[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

[ecori]

Hi Wengi,
I think I solved the problem! The contents of crontab defines that the script is running for admin, I had to replace that by my login name! Now I can find the cron entry (/opt/sbin/cron[214]) in the log files running. THanks alot for your help
Now I am still struggling with qos, I got wshaper running up, but I would like to use my FTP at full speed when I access my harddisc from elsewhere. DO you have any idea to get that working? I use the ftp server included in the firmware of Oleg (stupid-ftp), what would be the advantage of vsftpd (Raas, why do you prefer this program as a server?)
Thanks alot guys, I really enjoy this working toghether!!

Hi guys,

was away some days..
/opt/etc/profile must be executable. If you get a "read only" filesystem your hdd/partition is not mounted as it should.

Do you try to use samba as daemon or with xinetd?

daemon:
try to run /opt/etc/init.d/S80samba.
post the logfile if nmbd or smbd are not running

xinetd:
make sure xinetd is running or run /opt/etc/init.d/S10xinetd

Samba will only work if (smbd AND nmbd) OR xinetd are running (check with ps axf)

wengi

Can you explain me please witch is the differene between Daemon and Xinetd ? Sometimes i have speed problems when i try to watch an HDD movie from the hdd of asus.
I'm using Oleg's final firmware, and i've followed your tutorial up to (including) the torrents
i'm considerring to install samba 2 or 3, but i'm afraid about the memory limits. There is some way to " renice" the included samba ? Or i must install separate one ?
Thank you for your great tutoriall !
All the best !
P.S.
I have an WL500gP

[wengi]

Hi,

The Deamon is allways active.

Xinetd is listening on the samba port and when there is a request on this port the deamon is started.
There should be no difference in the performance when accessing samba over deamon or xinetd.

I prefer samba2 because samba3 needs more ressources and these are limited on WL-HDD.

Hi,
I have this error when I start torrent:
log from website of transmisiion:

I have tried four times from all over begining.

2 times with hard drive and two times with pendrive.

What have I done wrong?

PS: sorry for my english.

[wengi]

Did you try another torrent?
e.g. OpenOffice?

wengi

[YazPL]

OpenOffice works, now I have 90% completed.

But error still occurs:

Why torrents from TorrentLeech.org doesn`t work?

And when I did this od my Harddrive (Seagate-Sata) I have anothers errors(on flashdrive they don`t occurs):

hi,

do you use the latest version?
ipkg update && ipkg upgrade

wengi

[YazPL]

do you use the latest version?

Yes, 1.06.

I have found answer why that torrent doesn`t work.
quote from transmission-forum:

Thats because they have DHT,this is not supported by Transmission

what a pitty

But i still have problem with this :

And evan when I use correct totrent , it works but still can`t acces those cashe files:

"/tmp/harddisk/torrent/.transmission/cache/54644f6fcb1c3eafb0011cf3ecad5f520617301d-cgi" No such file or directory

And is there any other torrent client which will work on my wl-500gp and support DTH?

[wengi]

Hi,
"Mar 10 00:55:30 kernel: I/O error: dev 08:04, sector 3145736" has nothing to do with transmission. These are kernel warnings.
I think you have a HDD problem!

Do a forum search for the torrent stuff.
Or a "ipkg list | grep -i torrent"

wengi

[YazPL]

Thanks for all your help.

I think you have a HDD problem!

You were right. HDD is kaput

[keeshardt]

First of all, I need to say this is a great tutorial!
But I some problems. Everything works fine and exactly as described untill 4b. After adding the rules to post-boot as described in 4b, saving, flashfs'ing and rebooting, the trouble starts.
I can't connect to my asus via ssh anymore. Only telnet works. When I check via 'ps' I also don't see a running dropbear.
Next I check to see if the swap is correctly activated, but this does not seem the case:

  total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:        13964        11424         2540            0         1580
 Swap:            0            0            0
Total:        13964        11424         2540

Then I type 'df' and I get the following:

