and write the documentation for it.

I would be quite interested in a new firmware with any new or improved functionality, since I have had some problems with the reliability of my Agestar NAS, particularly in regards to streaming off the box and Samba use.
The serial port sounds like a tricky prospect, is there a way to install the firmware via the USB port, or over the network?

To Simon: Right now the firmware would run from prompt only. It can be reverted to factory if desired.

To Konstantin: If there are enough people using the device and wants a new firmware, then I will consider creating a new firmware. Right now the kernel is quite difficult to install without serial port.
