Turns out that this statement is incorrect.  The "usbdisk1" share does
not connect, but the LS share seems to be fine -- I can access the
data normally.

Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide!

DS.

Look in "dmesg" output on your LS - if there're any USB error messages
there.

No space, tried the possible capitalizations.  Thanks for the
suggestions, though.  Might try mapping a "drive" over FTP if I have to.

i assume you are running a telnet enabled firmware (maybe openlink)
please post the output of

df
ls -al /mnt2/         -> if you have a LS1
ls -al /mnt/          -> if you have a LS2

maybe try a

chmod 777 /mnt2/usbdisk1      -> LS1
chmod 777 /mnt/usbdisk1       -> LS2

tell us which box you have for further analysis.

I have had my link station for about a year now and is is making some
noise ...I think from the fan. I leave it on 7/24 is that normal?

fans have moving parts. and they become old. thats the problem.

you can swap the fan. there is a link in the FAQ section of our wiki
at www.linkstationwiki.net that mentions the right model.

http://linkstationwiki.net/index.php?title=FAQ#Can_I_replace_the_LinkStation_fan\
.3F

best idea would be to swap the fan and buy a small
potentiometer...then you are able to additional slower the fan from
outside.

This may be related to the linux kernel and ext2 file system versions
that the Linkstation uses. It tends to get a tad shirty with files
bigger that 2GB.

I have a similar set up, with a Maxtor One Touch drive. If I try to
copy a file larger than 2GB to the usb drive it truncates the file and
I have to reboot the LS.

Maybe someone with a little more kernel level know-how can suggest a
workaround???

Hi,

I am totally new at this, but I upgraded my LS2 to use OpenLink the
other day in hopes of getting my mac g4 laptop to be able to browse
the linkstation files with long files names.

I tried what is suggested at the wiki
http://linkstationwiki.net/index.php?title=Articles/Macintosh

but when i try the "apt-get" command it doesn't have this. So has
anyone been able to install netatalk on OpenLink, and are there easy
to follow instructions?

Also when I installed OpenLink I created a new user called Normal, but
when I telnet in as Normal, this user doesn't have permissions to do
anything. What do you suggest i give it, so I am not always using root.

Thanks a ton,
Aaron

On OpenLink, you've got to compile netatalk yourself, as outlined in the
article. You've got
to install the dev-tools for your system first.

Well, nothing. That's the idea behind access privileges. Just open a second
connection in a
second terminal window.

What's your exact problem? Is it you can't access files the LS is supposed to
serve?

Basically every time I log in (via SSH only). Because I do it only when I want
to change the
configuration. If I just want to store files on it, I mount the shares in the
Finder, or have
iTunes do it for me.

Does anyone know how to disable/disconnect the Linkstation's fan and still
have it boot properly? If there is no fan present, the Linkstation will
flash the red Diag LED 4 times and then shut down. But I'd like to run it
without the fan, leaving the case off for ventilation. Is there a some way
to disable the fan check or fool the Linkstation into thinking the fan is
working properly?

This resistor would be about 15K in series with the

and the collecter would go to the tach signal.  Values

Pick R and C such that the frequency is 1 pulse per

WHat needs to be verified: Fan 5V, Tach signal is open

12.

a question..which LS-model do you have?

if you have openlink/freelink installed on your box you could install
avr_evtd instead of ppc_uartd.

ppc_uartd is the stock avr_evtd daemon and monitors the buttons, the
fan and how full the hdd is.

avr_evtd is the opensource variant and was created by lb_worm from
www.linkstationwiki.net with the kuro_evtd-source as a base.

with avr_evtd you can simply run the linkstation without a fan if you
configure it that way.

here is the link that might be interesting for you:
http://www.linkstationwiki.net/index.php?title=AVR_watch-dog_daemon_for_Linkstat\
ion

look at the variable FANSTOP...it can be set to OFF.

i am currently thinking of building my own case...and remove the small
and noisy fan...

I bought a secondhand HD-H120LAN, it worked fine ut in the end wasn't
big enough, I tried to swap out the drives but as soon as  did that it
wouldn't connect, I put the old drive back in all fine again, until
now. I get the power on light as normal and the link/act light but I
cannot see the LinkStation, either by connection to a router or direct
to a PC. It is the newer model with out the switch on the back for
crossover.
Is there away of reloading the Linux software on the drive or new
drive. Or have a killed it all.
By the way I run Windows XP. I have searched the net but all I find is
Linux forums
Thanks in advance

take a look here:
http://linkstationwiki.net/index.php?title=Recover_a_non_working_%
22bricked%22_Linkstation

If you wanted to use the stock firmware you could just flash it with
the stock firmware.  If you wanted to try OpenLink or FreeLink you
could flash one of those.

Thank you, mindbender & KeepIt SimpleStupid! I'll try the
openlink/freelink firmware and avr_evtd solution, but first I've got
to get a fan connected, as the LS won't boot without one. Thanks again!

Well, I know where it is, but it won't talk to me ;-)

I have a LS running Gentoo 2.6

Everything was going great until I adjusted the routing tables with
route, and then the machine stopped responding.  I rebooted, but that
didn't help.  I can no longer ping or ssh into the machine.  I suppose
I'll need to extract the hard disk, and connect it to my PC to repair
it, but I do not know what to look for or what to change to restore the
default routing tables so the machine will talk to me.

Can anyone give me a pointer?

Thanks,

Chris

I am using openlink 2.23 on my Linkstation. I got help to install
twonkymusic, and, although twonky has been running well, I don't seem
to be able to use external USB drives.
The drive shows up, but there is no option to format it at all.
Any help is appreaciated - (I know very little about Linux).

Ok i need some more help. I have installed the BerklyDB and I think I
complied Netatalk, but i must have missed something. Or I just don't
know how to run netatalk. The steps I took where I ran configure on
netatalk, then make install. What do i do next?

Thanks

Is it already running?

ps auxw|grep afpd|grep -v grep

If it is, and is already doing so after a reboot, configure netatalk as I
suggested here:

Hi,

played with RC1 and couldn't connect either. Searched linkstation
wiki forum and found:
http://www.scalefree.info/2006/09/vista_and_buffalo_terastation.html

"Just a note in case anyone else runs into this problem.

If you want to connect to a share on a Buffalo Terastation (which
seems to be using Samba) from a Windows Vista installation, you need
to do the following:
Run the Local Security Policy app - secpol.msc
Go to Local Policies | Security Options and choose the "Network
Security: LAN Manager Authentican Level" item
Set it to "Send LM & NLTM, use NTMLv2 session if negotiated"

And that should sort you out."

(Works also with Linkstation)

Have fun
Gonzo

FYI

http://www.buffalo-technology.com/support/downloads.php

There seems to be a new firmware version available. But I don't know
if it's for the LS1 or LS 2 (PPC or MIPS) or what changes might be.

Didn't test it as I customized mine and don't want to loose changes.
Gonzo

I ran the command you gave me and it gave me this:
root@HIPPO:/# ps auxw|grep afpd|grep -v grep
root       280  0.0  2.0  7436 1296 ?        S    12:01   0:00
/usr/sbin/afpd -c 1000 -n HIPPO


Is that good? I tried to follow the directions you suggested on the
webpage but i don't seem to find the same files as your example. The
only place i can find a directory of netatalk is where I extracted the
tar file to root@HIPPO:/usr/local/netatalk-2.0.3#

Thank for any info, I guess I might be over my head.
Thanks again,
Aaron
