Linux (my Ubuntu) seems to have some problems with SMBFS filesystems. I have the USB2-drive of my laptop mounted in a similar fashion as the WD-MyBook, and that has some hangs occassionally too. So I don’t suspect the MyBook (for now).
\nOther than that, the MyBook isn’t superfast. It’s only connected at 100Mbit now (it has GLAN interface), I don’t know if that will explain it.<\/p>\n
The Mionet software on Windows XP stopped working. For some reason it thinks the MyBook is offline. I’ve resetted the drive and the laptop (poweroff -> poweron), but to no change.<\/p>\n
Windows Vista has problems with the x-bit in the fileprotections. On Linux my files are created with rwxr-xr-x fileprotection. Probably because of Windows Vista’s excellent (*ahum*) UAC that does not like the execute-bit on external drives, it chooses not to show ANY file with that bit on. Changing the filemode to rw-r–r– does the trick. It took me a while to discover that. Windows XP has NO problem with the execute-bit.<\/p>\n
So my first impression: cheap storage, lousy (Windows only) software. No further comments for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
