Linksys NSLU2 Removable Media
I hooked up a compact flash reader to my NSLU2. The problem is when I
remove the card the NSLU2 get upset and its little disk light flashes. At that point it will not read any flash cards until in disconnect and reconnect the USB cable. Has anyone experienced this? Overall, I'm not too impressed with the NSLU2. It needs to be hand rebooted after a power failure. I spoke to Linksys about this and they admit it is a problem. It also take forever to boot. It is not to speedy. But by far its biggest problem is it won't accept FAT32 or NTFS volumes. Anyone else using this device having similar issues? |

It's not documented to support CF readers so why do you expect this to work? Overall, I'm not too impressed with the NSLU2. It needs to be hand rebooted after a power failure. I spoke to Linksys about this and they admit it is a problem. It also take forever to boot. It is not to speedy. It's a 73 buck substitute for a real file server and connects to the disk through a USB bridge. One would expect it to be slow. But by far its biggest problem is it won't accept FAT32 or NTFS volumes. That's not a problem for its intended use. The idea is that you plug a disk into it and leave it plugged in permanently, not that you use it as a substitute for a USB port on a computer. It's a dirt cheap file server that works like you would expect a dirt cheap file server to work, which is to say not particularly well. There's a reason that Novell and Microsoft can get a thousand bucks for their server software you know.
