[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

[realfolkblues]

hi when i do

mkdir /tmp/harddisk/torrent

i get

cannot create directory `/tmp/harddisk/torrent': Read-only file system

any help?

[wengi]

Your hdd is not mounted to /tmp/harddisk!

Do a 'mount' to see what is mountet or a 'df -h'.
Recheck partitioning, formating. Try to mount manualy.

i found that it was mounted at

/tmp/harddisk/part1/

so i just ajusted for the tutorial.

BTW great tut A+

EDIT:
Ummm this might sound totaly noob, but do i need to forward a bittorrent port for transmission if it's on the router?

[wengi]

Have a look at the transmission.conf: You can use upnp if your router supports it and you want to.
Otherwise you have to do a portmapping on the router.

thanx for great manual!
I still can't create folders "torrent". Whenever I try I've got "cannot create ... read-only file system"

after mount I've got:

/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)
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 on /opt type ext3 (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 on /tmp/harddisk type ext3 (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 on /tmp/harddisk type vfat (ro,noatime)

please tell me what's wrong - I'm linux rookie (realy fresh one)

Best Regards and thanx in advance

I've been googling and tring to mount drive manually ([admin@(none) root]$ /dev/discs/disc0/part3 mount /tmp/harddisk), and in return I'm reciving :
-sh: /dev/discs/disc0/part3: Permission denied

what output do you get from "df"?

[wengi]

/dev/discs/disc0/part3 on /tmp/harddisk type ext3 (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 on /tmp/harddisk type vfat (ro,noatime)

1) Prob: Both partitions are mounted at the same point. Change this.
2) the ro for part1 means readonly! change this to rw!

My part3 is not mounting automaticaly. Maybe there is something wrong with vi /usr/local/sbin/post-boot, and waiting for part2?

Best Regards

[wengi]

Try to unmount part3, and remount part1 as rw.
After you confirmed that this is working you can think about making it permanent.

Thanks voor the great Tutorial.

I still have a problem with the samba server.
I can configure it with the webinterface, however the server dosn't work.

I tryed to go directly to the IP adres and via windows network.

When I look in de webinterfase at status I see:
smbd: not running
nmbd: not running

when I try to activate them (nmbd isn't really a must I think) they still doesn't work. Anyone a solution for this problem?

[wengi]

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

[WhiteAss]

I'm not sure. I folowed your tutorial. 1th installed xinetd then samba2

ipkg install xinetd
ipkg install samba2

I will look at it when I'm at home.

ps. not mentioned before, but I think it's already clear. I'm a linux newbie.

[WhiteAss]

I don't know witch is running (daemon or with xinetd)

I tried both
/opt/etc/init.d/S80samba
/opt/etc/init.d/S10xinetd

to run. this doesn't make a diferent.

Where do I find the log?

what is the best way? xinetd or smbd AND nmbd
can I work with the webinterface in both situations?

[wengi]

Forget xinetd. You first have to run it as daemon.
You are running samba as daemon as long as you did NOT follow chapter 15.

Do the following:

1. run /opt/etc/init.d/S80samba and post result
2. post output of "ps axf"
3. post the latest content of the log: /opt/var/log/messages
