• ReadySHARE only supports drives up to 4TB in size. Some routers have an even smaller limit.
• If you are using a drive with multiple partitions, ReadySHARE can, between firmware upgrades (or maybe reboots?) switch which partition is presented in which Samba folder.
• ReadySHARE seems to change the mount point / "share name" of attached devices based on the the current phase of the moon.

Generating SSH keys with Arq

Tested with Arq 5.

I encountered some issues trying to add my existing SSH key pairs with Arq. I saw errors like:

[path to key]: Key 'OPENSSH' is not supported.

Working with s3cmd on rsync.net

This document lists some problems I encountered using s3cmd on rsync.net and how I solved them.

Uploading with the ONEZONE_IA class

s3cmd sync doesn't support the --storage-class argument, and even that doesn't support the ONEZONE_IA storage class. You can still upload objects to that class by specifying the x-amz-storage-class header, but s3cmd sync will ignore that. The best solution I have is to upload your files as you normally would, then use s3cmd modify to set the storage class after upload.
