Hello,
After running 1.9.2.7-7e for the past year, I upgraded to 1.9.2.7-8 the other day. In general it's a great improvement... no hacking needed to get Vista to recognize the Samba shares, stupid-ftp replaced by default with vsftp, etc. So now about the only thing my post-boot script does is to activate the swap partition, dropbear, and set up auto-spin down for the drive.
In other words, I'm configuring Samba using the built-in web server, and in general its options work fine... if I tell it to auto-share everything (all partitoins) it does, if I specify specific directories to share, that works fine too. However, I have noticed one problem... if Samba is set to auto-share all partitions, when you boot the WL-HDD the hard drive is shared... great. Next I'll plug in a USB memory stick, and it gets auto-mounted to /tmp and shared... still great. However, if I now *remove* the memory stick, not only does the stick get unmounted, but the hard drive does too! Yikes! If I plug the memory stick back in, *both* the hard drive and the memory stick get re-mounted, although the memory stick is mounted in a new location under /tmp.
I'm something of a Linux newbie, so could someone direct me to which scripts or configuration files perform the auto-mounting/unmounting when a USB device is plugged in/removed? I expect this is some small bug there...
Thanks for your help... Oleg's firmware is fantastic!
