Not with the linksys gui.

You could create a second share without space and use that
or change it directly in "/etc/samba/smb.conf".

But be careful. Changing "/etc/samba/smb.conf" will give
some problems:
	 1) It is not persistent over reboots
	 2) The linksys interface doesn't understand it
	 ....

But it is possible.

Hi,

I have an NSLU2 that was very slow working with Microsoft Networking.
Out of the box it ran V2.R63.

I did some research and found this article:
http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/print?board.id=Network_Storage&message.i\
d=123&page=1&format=page

In essence, if you use V2.r25, the NSLU2 responds very well in an MS
Networking environment. I followed the instructions and it works great.

I would like to change to the Unslug firmware, but as it is based on a
latter version of the Linksys firmware, I want to find out if the slow
response will come back.

Any help would be appreciated.

I all, I need a little help with Unslung 6.8.

In a shell script I use sleep to pause N seconds the script itself
while an antenna rotor reach it new position.

Normally under Linux I can use sleep N.n (second fractions) but in
Unslung there is not this function, only integer seconds.

So please which program I could use to solve this problem ?

Thanks in advance

You are right, there were too many urls from the sample scripts and
all were considered unapproved. I have formatted the scripts and
approved the valid urls, so the page is fine now.

Hi,

Anyone recognise these symptoms, which have appeared out of nowhere (no other
system
changes)?  Basically TCP/IP access works but nothing else...

Unslung 6.x to Seagate 320GB on Disk 2.  Accessing from OS X Tiger.

1.  Cannot mount smb share on OS X - connect via Finder>Go>Connect to server
returns
error "username or password is incorrect" (haven't changed anything).
2.  Cannot telnet into slug - web GUI telnet page appears but when I click
enable, I get error
"unable to save data to file"
3.  Can browse share on Disk 2 via webGUI
4.  Disk seems to spin down after while - don't remember it doing that before.

cheers

That's correct. This page had a lot of unapproved urls, most of them
in the scripts, and this prevented any further edits.

Hi,
I've recently bought a NSLU2 and i am trying to start
customizing it.
I don't want any HD attached to my NSLU so the ucslugc
seems to be my distro. I downloaded the Makefile from
nslu-linux and tried "make cslugc".
After a while some errors started appearing in my
screen:
ERROR: Error in executing:
/home/saladino/src/slug/ucslugc/openembedded/packages/stage-manager/stagemanager\

I downloaded the intel packages and did the md5sums
but still the same.

Im trying to do it from a debian with a ppc
architecture (old iBook). But i thought that for
cross-compiling the host architecture wouldn't matter.
So, some questions:
-Is it possible to make a ucslugc image for the NSLU2
with a debian/ppc host system?
-I am confused with something?
-Is there a way to use yahoogroups from a non-yahoo
e-mail account?

Thanks for your time

How do you measure the speed here.

Unslung firmware version 5.5 is based on an earlier release R29.
Perhaps your speed problem would be acceptable with this version.

Hi All,

A couple of questions from someone new to all of this. I have unslung
my slug (V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.8-beta).

This might be normal behaviour but I haven't seen it explicitly
written down so thought I'd ask. I've unslung to disk 2 which is a
1MB flash drive. When I boot my slug just with the flash drive in I
can connect as expected via telnet using the password I entered, but
not if I boot with the disk 1 (a 250MB Seagate) connected as well -
is this normal?

Also I installed dropbear as I understood I could then use something
like PuTTY (as recommended on http://www.nslu2-
linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseDropBearForRemoteAccess) to access my slug
easily without enabling Telnet. I don't seem to be able to unless I
still enable Telnet - have I misunderstood something?

Finally (sorry) I installed ushare. Windows sees the Upnp slug, as
does Windows Media Player and Cidero MediaController, but I suspect I
haven't set up the music directory correctly as none of them find
anything to play. I have a share set up on disk 1 called media and
set the media directory in ushare.conf to media/music. The web page
for ushare also shows it's running, but says the number of shared
files and directories is 1, there should be more than that!

