Netgears ReadyNAS range of products is a series of network storage devices. I recently bought their DUO model for use as a safe storage of files and for media streaming of both music and movies. I chose the DUO for three reasons. One it has support for all popular clients OS’s, two it comes with a preinstalled squeezebox server and three my local dealer ran a campaign on them.
The client software called raidar has a somewhat broken installation script for linux. It is written for bash but specifies bourne shell in the shebang. This is solved by specifying bash when executing it, like so:
bash ./setup_Linux.sh
Also if running from a machine without a graphical environment you’d want to add -c as an arg to the script to force it to run as a CLI installer, like so:
bash ./setup_Linux.sh -c
So what if lightning strikes or your house burns. It’s better you give your new toy to your brother, and then sync it whith Unison.

No problem! You can have it! But we’d have to set up a gigbit network between our houses so that I can continue to stream music and movies from it!
