Uses a Linux operating system, for what that's worth.

Does its job quietly. I find that it doesn't like to max out my 100 based network, gets up to about 50%, but fast enough for me although filling it up to start off with can take a day or two!

Also, any USB drives you attach are read-only, unless you format them in EXT3 Linux format (so can't read them back in windows unless you download and use an application, like LTools).]]>Jun 22nd 2006 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/22/buffalo-spices-up-spacious-nas-line/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/22/buffalo-spices-up-spacious-nas-line/
What about FAT32? That should be R/W accessible by both Windows and Linux.

The limitations to that buffalo is that its running an embedded linux 2.4 kernel and an XFS partition schema.

What this means to the geek: You cant have any files on there that are over 2gig. Neither the kernel or the partition can support files over 2gig, so the thing instantly became useless to my company.

Heres my little writeup on my adventures with the thing:

The Terastation has problems copying files larger than 2GB because of SAMBA (Windows network support).

OTOH, NFS v2 also has a file size limit of 2GB, so I assume that the previous poster installed NFS v2 on the TeraStation.

In my experience XFS works perfectly with files larger than 2GB (it's a 64bit FS), both in kernel 2.4 and in kernel 2.6; see http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/