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Stephan

Robert,

I would open a command line and enter \\NSLU2 and wait for about 1.5
minutes for a folder list - clicking on a folder in that list produced
the same result.

same type of response seen if I accessed the device through network
neighborhood or any program I used to access stored files on the device.

I'll take a look at 5.5

Thank You!

Hi all



Since the "upgrade" from Unslung to Openslug 3.10 I'm really missing my
webserver with PHP support. Any recommendations on what to use as I
can't seem to find any precompiled in the ipkg listings.

Hi
I have set up vsftpd on my nslu2.  Using the Linksys interface I set
up a user called ftpuser and provided this user with a password.  I am
pretty sure I followed the instructions contained within the optware
package description for vsftpd.  However when I try and access the ftp
server using smartftp I receive the following error "500: OOPS CANNOT
CHANGE DIRECTORY" and then "500: OOPS CHILD DIED", which is a tad
distressing!!  As root I can access the ftp site with no problems, but
ideally would like to avoid using the root account.  Thanks for your
assistance :)  Cheers

Hi
Bit more info...I have following in the etc/passwd file

ftpuser:scP.J3hOO7UZY:2000:501:::/ftpuser:/bin/sh

The directory ftpuser has been created...FOlder attributes are as follows:

drwxrwxr-x    2 ftpuser  everyone     4096 Jan 20 19:10

I assume this has got something to do with the ftpuser folder and
permissions/location.

Cheers

Hi,
I've been having troubles with the Slug and was about to dump it for
being too slow but seem to have sorted out the problem. The problem I
was seeing was that it took ages (2 minutes) to open a Samba share and
also that when logging in via SSH, the password prompt would appear
about 10 seconds after I had hit 'enter' on my username.

The problems all seem to stem from using the R63 firmware from Linksys
before doing the Debian install. I reverted to R25, did a factory
reset, reinstalled Debian, and all my problems seem to have gone away.

I don't really understand why the Linksys firmware version should
affect the performance of the Debian install I am using, but it
definitely does.

Has anyone else experienced this (you'll know, because ssh to the Slug
has a long wait before the password prompt is displayed)?

Al

Hi;

Sorry if this is an inappropriate posting, I did not find anything by
searching the archives.

I know how to use froogle and similar search engines, but even looking
at somewhat reputable merchants like newegg, I see comments that
people received the older 133MHz device on recent purchases.

I would like to hear who you bought the NSLU2 from, if you were happy
with the merchant.

Jan

Apologies if this is something of a noob question, but I *have* read
the FAQ and searched the Wiki and can't find anything that properly
answers this one.

I've got an NSLU2 which I'm trying to unsling with the 6.8beta
release. I'm using 2x320Gb HDs (WD My Book) and have run the basic
firmware upgrade on the box and got both HDs formatted (NSLU
reporting ext3 formatted) and with no data on either of the drives
apart from whatever the NSLU puts on them when formatting.

On booting, the web interface reports that both disks are attached
with 100% of space free.

Moving on to telnetting in and actually unslinging the NSLU, I'm
rebooting minus drives, enabling telnet and then loggin in as root
with the usual password. However, when I then plug in my primary HD
(in this case disk1 - formatted this one first, and had it attached
as disk1 when booting to format the other disk) I get the NSLU
reporting on the web interface that there is 97% usage, and about 6Mb
free space.

Using df from the telnet session gives the same information.

Finally, ignoring this and simply trying to unsling with the relevant
command line in telnet comes back to me with an error saying that the
volume is not there/available (don't have the exact text in front of
me right now).

I see from http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/Disk2Showing0Free that
there is a slightly similar issue encountered with the Linksys
firmware 2.3R29, but that's the closest I can get and as above the df
command returns the same disk usage data as reported by the web
interface.

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. MTIA.

The disk is recognized, mounted, and the Linksys firmware immediately
unmounts it for some reason (usually a disk error of some sort).  This
leaves the web interface thinking a disk is present, but when it goes to
check the size and space, it ends up checking the underlying flash memory,
instead of the now-unmounted disk.  Hence it reports 6MBytes in size -- the
size of the flash root filesystem.

