Setting up Alt-f Firmware on Dlink DNS-320L Nas


Summary

-- These are cheap 2-bay NASs
-- I have DNS-320L
-- Firmware is rubbish
-- Alt-F is a replacement

Non persistant File system

On Alt-F, by contrary, any change will be lost in the next reboot. The exception is a set of well defined files, the "Settings", that are saved in flash memory and loaded on the next reboot (or on demand), and that overrides the defaults.
To override this, there is a set of files in /Alt-F that will be pulled on boot to overlay on the existing file system. eg to change loadsave_settings

aufs.sh -n
mkdir -p /Alt-F/usr/sbin
cp /usr/sbin/loadsave_settings /Alt-F/usr/sbin/loadsave_settings

edit /Alt-F/usr/sbin/loadsave_settings and fix the error
aufs.sh -r

Notes

By default you need to create a user, and then you can log in with SSH with this user. The web password is admin (to begin with) so change it obviously. When in SSH you can su to root, with the password admin.. then change it with passwd straight away.

By default, the web admin panel and samba are not available across subnets, (in the web you'll just get a "403 Forbidden" error). You have to use the overlay file system changes for modify the /etc/httpd.conf and /etc/samba/smb.conf files.
