no one?

With udev-automount installed, I don't think I've had an issue.

Hmm, I boot from SATA, but again, I've no issues. I'd like to add that just because it's not working as you expect does not mean it is broken. The handling is obviously different.

It could also be that the udev rules in the udev-automount package need a refresh or update. That is a package we provided on our own for purely convenience purposes, and so far it's worked but udev has also been on a rapid update cycle recently.

Sorry for reviving this old thread but my finger now is getting very itchy to click on that order button for this V4 from Amazon. I am currently using V2 (E02) with Alarm installed. Everything works beautifully except when I try to view some movies with my iPad 2 (using Buzzplayer app that supports Samba). It stutters on certain movies. Does anyone notice any difference in performance between V2 and V4? I understand there are more powerful boxes such as Buffalo Linkstation Pro (1.6Ghz) or QNAP 119PII (2Ghz) but I worry that I may not be able to get ALARM to work on these two. My impression is that they don't seem to be as popular in this ALARM community. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks schn4rk. I have another "Linux box" at home, i.e. an old Compaq core duo laptop (running text only Ubuntu). After I copied the same MKV movie to this Compaq laptop, it doesn't stutter at all when viewed with my iPad Buzzplayer over SMB. That was why I concluded that the stuttering was caused by the slower processor of my Pogo V2. Again, the stuttering only occurs on certain MKV movies.

hi all. I'm new to this forum and to ALARM. I recently purchased a Series4 with hopes of setting up ALARM to use my Series4 as a NAS device. I currently have a 3TB USB3.0 external drive that I plan to use. I am considering getting a second 3TB drive with the hopes of having a RAID 1 setup (can't risk losing 3TB of data).

Is this possible with ALARM for the Series4? Do I need to do it during the setup/formatting of the drive or can I add it in later when I buy the second drive?

Thanks in advance for the help.
