Re: A USB HDD is trouble outbreak in debian7.7

2015-01-06 Thread Joel Rees
Thank you for the clarification.

I guess I misread those wikipedia pages. Reading it now, it looks like
maybe the page author was recommending booting the MAKAI distribution
on a PC to use as a base for installing the GLANTANK firmware?

And was GLANTANK supposed to be a customizable NAS, as I described it?
Or am I completely lost?

 XScale can't get support of Intel and no one maintains that.

 Intel XScale IOP Linux
 http://xscaleiop.sourceforge.net/
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/xscaleiop/files/

 MAKAI is unrelated to NAS and ARM.
 MAKAI is self-rebuildable LiveCD project.
 MAKAI supports x86, ONLY.
 It's Minimal system and not include NAS manager.

 This problem seems to have 2 problems.
 - XScale: The DMA function of XScale is not good. Intel failed to support it.
 - Hard drive: There may be also a problem with function of a JBOD controller.

Be careful when you look at conspiracy.
Look first in your own heart,
and ask yourself if you are not your own worst enemy.
Arm yourself with knowledge of yourself, as well.
