ability to mount XFS and other standard linux file systems

[TinCanFury]

It would be nice to be able to install the files required to allow for the mounting of more standard linux filesystems, like XFS.

thanks!

Hi
ASUSTOR is base on linux base file system like ext2/ext3....
Why are you need xfs file systems??

because some people use linux on other machines with drives that are not ext2/3, and being able to mount them directly to the NAS would be great. adding support for these other file systems is easy since Asustor is already using linux.

What NAS do you have? I might be able to build you a module.

Anyway, you should leave a support request for ASUSTOR to add support for XFS mounting!

I have the AS5004T, I'll go onto the website and figure out how to do that. thanks!

If you wish to try it out you can download the kernel module from here.

You will need to move it to your NAS and try to load it, like so:

Code: Select all

tar xvzf xfs.ko-x86_64.tar.gz
insmod xfs.ko
dmesg | tail

The dmesg is there to see what the kernel says when you try to load it.

NOTE I do not have a kernel config for the AS-50 series, this was based on the AS-60 kernel config. They use the same kernel version but I have no way of knowing if the configs are the same.
