Hi All. Anyone know if this can be modded via fun plug the same as the dns 320 / 325?
Quoting from here: YES.
Best Regards,
Uli
Having an issue with file permissions changing on reboot (for ssh) and subsequently ssh won’t start on reboot as all the files under /ffp/etc/ssh/ change from 600 to 777. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Apparently it seems that the DNS 345 (and 325) change the file permissions of the /ffp directory on reboot. This *might* be due to my current RAID5 configuration, or could occur with all setups (haven’t tested), and a fix for the SSH daemon can be found here: http://forum.dsmg600.info/viewtopic.php?id=3360
However, I would like to find a way to disable the changing of file permissions completely. If anyone has run into this issue before and knows of a resolution, please let me know. I will continue to search for answers in the meantime
Hello ouija,
This is fixed in Firmware DLINK_DNS345.1.01b06 which i found on the Spanish FTP of D-Link.
Best Regards,
Uli
Uli,
Does the firmware flash set the default to Spanish or is it in English?
Thanks!
English.
Best Regards,
Uli
Excellent, was actually coming back here to report that it is indeed English. However, does it still only report back as version 1.00 in the System Management page of the web interface for you? Just curious…
Strange. I updated the firmware with ftp://ftp.dlink.es/DNS/DNS-345/Firmware/Beta/DLINK_DNS345.1.01b06(1.01.0209.2012)(BETA).zip using Internet Explorer 9 and it hung up at 100% for about 5 minutes then eventually just loaded back to the web interface login and apparently failed the update which is why it was reporting back still as being at F/W version 1.0.
I then tried the process of installing fun_plug and rebooting the unit, and it then failed to grab the manually assigned IP address that I had configured the unit with prior to the firmware update.
So, trying not to panic, I plugged the unit into my laptop and configured my NIC to match the IP address that the unit was manually assigned to, and THANKFULLY it managed to resolve the IP address and I then proceeded to login, redownload the firmware again and this time using the latest version of Firefox instead of IE9, the firwmare updated successfully and rebooted without issue. Now it’s reporting back as being at F/W 1.01 and is properly grabbing the assigned IP again.
WHEW! Not sure if it was an issue due to a partially downloaded or corrupted F/W file or something to do with IE9, but thankfully I managed to get the unit back to working condition again. Now to setup fun_plug!
Btw, does fun_plug 0.7 have any significant improvements or performance gains over 0.5? Just curious if I should stick with the older version or go for the newer one. I see that the actual tarball of 0.7 is almost 4 times the size of 0.5 and am curious as to what new features and improvements it brings.
Thanks again, and kudos for having such an awesome website with a wealth of information needed to turn these units into some of the greatest little machines I’ve ever used!
Wanted to also mention that I ended up compiling my own package for LFTP on the DNS 345 since there weren’t any available packages for this anywhere; Here are my compiled packages for LFTP 4.3.5 for fun_plug 0.7 (arm)
GnuTLS 2.10.1 -> http://www.datafilehost.com/download-b20bb7cb.html
LFTP 4.3.5 -> http://www.datafilehost.com/download-419e5904.html
Note that LFTP requires GnuTLS to be installed as well.
Also note that you need to install libgcrypt-1.5.0-arm-1.txz and libgpg-error-1.10-arm-1.txz from slacker / fonz’ repo for LFTP to work
Also available through my repo now: http://nas-tweaks.net/381/announcement-of-ulis-repository-for-fun_plug-0-7/
Cheers,

Anyone tested the performance of this unit?
The previous D-Link have got quite bad reputation for being dog slow in a gigabit network.
Was transferring fairly quicker than the DNS 343 unit of mine today — averaging about 40-60mb/s. And it should, given it has 3 times the clockspeed and 4 times the ram
My favorite pick of NAS unit at present.
I bought one for myself.
I have two computers in My Network which can copy to each other at 110 Mb/s when I copy large files between.
However, when either of them copies to the d-link 345 they are down to 25-30 MB/s. I have tried both afp and smb. I have four brand new 2TB drives as raid 5.
I am really considering a ReadyNas instead.