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root                 3008      3008         0 100% /
/dev/discs/disc0/part2    988244     16440    921604   2% /tmp/mnt/disc0_2
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 479233648    131228 454758724   0% /tmp/mnt/disc0_3

It seems like post-boot is not correctly executed when rebooting or someting like this? I have followed the tutorial exactly as described, and also created the same three partitions as mentioned. The contents of my post-boot file:

#!/bin/sh
dropbear

# test if USB disc has been attached
# if not - then insert needed modules
#
# uncoment the following 4 lines if using an USB HDD.
if [ ! -d /dev/discs ]
then
insmod scsi_mod && insmod sd_mod && insmod usb-storage && sleep 5s
fi

#Wait for /opt to mount
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part2 /opt
i=0
while [ $i -le 30 ]
do
if [ -d /opt/etc ]
then
break
fi
sleep 1
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

mount /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /tmp/harddisk


# Activate swap
swapon /dev/discs/disc0/part1

# Run all active services - active means starts with S
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung

I have also copied the log-file from the web-interface and attached it to this post.
Anyone has an idea on how to solve?
Thanks in advance!

[wengi]

Hi,
is the post-boot executable?
wengi

[keeshardt]

Post-boot is executable:

[admin@WL-ASUSAP sbin]$ ls -al
drwxr-xr-x    1 admin    root            0 Mar 23 19:24 .
drwxr-xr-x    1 admin    root            0 Jan  1  2000 ..
-rwxr-xr-x    1 admin    root          575 Mar 23 19:34 post-boot
-rwxr-xr-x    1 admin    root            0 Mar 23 19:24 post-firewall
-rwxr-xr-x    1 admin    root            0 Mar 23 19:24 post-mount
-rwxr-xr-x    1 admin    root            0 Mar 23 19:24 pre-shutdown

When I execute post-boot manually everything seems to work ok.
When I execute post-boot whilst HDD has spinned down, I get the following (obvious) errors:

[admin@WL-ASUSAP sbin]$ post-boot
insmod: A module named scsi_mod already exists
mount: Mounting /dev/discs/disc0/part2 on /opt failed: No such file or directory
mount: Mounting /dev/discs/disc0/part3 on /tmp/harddisk failed: No such file or directory
swapon: Can't stat '/dev/discs/disc0/part1': No such file or directory
/usr/local/sbin/post-boot: /usr/local/sbin/post-boot: 34: /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung: not found

The problems described in my previous post all occured while the HDD was spinning (also after rebooting).

//Edit 27-03: It seems something must have gone wrong during the preparation. After formatting again and following this tutorial twice again, now everything works fine. Thanks for your help!

[keydee]

Hi Wengi,
I tried to find the way how to have my router with FS online but sometimes to switch USB HDD with data partition. I bought USB Stick created swap 512 (part1) on it, created the IPKG partition (part3). But the postboot scrip it not working properly anymore, it looks that router cant use two different USB drives? please see my postboot:

#!/bin/sh
dropbear


# test if USB disc has been attached
# if not - then insert needed modules
#
# uncoment the following 4 lines if using an USB HDD.
if [ ! -d /dev/discs ]
then
insmod scsi_mod && insmod sd_mod && insmod usb-storage && sleep 5s
fi

#Wait for /opt to mount
mount /dev/discs/disc1/part3 /opt
i=0
while [ $i -le 30 ]
do
if [ -d /opt/etc ]
then
break
fi
sleep 1
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /tmp/harddisk


# Activate swap
swapon /dev/discs/disc1/part1

# Run all active services - active means starts with S
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung

and please see my mounting after reboot:

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root                 3008      3008         0 100% /
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 288451232  18813544 254985208   7% /tmp/harddisk
/dev/discs/disc1/disc    961528     16428    896256   2% /tmp/harddisk/part1

I really dont know why its not working Could you please help ? THX

EDIT: When I tried to mount it manually after umounting all I have this error:

[admin@(none) sbin]$ mount /dev/discs/disc1/part3 /opt
mount: Mounting /dev/discs/disc1/part3 on /opt failed: Invalid argument
