Re: Will it work for QNAP 420?
Having the root file system on a usb flash drive will work fine. I would advice you to get two identical sticks and dd the data from your installed stick to a backup stick once installation is finished. Usb sticks tend to wear over time. They last 2-3 years for me. /B On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 9:26 PM, Hoshpak wrote: > Am 23.08.2013 20:23, schrieb Shawn Landden: > > On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 10:27 AM, George Sedov >wrote: > > >> 3) Can I install rootfs not on the SATA drives, but rather on the usb > >> flash-stick, thus leaving all of the drives completely system-free? > >> Maybe there are some other ways to keep the system off the disks? > >> > > i'm wondering how they do it with only 16MB of flash anyways, you > could > > always netboot it via tftp from u-boot > > Only kernel, initrd and uboot are installed into the internal flash > memory.

If you use the original Qnap firmware, they only have a pretty minimal system installed by default and install the bigger part of the firmware onto the harddrives once you plug them in and run the initialization wizard. If you use the Debian installer, you have the option to use the harddrives for the root file system or some other attached storage like an usb drive. I use the later option with my Qnap TS219 P II and it works fine. Since the 420 doesn't seem to be that different (probably the same chipset with minor modifications), I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work with this device also.

Will it work for QNAP 420?
Hi everyone, I'm thinking about buying a QNAP 420, so can you please help me with some questions: 1) First of all, will it work? 2) I need transmission, amule, proftpd, samba, murmur, openvpn, squid and ntop. Does arm-debian have all these? 3) Can I install rootfs not on the SATA drives, but rather on the usb flash-stick, thus leaving all of the drives completely system-free? Maybe there are some other ways to keep the system off the disks? 4) Will I manage all this without any experience with debian? :) I used gentoo for several years though. Thanks in advance Cheers, George -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
