RaidSonic ICY BOX har været et kendt brand længe, nu er det så småt over i open-source miljøet.
Dette indebærer forbedringer både for normale brugere men også for Linux tilhængere.
Features som Bonjour, som nok specielt er en feature som mange MAC brugere kender, har deres nye firmware også fået understøttelse af.
Mange features er endnu ikke med i systemet, men hvis man kigger på deres wiki er der mange på vej og mange gode forslag til ting folk gerne vil have.
September 29. The new open Linux firmware for the ICY BOX IB-NAS4220 is now available on the website of
RaidSonic: http://www.raidsonic.de/en/pages/service/driver.php
The new firmware offers serious improvements to operate the IB-NAS4220, for "normal users" as well as for Linux
specialists. Hard drives will come to a complete stop without any problem. As Bonjour is activated the NAS will
be recognized also in Mac networks.
This new open Linux firmware fulfills a strong desire particularly by
Linux enthusiasts. It offers new options for the engagement with the
operating system of the NAS4220 as well as further prospects for the
development of new applications. Surely it makes possible to use all
the applications already developed by the community. On the website
of the NAS community – http://nas-4220.org – you will find a lot of
those applications, as well as discussions, questions and answers.
The collaboration with the community is a matter of give and take. This is underlined by the fact that experts from
the community’s forum were involved in the testing of the new firmware.
RaidSonic emphasises with the development and supply of the open firmware 2.6.3.IB.1.RS.1 that particularly the
ICY BOX IB-NAS4220 as well as NAS in general will have a major role in the future. That applies for the collaboration
with the NAS community, too.
