Seems like the firmware doesn’t recognized the replaced hard disk and the web interface still complains that the RAID 5 is degraded. Telnet into the DNS-343 and check the status of /dev/md0 (mdadm –detail /dev/md0). The RAID 5 is running on 3 disks and the 4th disk has not been added back into the RAID array.
Seems like /dev/sdd2 has not been added back to the array. Hot added the /dev/sdd2 (mdadm –add /dev/md0 /dev/sdd2) and viola! The RAID 5 array is complete again. The DNS-343 is happily syncing the data when checked (mdadm –detail /dev/md0).
My workplace needed a simple forum to test out some stuffs and so happened hangyong also needed one. So must as well I document the installation procedure for him as well. Researched abit on available forum scripts (phpbb, smf, etc.) and in the end settled with SMF for its lighter memory footprint.

Like its predecessor (DNS-313, DNS-323), the unit is fun_plug-able straight out of the box. You don’t need to modify anything to get the fonz’s fun_plug going. Just download the fun_plug.tgz and fun_plug file and place it on Volume_1. Restart the device and it will be installed! You can check it by telnet-ing to your DNS-343.
Note: Download fun_plug.tgz and fun_plug file from fonz’s website

Just to fill you guys in, my network is capable of handling gigabit transfer rate and it is proudly powered by DIR-655 and D-Link’s Green Ethernet DGS-1008D Gigabit switch. Next, allow me to share with you guys the equipments I used to perform this test.
