I found
http://www.myopenrouter.com/article/24910/Quick-Review-and-Specs-NETGEAR-WNDR4000-Wireless-Dual-Band-Gigabit-Router/
which tells me the USB port will accept these filesystems:
FAT16/32, NTFS Read/Write, Ext 2 Read/Write, Ext 3 Read/Write
which is fine as my backups are on an ext3 filesystem.
But nowhere can I find any info on what protocols this router uses
for filesharing. Will I have to use Samba/smbfs? No NFS? 'man mount' tells me
The filesystem types which are currently supported include:
adfs, affs, autofs, cifs, coda, coherent, cramfs,
debugfs, devpts, efs, ext, ext2, ext3, ext4, hfs, hfsplus, hpfs,
iso9660, jfs, minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs, nfs4, ntfs, proc, qnx4,
ramfs, reiserfs, romfs, squashfs, smbfs, sysv, tmpfs, ubifs,
udf, ufs, umsdos, usbfs, vfat, xenix, xfs, xiafs.
This router supports MacOS filesharing, aren't some of the above
filetypes related to that? I dunno MacOS, just linux. Thanks for yer help.
