I like to upgrade to 1.1.2.5 and later build a firm with NFSv3 support.
Before flashing a new firm I'd like to save the current firmware. What are the steps to do this?
Thx, JockyW
PS: On ftp://taiwan.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/wireless/WL-HDD/ you find GPL1.1.2.4

hi,
i also like to know that...the 1.1.2.2 is _very_ buggy and I explore more bugs every day I _try_ to use my WL-HDD...:-( Without your announcment to build NFSv3 support, I would have given up....which such a buggy shi., ASUS will lose its reputation...Originally Posted by JOCKYW2001

I succesfully flashed 1.1.2.5. No chinese characters
But also no improvements and none of my burning problems solved
For example:
1. Mounting a share from WinXP works (R/W performance ~15mbs, not that fast). Mounting the same share on my satbox works, but I can't read nor write. Directorylisting is the only thing that works. Mount command used:
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.220/part1 /var/movies -o user=guest,password=none,domain=mygroup,unc=//192.168.1.220/part1,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,rw
2. From the web manager page I issue the following system command:
cat /dev/mtd/1 > /tmp/harddisk/part1/mtd1.img
The web manager page returns with the statusbox filled and the httpd doesn't respond anymore.
In the near future I try to build a customized 1.1.2.4 firm from the GPL sourcecode.
If anyone has clues for above problems please respond.

Seems to me this is more a SAMBA / CIFS issue (config / bug?)I succesfully flashed 1.1.2.5. No chinese characters

Maybe you can get an answer on the forum where this topic was posted:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux...st/000331.html
and some background info on CIFS: http://searchenterpriselinux.techtar...921657,00.html

This will not work, you need to place everything to brackets, like this:
Code:(cat /dev/mtd/0 > /tmp/harddisk/part1/pmon) (cat /dev/mtd/1 > /tmp/harddisk/part1/flash)

Hi,
I also think so.
@all
Is there anybody who use the WL-HDD with CIFS/Samba/Linux because of missing NFS-Support ?
Is there a customized Kernel for a WL-XXX with NFS-Server and is that a performance boost ?

No, doesn't work

strange. yet another option - save full busybox to your drive and start telnet, just like described in other posts.

Unfortunately doesn't work either. All files with right permissions are in /tmp, the symlink as well. But telnetd doesn't run

hm.. telnet runs here fine.. at wl-hddUnfortunately doesn't work either. All files with right permissions are in /tmp, the symlink as well. But telnetd doesn't run

oh, thank you very much! Please also take a look to the FileSystem/ClusterSize/FAT...there must be something wrong imo...it should be 48Bit for Addressing but it is 16Bit...that is absolutley useless and waist very much Space on the HD.
Thank you very much,

Yeah, works here also now. This shitty M$ IE had downloaded the bins as textfiles

It's a Windows bug. M$ can not determine the correct used diskspace for whatever reason.
If I show the properties of all directories and files on my 40GB part1 partition then WinXP says: 599 files, 144 folders, size= 716MB, size on disk=1.23GB
Now I can telnet into the WL-HDDand df shows:
40316328 1k-blocks of which 736136 are used which is ~719MB

It can also be a samba bug as well...

thank you for the answer. That sounds good, but I fear Bill Gates won't fix that bug for me ;-) and it makes the WL-HDD useless for many small files...you'll get a stupid Disk Full Message which is not true....any idea?It's a Windows bug. M$ can not determine the correct used diskspace for whatever reason.

Is it possible, that it also has something to do with CIFS/SMB/Samba and it's not really a MS$-bug? I look forward to your NFSv3-Implementation :-)
Did you also try 'df' from Linux with a CIFS-Client...i'll try it tonight from my DBox...I remember it was not ok....but I'm not sure...
<edit>
...from Linux with a CIFS-Client (DBox) 'df' shows right results...so filesystem seems to be ok.
