Please see the 2009 Update section of my blog post for news about Linux support. At this time, it looks like Drobo is focusing on the consumer mass market, and linux will remain a perpetual "beta" for mgmt. tools and filesystem support like ext3. The Open Source drobo-utils lets you manage drobos from linux (GUI, command-line and python), and reportedly works well with firmware 1.1.1 and higher. However, if you use a supported filesystem like NTFS or HDFS on the Drobo, then you can connect via iSCSI or LAN with the DroboShare option. Hi Charles.

I've been looking around for this, thinking they would have linux support rolled out by now. Do you have any link to information company about linux support? It has linux support?
