Log looks perfectly normal. Are you sure your hd isn't formatted ntfs?

Ok...
really stupid question, but it has to be asked.
Did you set the "Enable FTP Server" to "yes" in the USB Application/FTP Server page?

ok try this:

open this page
http://my.router/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp

be sure your harddisk contains data/directories
enter this command:

ls /mnt/usbfs/

and press REFRESH button Enter only will not work.

if you see nothing enter this command:

mount

presh REFRESH again ofcourse.
copy and paste the output here please

[andy99]

ls /mnt/usbfs/

no response ;-)


if you see nothing enter this command:

mount

/dev/root on / type cramfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/ramfs on /mnt/ramfs type ramfs (rw)

I've got exactly the same problem. How do you mount the disk manually ?

[Antiloop]

ok, so nothing is mounted

try those commands and copy the output here:

ls /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/

ls /dev/scsi/

cat /proc/partitions

[andy99]

ls /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/

disc
part1
part2
part3
part4

ls /dev/scsi/

host0

cat /proc/partitions

try

mount -t vfat /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/usbfs

or

mount -t ntfs /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/usbfs

[andy99]

try
mount -t vfat /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/usbfs
or
mount -t ntfs /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /mnt/usbfs

nothing happens....

[Antiloop]

nothing happens....

try after applying the commands from oleg

ls /mnt/usbfs/

make sure there are some files at partition1

after olegs commands my browser hangs up and with your command i get no response :-(

[Antiloop]

ok, anyway your problem is almost for sure in the partitioning. so make sure you have 1 PRIMARY partition (it may not be logical!)

you can use Partition Magic 8 to do this eventually (windows xp does not support fat32 bigger than 32gb or something)

after you've done this hook up your usb drive to your wl500g, and reboot it.
and try again

should be working then

[andy99]

partition manager says:
1 primary partition
mounted as "drive z"
fat32
14,3gb space

that should be right but it doesn`t work
