It seems doable, but being a complete imbecile with regard to Linux and hacking I think (for me) it is better left to those capable of doing such things. Also I am not really sure what to do – the kwaak project seems a bit preliminary at this point.
So for me it would be easier if Firefly could just ignore/wait/retry if the NAS is (temporarily) unavailable.
Thanks for the link anyway – it was interesting
