Hi,

do a

ipkg install e2fsprogs e2tools

then retry e2fsck.

wengi

Thank you Wengi, that did fix my problem.

However, I guess from now on I have to do the e2fsck manually, because the e2fsck happens during the pre-mount, at that time the /opt partition won't be available for the unit to launch the e2fsck included in the e2fsprogs package. Maybe somebody can come out an idea how to check /opt partition using the default BusyBox e2fsck if needed, then mount /opt and use the e2fsck included in e2fsprogs to scan other partition(s). That will be ideal!

Thanks again for your help Wengi.

hi,

I have a 8GB sd card installed on my wl-500gp (version 1). yesterday i downloaded a file using rtorrent. after the downloading is finished, i turned off the power of the router, and unplugged the card reader. i connected the reader to my pc (i use ubuntu) copied the file to my hard drive, unmounted the sd card and unplugged it. then i connected the card reader to the router. i turned on the power again, but i found that the router didn't mount my sd card. i checked the "/etc/fstab", nothing changed. i also checked everything under /usr/local/sbin, still the same. this had happened many times, could anyone help me out?

thanks in advance.

[drevnerussky]

Anyone, PLEASE?

i really need help.

[wengi]

Hi,

not really an idea.
Did you do an e2fsck on the partitions?

What I have done wronh in my outer configuration, that other see my router?
My friend doesn't have these false ssh connections. configuration is the same.

[wengi]

Hi,

this is normal. Everyone opening an ssh server on the default port will have these attacks.

If you don not need ssh access from internet: close the port (iptables)
If you need ssh from internet: use a strong password and live with it or do some settings to secure ssh access.
eg. http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=98784&postcount=268

after i run almost all the how-to (at least the parts i needed) i enabled the ftp from web-gui.
I'm using WL500gx-1.9.2.7-d-r381.trx latest.
But the performance of the ftp were very poor.
After i disabled the ftp from web-gui i could not see my usb harddisk.
What could be the cause?
Do I need to restore the defaults and run the how-to again?

thanks.

[wengi]

Hi,

1) restart router
2) see if hdd is mounted in shell (mount)

What exactly do you mean with

i could not see my usb harddisk.

wengi

PS: i can not see my WL-HDD harddisk because it is internal....
