How many StorLink-based NASes out there?
Surfing the web i found many StorLink-based NASes. I knew MRT Communications and RaidSonic used the StorLink processor. Now i found Freecom, too, with its Network Drive Pro, based on the StorLink GEMINI platform (the same as GIGABIT NAS). Good new: its firmware is not based on Sausalito, but on SnapGear linux distribution.
There’s a good community around that - named OpenFSG - that obtained complete firmware sources. I’ve tried them and i was surprised to see the built fine at first try. And built kernel and firmware image works fine on my GIGA NAS. But that firmware needs the first hard disk as rootfilesystem, and should be not custom-partitioned (like i need). So, i’ve to work on that to let this image work on a JFFS2 flash image.
As SamTruman told, there are two more NASes out there: Netgear ReadyNAS Duo and Thecus N299. I will investigate on them, ASAP.
About my project: i’m porting OpenWRT to the Gemini and Centroid platforms, to let us replace official firmwares with this great project firmware. I really need to have a flash-based image with many optional packages that can be installed using the web GUI.
So, if you are interested… simply stay tuned!
