It sounds like the Onstream DI-30's aren't supported *at all*. I'm trying
to get one going with a recompile, but I didn't think I would run into any
trouble setting flexbackup to a 32k blocksize.
It sounds like you already have some information about getting them working
(all the ugly workarounds). Would you mind sharing that information
(privately is fine)? Specifically, I'm wondering what kind of changes need
to be made to flexbackup.conf.
I would really appreciate it, thank you in advance!
