danke, thank you - but I need to replace the Raidsonic firmware then
with your Tinky firmware, right?

Not that I am really afraid to do this, but open brain surgery on this
device needs a full HD backup before, and as stated in the Wiki: WHERE
the heck should I backup my 300 GB data to? :-) I assume that I have
to re-partion the HD after the new firmware has been uploaded, right?
Or is the backup hint in the wiki just for the cautious among us? :-)

(didnt backup the NAS when I upgraded from firmware 1.x to 2.x - the
NAS broke but the data on the HD was still ok :-O )

hehe sorry should have read the mail before anwsering ..

im not sure if the default fw (busybox) comes with
sysctl if so you can tweak the start script

/usr/hddapp/etc/rc.d/S85nfs.sh

and define a bigger value to
NFS_QS
