**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Feb 06 02:59:58 2012 Feb 06 04:15:35 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/WishList mentions Ximeta NDAS driver. Ever made any contacts about that? Feb 06 04:22:48 ndasusers, not that I know of Feb 06 04:26:38 Thanks. The NDAS driver is moving in the direction of open source. Could you point me to the contact place for inviting NSLU2 developers? We are sending NDAS Hardware samples to firmware team leaders. Feb 06 04:27:35 you are talking to one :D Feb 06 04:28:46 I am one of the leaders, the other 2 are eno and dyoung. Feb 06 04:29:43 cool. do you think there is significant interest for your community or firmware users? In the past, a driver was released for the MIPS routers. I think it was OpenWRT. LInux development slacked off at Ximeta though. Our company announced new ownership of NDAS last fall. Feb 06 04:30:44 there would be if it was available. we try to support as many NAS devices as we can get information/supports for. Feb 06 04:30:53 By the Way, NDAS gives you a block device on the LAN. It is a kind of NBD hardware, where as NBD for linux is a software block device. Feb 06 04:31:18 similar to aoe or other types? Feb 06 04:31:54 great! Feb 06 04:32:10 I am sure we are interested in this kind of technology. Feb 06 04:32:37 Correct. AoE is like the same idea. Coraid, stuck to linux from the start I think. Ximeta went more for Windows users. So many home users loved the NDAS device. Feb 06 04:33:42 making it available for linux users and other *nix ones would be very good. Feb 06 04:36:03 Please check the ticket site for the basics. http://ndas4linux.iocellnetworks.com. If you'd like a sample, please email linux@iocellnetworks.com. I can share history that I know of and current bugs. I am getting started on updating the driver code more or less officially at this time. I hope we can move the connection part, at least, into the linux tree this year. Feb 06 04:37:52 okay great...will look Feb 06 04:38:18 thanks again. good night.
