linux: does anyone know what filesystem this uses and if it will work with Ubuntu?

I have tried this with Kubuntu (K-system version of Ubuntu) and it appears to classify as a Samba(SMB) share and works pretty much out of the box w/o any extra software. Quoted from the openMSS.org website, some insight on the inner workings: "The MSS uses the Reiser filesystem which supports files larger than 4GB. smbfs does NOT support files larger then 2GB (on the 2.6.2 and open 2.6.2 firmware.) The CIFS filesystem DOES support files larger then 2GB. NFS should support files larger than 4GB (someone please confirm this for both MSS and MSS+)" The box is for the most part an embedded Linux server. The drives you attach to the USB chain must be formatted FAT32, according to the instructions. Maybe there is a way around this with firmware h4x. Check warranty.

I recall it worked with my version of Ubuntu, but that was a long time ago, not sure what version of Ubuntu u have and the firmware version right now. Sorry, cant be of more help.

Sorry, I have no idea what you are asking me about, all I can tell you is that this drive works with a USB port, other than that, I can't help you :(

I am not that familiar of this type of components, all I know is that this is an external hard drive.Sorry, I am not of great help to you.

I think it does it's own format. I use NTFS Windows 7 Pro. It works great with drag & drop, ftp, and it's proprietary filesystem. I love it!

As I remember, the owners manual does not mention those file types. I would not expect them to work.

I'm sure it will work with Linux, especially Ubuntu. This thing should just need generic UCSB thumb driver. Other than that, it's just file system. I'm sure you can format it in any different way to work with all OS. I'd go for NTFS. I don't know if Redhat base will support FAT32 or not. If you can, I'd format FAT32 for this. It will limit the size to only 30GB, but then you're not paying huge overhead to index something large. If you format it to NTFS, you'll get it less than 30 GB for sure.

Hi! We don't have a driver/software for Linux that will work with this adapter.

I don't think you can. This unit uses its own proprietary file system (a pain, IMHO), and formats the drives at install.It's a decent unit if you know your way around linux and have time to configure it, but I have to say that overall it's not a system you can easily jump into and set up quickly...

It's a standard "Asmedia 1061 SATA Host Controller", backwards compatible with standard AHCI controller. I would assume that will work under Linux too. Actually the latest Win drivers don't support TRIM on SSD - while with standard AHCI works (or with older Windows drivers).

I am unfamiliar with NTFS. What would an example of that be? I'd be happy to help with more information.

I think it does, worst case scenario it doesn't work and you send it back to the seller. I wouldn't though as it worked on 3 different hard drives I used it on and I was able to get all my data. None were Linux but they were all different and it worked on all of them.

Running freenas (freeBSD) on it without problems. Don't see why Linux would be any problem.

I have not tried it with Linux to this point. ..I have a feeling it won't automount as it did in windows though. ..

I run a 32-bit Vista system. Formatted a 4tb drive GTP/NTFS, connected via eSata and it is both fast and reliable. USB does not work.
