My icybox died recently and I've just replaced it with a Netgear
readynas duo 2110 1GB disc* . It runs Debian Sarge. I am really pleased
with it. Very easy to configure through the web interface, but it also
has a Linux application on the CD.
I tried to change the NFS mount from v3 to v4 but it would not mount,
"operation not permitted".
sudo mount -t nfs4 -o rw,hard,intr,bg backupserver:/ /archive
After adding the SSH addon (see below) and logging on, I had to add
"fsid=0" to /etc/exports
"/backup" *(fsid=0,insecure,insecure_locks,rw,async)
which defines the NFS v4 pseudo-filesystem root (only define one at the
top level). You then only need to mount the root "backupserver:/" in v4,
which in my config actually mounts the NAS /backup directory.
I was pleased to find it can run as an iscsi target too. It also has
links to the SSH .bin install file to get SSH access.

After installing I could not get a response when trying to initiate to
the server
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p backupserver --discover
The rc start/stop script /etc/init.d/rfw-iscsi-target needed the OPTIONS
set to the config path "-c /etc/ietd.conf", which it should use by
default. It also didn't stop the ietd process so fixed that too.

*Novatech £180 with an offer for a free second 1GB disc from Netgear. I
also purchased a new intel i3 laptop with no OS, saving £80 M$ tax.
