Yes I have an EX2 Ultra now so why am I posting this back in my old stomping grounds? because there are about 3 users in the EX2 forums; including myself so I get about 3 reads in 6 hours. The EX2 ultra is identical to the Single Bay My Clouds anyways so any complaint about the EX2 is a complaint a…

fun_plug would be much more useful if it did not have to live on the USB port.

you know. that’s actually something that i’ve never thought about! thanks for sharing it! lately i am more focused since i’m on best peptides and since i found this forum site. thanks.

Yes it would. But it checks all USB devices that are connected. On the Dlink DNS-323 they checked the a2 partition for fun_plug. Not sure if you could modify system_init to look else where. But I think that the mfg_start would also need to be modified. Or if you do modify system_init. Have it …

There are very low profile USB sticks that barely stick out of the port. See for instance, sandisk’s cruzer fit series. The EX2 has 2 usb ports, but I hate to blow one like this. I would much rather put two USB ethernet PHYs on , and find a way to build the appropriate driver .ko files and load the…

Says the man who does not know the joys of multipath io…

One could rebuild system_init to call fun_plug from /mnt/HD/HD_a2. Files don’t get removed from this location. Once build and installed. You only need to modify fun_plug as changes are needed. I would put the test and call for fun_plug near the call to mfg_start.
