HDD new init

[Zatanas]

Hello,

i want to init my hdd complete new but i dont have any visible menu to do that via browser.

is there a way to make this via telnet?
my firm is 1.9.2.7-7e.

I can see the hdd in /tmp/harddisk but i coudn´t log in via ftp (home directory not found)

many thanks for answers

best regards
Z

Hi,

You need to use telnet to format the disk as there is no option from Olegs firmware.

Have a look at http://www.sprayfly.com/wiki/Filesystem
for full details as it can be a bit involved depending on how you've already got it set up.

If you have any questions before you format, post them here.

Cheers

thank you for the replay..

i have done all things that are mentioned in the wiki but at the end i have a error message while i was trying to mount my new formatet HDD

mount: Mounting /dev/discs/disc0/part1 on /opt failed: Invalid argument


swapon /dev/discs/disc0/part2
this did not show any errormessages

thanks you for any ideas

i just see that someone else in another thread has the same problem than i have..

i hope its not a firmwarebug :-(

I must admit that I am using an older firmware version (1.9.2.7-6b).

Check the following via a telnet login :-

1) ls -l /
This should show all directories in the root and opt should be there.
Try "cd /" and "mkdir opt" if opt is not there.
2) df
This should show if the disc is mounted to somewhere else.
Try "umount <mount directory> to unmount the disc.

If you have a /opt and the disc is not mounted elsewhere then "mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /opt" should work.

If you can't mount it manually, then trying older firmwares might be your only workaround.

Anybody else have any ideas or have got the disk mounted to /opt with the latest firmware?

mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /opt

[AVM701@AsusWlanHDD /opt]$ mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /opt
mount: Mounting /dev/discs/disc0/part1 on /opt failed: Invalid argument

i have the dir /opt but its complete empty

df shows

[AVM701@AsusWlanHDD /opt]$ df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 3008 3008 0 100% /


so i think nothing is mounted

and thats my current firm 1.9.2.7-7e

thanks for any replay

are you sure part1 is the partition you want to mount??

if it is your swappartition it will give an error
and is your partition formated ??
