Hi All

I have a Seagate NASraq with 2 28Gb drives in a RAID 0 config. The unit is running Cobalt OS Release 4.1.

The NASraq currently only works as a local file server but there's no options for creating websites or ftp. Is there any way of installing ftp and site admin software through the pkg install web menu. (and if so can someone point tell me were the pkgs are available) Reason being I don't have a pc to do a restore to a raq2 spec and besides from what I can gather (and could be wrong) the raq 2 stops at OS 4.0.1 and doesn't format the drives as raids which I need.

If the only way to get the unit working as a web server is installing raq2 software I would wish to install larger drives for more space and so if things went wrong I could put the old ones back and still have a working unit. After reading through a few posts and sites I am confused as to what is the largest drives it's safe to install. Any one got anything bigger than stock running.

Cheers
Steve

Well the NASraq probably won't hold anything larger than 30gb drives

Off the top of my head I can't remember if the NAS is a RISC or not, but if so you can install various other environments fairly easily (RaQDevil, NetBSD/Cobalt) and the like. I have had success with an 80 gig drive using the NetBSD/Cobalt configuration on a RaQ2 and a 120gig on a Qube 2.

I think you have to install OS as a whole to get it to run as a webserver, with the appropriate packages. I don't know of any specific packages that tie in the way you're hoping for.
