I don't have a LIME but all the ARM devices in my signature run on Slackware ARM (including the NAS) with varying levels of customization.

What a champ ...

I have no intention of using my pi (3) as a NAS/SAN/whatever, but I do have an old GoFlex Home (single 1T disk). Might have to get a decent system installed on it.
Had never even thought of it. Cheers.

I made a custom alluminium rack so that my GoFlex Net's would be able to use ordinary 2.5" sata drives without the seagate enclosure. I think you should be able to do the same for the GoFlex Home and use any ordinary 3.5" sata drive and optionally also the 2.5" ones too if you like.
I see that you can now get 4Tb 3.5" sata drives ... not sure if they'll work in the GoFlex Home but what the hell you can still use it in your desktop if it doesn't.

The SlackwareARM installer (by Exaga) recommends you disable fsck at boot completely (because it lacks RTC, it would run at every boot).

For integrity, though boot times will be longer, wouldn't this be preferred (to fsck)?

Code:
cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/preferred_erase_size
reports 4194304 (4M)

Considering this, it would be advisable to :
  • align partitions to 4M boundaries
  • consider setting stride (?) parameter of ext4 to this value ?
  • set page size for swap partition to this value?
