I have an old PPC Linkstation that is somewhat broken... (search the
archives for my name to see the nature of the problems).  I am cleaning
house, and am willing to give this machine to anyone who will pay the
shipping.

I'm in the US, and I'm guessing that will be about $10-$15 in the US,
maybe $25 overseas.  That's just a guess, so don't hold me to that.

The unit is in physically good condition.  I replaced the fan, and will
include the original fan if it's still in the box.

I am offering it without hard drive, and without any promise that it
will work.  I can accept payment via PayPal.

Is anyone interested?  If so, please reply off-list.

Chris

Hi

I've tried a search and don't get much information.

Whats the biggest HDD I can swap the 250GB one I have to?  Is there an upper
limit the hardware can control or just the limit it's hard to get anything
greater than 500gb in IDE form any more?

I recently tried to attach an external USB drive 1 TB...which the Linkstation
HD-HLAN160, (or similar) could not mount.  I then manually formated a 500GB EXT3
partition using Gparted...and the Linkstation could not mount it.  Is it just
too big?  Anything (within reason) that can be done to use this external drive
with my full linkstation?

And sort of related...Is it worth my effort to attempt to put in a larger drive
inside the Linkstation, or at 5 years old, should I just replace it?

Firmware 2.27

Updated WebAccess 2.1 to 2.2
Updated lighttpd-1.4.13 (ssl) to lighttpd-1.4.19 (ssl) For WebAccess

This wasnt released with 2.26 due to thinking there was a new bug
it turns out there was a bug in 2.0 and 2.1 also

HTTPS/SSL Encryption turned on and uploading large files example
LS-DHGL_FW_227-shmod7.rar
results in the WebAccess crashing small files work, no Encryption works
IE8 works either way

This was confirmed by testing Buffalo's latest WebAccess firmware
HS-DHGL_211_101b.zip that runs WebAccess 2.0
The result was the same with my Firmware 2.26

WebAccess isnt coded that well by Buffalo the logfile is a joke
I have fixed up the error log slightly compared to Buffalo's release
due to updating components and such

but im not going in and fixing the HTTPS/Firefox crash and error log anymore
thats for buffalo to do not me!!

if you want this fixed goto http://forums.buffalotech.com/t5/Storage/bd-p/0101
and tell them you are running the latest HS-DHGL_211_101b firmware
and when HTTPS/SSL Encryption is on Webaccess crashes uploading large files with
Firefox

on a side note the heat on the top of my v2 linkstation I mentioned with
Firmware 2.25
is down to the psu on v2 linkstations running hotter than v1 linkstations
and is nothing to do with apps


http://www.mediafire.com/file/etlgjegjy0e/LS-DHGL_FW_227-shmod7.rar

Firmware 2.28

Fixed BitTorrent Web setup menu
Fixed BitTorrent Remember settings on reboot
Added favicon.ico
Updated to BusyBox v1.16.0 (2010-02-06 04:21:28 CST)
Added link for netstat
Added link for traceroute

Right, as Michael indicated, unsubscribing cannot be done by replying to a
thread.

If you want to unsubscribe from email notifications of new posts, you can either
follow these instructions:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/groups/original/members/manage/manage-26.html

Or just head to  http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/LinkStation_General and
click "Edit Membership" along the top after logging in.

You can adjust there your membership, and even what kind of email notifications
you get, e.g. a Daily Digest of communications.

I've been peeking at it for *years,* and was just setting up my Linkstation
DH250GL with Freelink when it went down.

Using a page in my browser's cache, I was able to finish the installation of
Freelink.  But there were some tweaks still to make (most specifically, getting
NFS set up).

Did the site run out of money?  Is it just a hardware failure?  Does anyone here
know?

Thanks!

Seems fine for me.  I even tried visiting a non-cached page and confirmed its up
and functional.

http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Add_a_Serial_port_to_the_PowerPC_Linkstation

There could have been some outage, but all looks fine at this time.

Cheers,
Tim

my setup:
- Windows 7
- Gigabit network: SMC switch + CAT6 cables
- LS-QL with 4 x 2TB set to RAID5

1. Music server:
I would like to install Squeezebox Server onto it.  Does anyone know how to do
it?  http://fieldnetworks.com/slim/linkstation.html only talks about other
models, not LS-QL.

2. Transfer rate:
I'm getting 10-12 MB/s writing speed from PC to NAS.  Anyway to improve this?  I
tried using Tera Copy but no improvement.

Same here - gigabit network but only managed 13mb/s with StevieWonder 2.28....

First post, so be gentle!!

My sole objective is just to get a Logitech Squeezebox system runninhg from a
recently purchased Buffalo Linksatation Live (Type LS-CHL V2D08 , 1Tb). It has
firmware v 1.24. The Linkstation shows up on my screen, and the Memeo back up
seems to be happily working away. I know next to nothing about Linux, but have
got to use it a bit in my frstrated efforts so far, see below.

The rest of the network is two computers both running XP. The Buffalo software
has only been loaded onto my computer, so far.

I managed with the help of Buffalo Technology to finally get web access,
clicking on the icon, though I had to use IE instead of my usual Firefox.

I then followed a detailed article in user forums> third party hardware at
slimdevices.com. The article was "Even easier Squeezebox install on Buffalo
Linkstations Pro and Live" by user Tired Legs. I got as far as running
acp_commander.jar using the cmd.exe box, in order to get telnet access. In spite
of positive return messages (the last said "you can now telnet to your box as
user 'root' providing no/an empty password") I have been unable to use telnet.

I nwas directed to other forums and found this connection there.

When I enter "telnet" followed by the IP address of the unit, in the cmd.exe
window, the response is "Could not open connection to the host on port
23:connect failed"

The windows firewall was disabled at the time. I have read of others getting the
port 23 response.

I have very little experience with Linux but am good at following instructions!

Any bright ideas?
