Hi, I believe this is option is standard available. But, if you use the hdd for swap and/or have cron installed (which accesses the hdd every minute) the hdd doesn't have any 'inactive' time so it won't spin down. Also, from what I read from the forum is that the WiFi WLAN function causes hdd-access so it won't spin down when WLAN is enabled.

anyway, the following link should provide information: http://wlhdd.co.uk/wiki/HDD_Standby

code: (for spindown after 10 minutes)

Code:

hdparm -S 120 /dev/discs/disc0/disc

(info taken from thread: http://www.wl500g.info/showthread.ph...highlight=spin)

problem with permissions when installing ipkg

Hi,
I already installed Oleg, before I was using OpenWRT on my Asus wl500gp.
All works fine for me,but I have problem with permissions to /opt dir.

Quote:

[root@WL-001BFC918B60 root]$ mkdir -p /opt/tmp
mkdir: Cannot create directory `/opt/tmp': Read-only file system

the same or similar when I trying:

mkdir -p /opt/tmp
ipkg.sh install ipkg-opt
mkdir /opt/tmp

I searched the web with google and I can't find any solution when I'm not using an external usb-hdd. I want to install ipkg, mc, nano, iptraf and maybe 4 apps more - I don't need usb-hdd.... I think ;)

Quote:

[root@WL-001BFC918B60 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)

Quote:

[root@WL-001BFC918B60 root]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 2.9M 2.9M 0 100% /

thanks for your time :)

ps
sorry for my gramma (if there are some mistakes;) ), english isn't my native language, but I'm trying :D
when I'm looking for same solution :D

Hi,

no need to browse the web.

Simply rtfm:

Check your /etc/fstab and /usr/local/.files.
wengi

yes yes I know, RTFM :D

I wrote, without usb-hdd, internal flash only ;)

there's no fstab :/
in /usr/local: etc, root, sbin adn no files
In etc dir it's only dropbear dir, root is empty,
[root@WL-001BFC918B60 root]$ ls /usr/local/sbin/
post-boot post-firewall post-mount pre-mount pre-shutdown
all of this files are empty, only in post-boot is dropbear ;)

And by the way: No USB HDD/Stick -> No /opt !!!

No woman -> No cry :)
wengi

thanks a lot wengi ;)
I installed ver 1.9.2.7-9 (BCM47XX)

no usb-hdd no /opt, so I can't use ipkg and many other features...:(
It's the way to buy a usb-hdd :D

ok, thx

My unslung

Code:

My Post-boot only had the top 2 lines so I copied the rest from a post on the forum.

Code:

Your original post-boot with the two lines is ok. Delete the rest again.
This was changed with firmewares -9 and newer.

Can you start cron manually?
Compare the content of /opt/etc/init.d/S10cron with the Howto.

This is strange!!
your part1 should be swap and not data partition. And it must not be vfat if it is swap!
Did you setup the hdd different from the howto?

What is the output of 'free'?

Not running xinetd process & no access on port 901

Hi,

Have a problem with accessing my router's Samba 2 settings on a port 901. Have installed Samba by wengi's tutorial, but than when typing "ps axf", don't see there line with "xinetd". When xinetd is not running, than I can't access 901, right?

Can anyone try to help me?

Hi,

Generally have a look at the conf files in /opt/etc
