For anyone else who reads this I am very interested to set-up VPN to my server so that I can be anonymous on the net without paying for all these VPN services out there...

Currently there is no proper guide for openvpn, but maybe it's time to write one:p

this one comes pretty close though: http://wlhdd.co.uk/wiki/OpenVPN :)

Nice! Thanks for the link! Gonna try it out later on, but looks easy enough to set-up following the guide on the wiki :)

The name of the ssh daemon is dropbear. It can be activated with the Web Interface (System Setup->Services) if you use the "enthusiast firmware" (1.9.2.7-d-rxxxx). Using the new firmware you only have to generate the keys.

I guess you still have to create the startup scripts

Code:

mkdir -p /usr/local/sbin/ touch /usr/local/sbin/pre-boot touch /usr/local/sbin/post-boot touch /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall touch /usr/local/sbin/post-mount touch /usr/local/sbin/pre-mount touch /usr/local/sbin/pre-shutdown chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/*

Or are they also included in the "enthusiast firmware"?

You are right.

http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org?

Hi tried to do some ipkg installs but it fails due to server returning file not found (404).
Then tried to download manually some pkg's from http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org, but it gives errors. Can browse to the stable feed but, trying to download gives an 404?
Anyone experiencing the same?

Update: found nslu2-linux mirror http://nslu2-linux.dyoung-mirror.net somewhere in Russian discussion. ipkg.nslu2-linux.org oleg stable is broken... or temporarily unavailable. Have no clue. So to work around update ipkg.conf with the mirror and ipkg functionality works again.
Not an idea to have a general thread to report such issues? I had no clue where to put this... and with a bit of luck I found something in the Russian section.
Ah well. Cheers.

tune2fs

In howto:

Code:

mke2fs -j /dev/discs/disc0/part2 mke2fs -j /dev/discs/disc0/part3

Suggestion:

Code:

mke2fs -j -m 0 /dev/discs/disc0/part2 mke2fs -j -m 0 /dev/discs/disc0/part3

Maximizing capacity by overruling the standard 5% reserved blocks.
Can save a lot if you have a big partition.

tune2fs can of course be used afterwards for all except /opt.
Fyi e2fsprogs 1.41.9-1 seems to look for a /etc/mtab and is not looking to /proc/mounts (shouldn't it?)
So had to cat /proc/mounts to /dev/mtab to convince tune2fs it is unmounted.

Code:

[admin@WL500W root]$ df /tmp/scratch Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/discs/disc1/part3 54G 435M 51G 1% /tmp/mnt/disc1_3 [admin@WL500W root]$ umount /tmp/scratch [admin@WL500W root]$ tune2fs -m 0 /dev/discs/disc1/part3 tune2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) ext2fs_check_if_mount: Can't check if filesystem is mounted due to missing mtab file while determining whether /dev/discs/disc1/part3 is mounted. [admin@WL500W root]$ cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab [admin@WL500W root]$ tune2fs -m 0 /dev/discs/disc1/part3 tune2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) Setting reserved blocks percentage to 0% (0 blocks) [admin@WL500W root]$ mount /tmp/scratch [admin@WL500W root]$ df /tmp/scratch Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/discs/disc1/part3 54G 435M 54G 1% /tmp/mnt/disc1_3

Hi postbusjj,

thanks for your suggestion.
I am not an expert to file systems.
Is there any negative effect on using the reserved blocks?

I think we want some reserved blocks for system (/opt) partitions, but not for the data partition.

As a result of this i would use mke2fs -j -m 0 /dev/discs/disc0/part3 for the data partition.

Am i thinking right?

Yes, you do. I thought about that too.
5% of /opt is only 49.8M. That's no loss.. and indeed it is preventing a crash by mistakenly filling up /opt (can happen, nobody is perfect... been there)
50GB for a 1TB drive is of course a drama and it is not needed for data.

5% hdd space for free!!!

Good!

I updated the HowTo.

To all who want some more space free:

Code:

[admin@blechbuechse root]$ ipkg install e2fslibs e2fsprogs [admin@blechbuechse root]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 3.0M 3.0M 0 100% / /dev/root 3.0M 3.0M 0 100% / /dev/discs/disc0/part2 962M 485M 428M 54% /opt /dev/discs/disc0/part3 72G 55G 14G 81% /tmp/mnt/disc0_3 [admin@blechbuechse root]$ umount /tmp/mnt/disc0_3/ # or /tmp/harddisk/ [admin@blechbuechse root]$ cat /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab [admin@blechbuechse root]$ tune2fs -m 0 /dev/discs/disc0/part3 tune2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) Setting reserved blocks percentage to 0% (0 blocks) [admin@blechbuechse root]$ mount /tmp/mnt/disc0_3/ # or /tmp/harddisk/ [admin@blechbuechse root]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 3.0M 3.0M 0 100% / /dev/root 3.0M 3.0M 0 100% / /dev/discs/disc0/part2 962M 485M 428M 54% /opt /dev/discs/disc0/part3 72G 55G 18G 77% /tmp/mnt/disc0_3

As you see:
BEFORE: 14GB free
AFTER: 18GB free

Thanks to postbusjj for this great tip :D:cool:

Just a typo.

If xinetd is not installed until now:

Code:

ipkg install xinetd

You have to change /opt/etc/init.d/S10xinetd to work with the start|stop feature of rc.unslung.
Do this as it is described in chapter 10b). Only the part with the content of S10xinetd!

I guess this chapter is 12b now. :)

I get

-sh: tune2fs: not found

How can I install tune2fs?
