mount-point with WL-HDD

[kiesceki]

I try to share the internal hdd of the wl-hdd with my local network.
I read the tutorials to install ipkg packages and samba.
It's ok with an usb external hdd, but i can't see the internal harddrive.

df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 3008 3008 0 100% /
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 33996740 40560 32229196 0% /opt

does the internal hdd work with /opt as mount-point?

thanks

Someone can help me?

When you disconnect your usb drive and give the command df, you will probably see also "/dev/discs/disc0/part1" ,with my wlhdd, that's my drive......
Otherwise you have to mount it?
And what firmware are you using? Otherwise start of with the original fw or jockyw's fw. Is a bit simpler.

yes i see the same thing


And what firmware are you using?
I have upgraded asus 1.2.3.4 with 1.9.2.7-6b by Oleg

does the wl-hdd work with :mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /opt ?
and share works (writeable) with windows explorer ?
thank you

Yes, why shouldn't? Just follow the tutorials on macsat.com en start with the tut about ipkg packaging. Then your drive will be mounted, partitioned, formatted etc.

Attention: in samba tut is only smbd command mentioned, you need also nmbd command to actually SEE you shares in you network neighborhood. (It took me 2 days to figure that out.:rolleyes:)

Thanks for your help
I followed the tutorials on mascat.com :
- ipkg package system
- windows network / Samba

I started nmbd manuelly and i can see my share with XP. but i can't read or write.
in ftp mode i can't see the share.

What is the exactualy command for start nmb in S97Samba ?
How can i read and write my share ?

In your smb.conf must be something like:
[Share]
path = /opt/{name of folder}
writeable = yes
browseable = yes

With ls -al you can see permissions on files/folders and with chmod you can change this.

What I put in S97samba was just: nmbd -D

For ftp, follow the macsat ftp guide, I didn't set it up yet

Remark: I'm no expert, this few things I picked up along the way.

Now, with your help, Samba works very well.
any "expert" has answered me! happily, there are people as you.
thank you very much again ebk71.
