99% of NAS boxes, maybe, but not dumb RAID boxes like the one I believe you?re
referring to.

(And I doubt even that, with the likes of FreeNAS extending down from the
enterprise space where consumer volume can affect that sort of thing.)

I have more than speculation to back that guess: the available firmware images
are far too small to contain a Linux OS image, their manuals don?t talk about
Linux or GPL that I can see, and there?s no place to download their Linux source
code per the GPL.

While doing this exploration, I?ve run into multiple problems with their web
site, which strengthens my suspicion that this box is your culprit.  If they?re
this slipshod with their marketing material, what does that say about their
engineering department?

Yeah, and the instructions for setting RAID-1 or RAID-0 have the switch
positions exactly reversed.

Strahil: I'm using autofs to automount the unit. but just turned that off
and enabled the xsystemd.automount in fstab, we'll see how that works.
