QNAP

The QNAP NAS TS-231 forms the basis of our local network shares and backup

2x 2TB Western Digital "Red" drives in RAID 1 configuration = 1.8 TB storage

locally on the network, it uses DHCP, with two ethernet nics (dual-homed) Access it via your network share (at 192.168.1.4 or 192.168.1.5) or externally at http://cloud.equality-tech.com

Operating System

The QNAP uses an operating system called QTS (based on Linux and GPL) QTS 4.2.1

Administration

Under the covers, the QNAP is a Linux box, so if you want to reset someones password, you can just use the passwd command as usual.

NAS Report

Here is a script which generates a script, and then runs it. Not sure why it's not just a plain script, but hey it's a neat trick. If you want to just use the script it generates, see /tmp/nasreport after invoking this. cat ./nas_report.sh

#!/bin/sh
rm -f /tmp/nasreport
touch /tmp/nasreport
chmod +x /tmp/nasreport
cat <<EOF >>/tmp/nasreport
#!/bin/sh
