Bekijk de volledige versie : Status of IDE support in WL 500 Gx firmware?
Hi,
just a note before a long 4 day week end to know if there need to be some stuff done to help for IDE support in Oleg's firmware. Is it already sorted out, or does it still need more research to mount the drives?
I can go back to my work table if needed for something
At the moment I've finished examining ASUS wl-hdd ide stuff. The modules are in fact built using 1.7.5.6 kernel sources as base with several modifications. ASUS wl-hdd kernel sources is the real fake...
So, for now I've backported 1.7.5.6 stuff to newer kernel used in the 1.8.1.7 (promise ide module is really buggy - someone has "adjusted" it to make it unusable).
Yesterday Antliloop was able to load recompiled ide modules, but no partitions was showed as before. Probably something is missing is the kernel, or we've yet another bug. I'm still invistigating this.
Current version is available here - wl500g.dyndns.org/WLHDD-1.8.1.7-3-pre13.trx it should load ide stuff automatically on boot, don't know if this help us to workaround partitions problems. You may want to try this on your wl-hdd.
Also, i need a dmesg output from with native firmware running - you will need to copy full busybox to your drive. It whould be great if you post it here.
Also, cat /proc/pci from native firmware required.
ok, I'm in. I still have to investigate further, but I can see the partitions. Right now, I cannot mount them: I get this:
mount: Mounting /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 on /tmp/harddisk failed: Invalid argument
using mount /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /tmp/harddisk
I probably have to set a paramter, but I didn't had to with previous frimware.
Telnet is buggy, auth doesn't work properly. I have to access using admin web page. i'll try to mount a simple telnetd without auth if I get access to hdd.
I'll post need dump after this post
here is /proc/partition:
major minor #blocks name
3 0 5276880 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
3 1 5178568 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
3 2 98280 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2
Result are coherent

Can somebody help me with a busybox version and instruction to create and format a partition under fat or ext3 filesystem?

now usb hotplug works too, also powerled is not flashing anymore
telnet is working fine.. just turn off your wl-hdd and then on..
otherwise l/p root / empty
after poweroff/on admin / admin
Can somebody help me with a busybox version and instruction to create and format a partition under fat or ext3 filesystem?
Wait for -pre15, it will include e2fs-progs...
or maybe we can add ext2fs support? Most of the Wl-hdd user will have this file system by default as soon as they format using the web pages

or maybe we can add ext2fs support?
It's just a waste of the flash space. I think ASUS will switch to ext3.
Also maybe we can add something like this to startup?
makedevs /dev/hda b 3 0 0 8 s
Use /dev/ide instead, I see no objections for creating /dev/hda.
Also, what can be done to make wireless work? I don't get any SSID brodcasted, but I still can get wl command to work
[admin@(none) /tmp]$ wl status
SSID: "arda2"

Should work out of the box. Probably settings problem.
should I expect fdisk to work? Even if it looks like it works, I don't get any change done:
here is a sample:

Is it a normal behaviour, or does this mean there is still not full access to IDE?

Should work out of the box. Probably settings problem.
I was thinking about asus users that don't have access to their HD without the wl-hdd. This ones will have to use dedicated format tools or to have ext2 support as this is the only type you can get using the web interface or the telnet access. As you planned to add tools to format in ext3, this should be solved by the next version.
As for the wireless, going to router mode then back to AP mode make it works. There should be a parameter that is not set by default
no, either busybox was not correctly rebuild or fdisk is buggy.
Try wl500g.dyndns.org/WLHDD-1.8.1.7-3-pre15.trx - I've recompiled busybox and added mke2fs and e2fsck.
To create ext3 fs just type
mke2fs -j /dev/ide/...
faliing at journal creation:
[admin@wl-hdd /]$ mke2fs -j /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)

Works without journaling. I still have to find the proper mount command
Try creating with journal size of zero, I will check for this error.
Got it. Had to create 2 partitions, create a journal using the -O journal_dev paramter, then make the fs using the -J device=/dev/hda2
Mount is ok. I can start working now
Uploaded pre16 - please check it, should work with -j
working ok. We just need to automont HD now. I've been testing copy and file operations, and it is behaving correctly. Wireless is ok too. Samba is awfully buggy and slow and there is no way to access the HDD out of the box. But it's just a question of time now
EDIT: This comment is for pre15, as I could finaly get my fs created.
I'm trying the pre16 right now
pre16 can format using the -j option as planned
Well, for now mount your disk in the post-boot script, this is really easy.
As for samba - you need create correct config files for using it. Also, you should set LAN hostname for samba to work. And yes, samba is now uses users/passwords.
Mine files are as following:

wireless works here after restoring defaults via the button out of box..

ehmz..
well mounting goes out of box..?
at this moment i'm too lazy to get out of my bed to unplug the usbstick that i've sticked in.. maybe the usb stick is causing the auto-mount of both devices:
[admin@WLHDD root]$ mount
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 on /tmp/harddisk type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/discs/disc1/part1 on /tmp/harddisk/part1 type vfat (rw,sync)
i've found an error, when using DHCP (as client thus in AP mode) /etc/hosts uses 192.168.1.1 as ip_address and thus NMBD thinks it's that IP..
when setting it static, it works around the problem
at this moment i can't write when using samba.. have to look further..
i will also try ftp..

That's it: Automount only work with an USB stick inserted. Otherwise, you have to mount manually
I've added the correct parameters in post boot to sort this out

eh yes.. forgot to post that yesterday.. :D
but this should be piece of cookie to change it in the bootup scripts..
