Just a quick message with my current kernel booting Debian on the Lacie NS. It boots and runs fine.

As you can see XFS is not working yet. When adding xfs to the kernel it will fail to boot. I have yet to try the module.
Apart from xfs the only real problems are reboot and shutdown not actually turning of the board (HDD spins down).
The led is a nice to have but not a must.
PS: The link you posted is giving a 404.