The fix depends on what's wrong.  You state that if the disk is left plugged
in, and the slug rebooted, then it is mounted and stays mounted in the
normal fashion?  If so, it would indicate that the device, for some reason,
does not like being hot-plugged.  Unfortunately, we need to hot-plug it,
because when you boot with the disk attached, the Linksys firmware uses the
password database from the disk -- and we don't know those passwords.

The most common problem is that the disk structure is damaged in some way
(you *did* shutdown the unit from the GUI, rather than just unplugging it,
right?).

Run "fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sdb2" to check the conf partition of the drive, and
"fsck.ext3 -f /dev/sdb1" to check the data partition.  Once they both come
back clean, shutdown the NSLU2 (if you don't like the GUI, you can type
"DO_Shutdown" instead).

Unplug the disk, reboot, telnet in, plug the disk in, give it a little while
to run the quota check, and then see if it stays mounted this time.  If so,
you're ok to run the unsling utility.

Mike (mwester)

Jan,

You don't say where you are based, but I bought mine from Dabs.com in the UK.  I
was perfectly happy with them and their service, and the Slug is 266MHz.

1) Verify the speed of the disk with dd
    e.g.: time dd if=/dev/zero of=<some file> bs=1024k count=2048
2) Verify the speed of the network with netio
3) What is the speed if you connect your laptop with a cable to the
    slug.
4) Check the type of filesystem you use.
    There are known problems with ntfs on slug disks.

Hi,

I saw a similar problem
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-general/message/5925) -
Interesting about reverting to R25, then installing, then no problems.

I am using Unslung 6.8 on my slug,
tried to use "time dd if=/dev/zero of=test.dat bs=1024k count=2048", but got the
error message "file not found"
some other linux commands could not be used as well, such as "find", anything I
need to do to get those cmd accessible?
Thanks

The "time" command i use is a bash builtin.

You can use the "/bin/dd" from busybox but there is also a dd in
the "coreutils" package. That "dd" shows the transfer rates without
difficulties.

Hi,

in order to use find, you need to install the package "findutils". In order to
check which packages you have installed you can type:

ipkg list_installed

In order to see which packages are available, you can type:

ipkg list

in order to update the list of packages available for installation, type:

ipkg update

in order to install an additional package, type:

ipkg install <name of package>
Example: ipkg install findutils

Regarding your command "time dd if=/dev/zero of=test.dat bs=1024k count=2048",
I'm not sure what cannot be found. Have you tried if the individual files exist?

ls -l /dev/zero
time
dd

Hope that helps.

Regards

Jens

   I am using Unslung 6.8 on my slug,
   tried to use "time dd if=/dev/zero of=test.dat bs=1024k count=2048", but got
the error message "file not found"
   some other linux commands could not be used as well, such as "find", anything
I need to do to get those cmd accessible?
   Thanks

   1) Verify the speed of the disk with dd
   e.g.: time dd if=/dev/zero of=<some file> bs=1024k count=2048
   2) Verify the speed of the network with netio
   3) What is the speed if you connect your laptop with a cable to the
   slug.
   4) Check the type of filesystem you use.
   There are known problems with ntfs on slug disks.

I'm sorry, but there is *nothing* left of R25 or R63 in the flash when
you install Debian except your sysconf settings (of which Debian only
reads the network setup information).  So the resolution must have come
from somewhere else.

Thanks for information,
   I do have findutils package installed already but "find" command can't be
found
   "Tme" command cannot be found as well.
   Thanks again.

in order to use find, you need to install the package "findutils". In order to
check which packages you have installed you can type:

ipkg list_installed

In order to see which packages are available, you can type:

ipkg list

in order to update the list of packages available for installation, type:

ipkg update

in order to install an additional package, type:

ipkg install <name of package>
Example: ipkg install findutils

i wanted to know if it can be used as a hot stop
