2. One-liner for automating decryption via dlna via curl
  
  Hi, I had quite alot to archive off my main disk to an exfat USB drive. It's quite hard work doing this via the web interface, plus the dlna server uses an index id for the file name which can be confusing. I wrote a script to automate this but made it into a simple one-liner that builds a...

  You've fixed it! That package seemed to do the trick. Strangely usb-drive1 and usb-drive2 show no files, but now using blue button for storage, I can select the exfat drive - which is good enough for me. Thanks for your help!

10. Customized hard disk not recognised when upgrading to 3.0.3 custom firmware.
  
  Hi Thouky, This is exactly what I have seen - 3.0.3 means your hard disk is not detected, but with 3.0.2 there's no problem at all. We know that new SATA drivers were included with 3.0.3 release, so as you say, it looks like an issue with this type of hard disk and the new SATA drivers. We...

  Thanks for checking. I think it must be down to the new SATA driver, it probably won't detect my WD disk. No big deal, but worth noting in case other people have similar problems.

  Yep, you're right. This is a better way, /proc/net/dev actually gives much simpler output (easier to parse) and it's probably lower impact to query the kernel direct than to launch ifconfig to do this.
