I was having many problems with my valkyrie. Thank god I returned it and got a Netgear readyNas Duo(RND2110) and I am very impressed with the features, easy setup and amazing support! -no offense to the lone support guy CJ on here, he's quite knowledgeable.

Highly recommended, good luck guys.

double the price but it does sound good.

Congrats, this is what everybody should do, return the crap... I see in the Netgear's device specs that has support for "NFS v2 / v3 for Linux and UNIX".

"Patriot NAS crap" will advertise that their crap has NFS support and when you ask them where is NFS, nobody will say a word ...

Sorry "Patriot CJ" if you're not working for your dad's family business, just look for a job in a more serious company.

PS. I'm just curious for how long I will see my message posted

Granted, this box does have some problems...

but for the price tag it's a nice option for someone not looking to blow a huge amount of money and get value level performance out of it. For under 150$ its really hard to do better--or even close

I fixed my issues with NFS support by buying a DLink DNS-321 NAS solution and taking the drives from my patriot and putting them in there.

Couple of notes of the DNS-321:

1. You have to update to latest firmware to support 2 TB drives.
2. In order to configure NFS support for XENSERVER I had to telnet / SSH into the host and run a cat /etc/exports after setting up a NFS share to determine the share path.
3. To get shell access you need to hack the box a little using the fun_plug utility. http://wiki.dns323.info/howto:fun_plug
Download the the v.5 fun_plug text file and fun_plug.tgz file and place them into the default volume_1 then reboot the device. It will automatically setup the device, then just telnet into the host and follow some of the how-2 guides on the internet to setup SSH, etc.

The reason why I posted this information here because I still have my Patriot V2 NAS. My hope is that the mythical firmware will be released soon and will support NFS and that the developers take a look at the dlink dns-321 "beta" community to get an idea on how to implement new features as technology changes, but also support the hobbiest community that want deeper access and control.

I think this device has some potiential with the lifetime warrenty, faster processor, and memory.

My hope is the V3 will address the heating issue.
