I forgot to add that while I think all the hardware in this thread
supports WOL, you have to configure it in software to use it.
Personally I wouldn't use it because even the couple seconds it would
take to come out of hibernation isn't acceptable when I'm trying to
read or write to the disk attached to it. I don't know how tolerant
CUPS would be of waiting for a response if you use it for a network
attached printing services. Obviously I could live with a couple
seconds for my media server to start responding.

I'm not sure about that...

Chances are you already have to wait a few seconds for other reasons.
  It is not uncommon, when I haven't done anything for a while, to hear
my disks for my NSLU2 spin up, by something simple like opening a web
page in Firefox.

The reason that happens, is among other things, I have my NSLU2
configure as a DNS server.   Because the NSLU2 has such limited amount
of ram, eventually after enough idle time, the DNS server process gets
swapped out to disk.  After a while of not using the disks, the USB
enclosure spins those down.   So a few hours later, when I decide to
use firefox the process is delayed for two seconds while the NSLU2
spins up the disks and then loads the process back into memory.   WOL
would not add a significant amount of additional delay to this...

Hi All,

Has anyone tried using Norton Ghost 2003 to Clone your SLUG partition and
successfully port it to another Hard disk? I'm thinking of using Norton Ghost to
clone my old 250GB HDD (Connected to SLUG) to a new 1TB HDD. Is it possible and
any experiences? Your sharing will be greatly appreciated

easier way:
connect new hd to the slug
fdisk /dev/sdb (create partition)
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
tar cflp - . | ( cd /mnt ; tar xfvlp - )

wait till finished, powerdown, unplug first disk, poweron

Kind regards,

I've never had much luck with Norton Ghost and Linux partitions.  You are
probably just better off to use dd to copy, and then resize the partition to
fill the space.

Be aware, there appears to be a 2TB limit on partition sizes.

While there are many people who use tar to copy file systems, I personally do
not recommend it.  The biggest problem is that tar will truncate very long
paths, and will not copy either ACL's or extended attributes.   The code for
handling sparse files and hard links in tar's is not very robust, but it will
work with the correct flags.


The following information is a bit dated, but mostly still accurate:

http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/tar/tar_122.html

An additional problems with tar is without --one-file-system flag, tar will span
across mounts such as /proc and /sys.   Tar is unable to look under the mounts
to see files that are visible at boot time...
A solution to this is to use a bind mount:

mkdir /tmp/root
mount --bind / /tmp/root
cd /tmp/root
tar cfSlp - | (cd /mnt;tar xfSlp -)

Another problem is if your partition is bootable, the NSLU2 will only recognize
it if it has the same UUID.   Of course you can set the UUID with tune2fs.

tune2fs /dev/sda1
tune2fs -U <whatever uuid sda1 used> /dev/sdb1

It is safer to copy the file system when not in use, but if you are going to
copy it when in use, this is the technique I would use:

fdisk /dev/sdb
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4096
e2fsck -f /dev/sdb1
resize2fs /dev/sdb1

If your partition is not bootable, then you should probably use "tune2fs" to
give the new partition a unique UUID.

tunefs -U random /dev/sdb1

If it is bootable, and you leave both the old and new drive plugged in, it is
fairly arbitrary which drive the NSLU2 will boot from.

Thank you all for your reply. I'm only a basic Linux user and I'm really afraid
of deleting my data from my Old HDD using the dd command, hence i'd like to
tryout GUI cloning softwares like ghost, etc..

Are there any thourough documentation to completely backup the SLUG for total
Linux newbies that aren't too intimidating? Looking at the articles on our How
to Page on SLUG Backup, I admit I'll have to take a deep breath and alot of
courage before I attempt to follow the commands! Any reply is greatly
appreciated

We've approached Marvell in the #openplug IRC channel on Freenode (which
is full of all the usual suspects in ARM linux) and they have graciously

Well, I've just ordered one, and I know *exactly* what I want to run on
it...

It does look as if a port would be pretty much trivial; it's already got
a Linux kernel and runs Ubuntu (Jaunty Jackalope), so any of the
Unslung/SlugOS LE userlands should Just Work.

Incidentally, have you spotted the serial console hooked up (via a
built-in USB-Serial converter) to the USB device socket on the side?
Very neat! You may also be interested to know that this device (the
exact shape and size as a USB phone charger, and would actually work as
one) has about the same spec as a high-end PC from 2002.

Hello!
And as it happens you forgot an ARM based port of Slackware (Unofficial as
it happens.) Which will be my selected one.

I meant what I plan on bringing to it. Over on the OWFS list there was
discussion regarding using the device for that purpose, however the single
USB port is considered to be the big problem for that process.

Well anyway, RSN is the key phrase here.

If you are looking for a generic USB enclosure to stick a drive in, there are
very few people who have had trouble with any of them. Now if you are using a
prebuilt USB external drive, or a NAS enclosure, I believe some people have had
a little more trouble. I'm using this SATA/USB enclosure for a 2.5" drive. It is
cheap and it works great.

According to www.nslu2-linux.org this group should contain such a compatability
database.

Hi
I was just given an NSLU2 without a power supply.  I purchased a power brick
(5v, 3amps) with the appropriate adapter.  However the unit seems to have issues
powering a 2.5" external drive reliably.  I initially tried hooking up a 250 gig
sata drive in a generic (ritmo) case (and also tried another case).  It
sometimes would power up, but then the drive would make a clicking sound...and
the drive would not be accessible.  It seemed to work better with a 80gig pata
drive but tonight it did the same thing....drive starts to spin up then seems to
constantly restart.  I have tried another 5v 2amps power supply with same
result.  What could be causing this issue and what can I do to diagnose this
issue and resolve it....or am I just better using an 3.5 powered case with the
slug?  (I am using it as a twonky streamer for xbox360 and transmission client)

Diagnosis is simple: add a power supply to your external case. Even the small
cases typically have a place to add a power supply. I suspect you will find that
the NSLU2's USB port is not a "high-power" port and cannot support current hogs
like most small drive cases.

I did add a power supply to the a 2.5" drive I had but it seemed to provide
power to the nslu2 even when it was turned off...I would shut down the nslu2 and
hear the appropriate beeps from the nslu2 to indicate it had shut down but it
seemed to still be getting power from the external caddy.

Cheers

Hi,

Just ran into this one, http://fit-pc2.com, a very small, very slim,
noiseless, ultra low power (8W), very performing (1.1 GHz, 1GB internal
RAM), system. Very new as well (they start to accept orders from April
2009).

Current price for the diskless, OS-less version: $245

Several people have apparently found a database at
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-general/database .  This is
referenced in other forums such as
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/ListsOfDriveEnclosuresChipsetsAndDr\
iveCombinationsThatWork .

However, when I go there I get this message : "You are not a moderator
of the group nslu2-general. "

What's your result for going to that database page ?

I can see it cause Im a moderator. I tried to change the policy but I dont think
it will work for users, but try again.
As a user I cant see the database-link.
I also tried to copy the relevant part into a html plaintext but it
didnt work to well.,its  more or less unreadable that way=(.
anyway here it is
http://wshavsskogen.ownit.nu/slugdb.html

I have no  more time working with it.

sorry maybe the groupowner can fix this issue.
Another problem for me is: groupowner dont answer my emails....

I think that it should be apparent by now that the database is quite
out-of-date, and that it's probably not useful any longer (else someone
would have fixed this a long time ago!).

The USB enclosure compatibility is a function of software, not hardware.
  SlugOS, OpenWRT, and Debian are recent kernels, and you'll find that if
it works on the desktop, it'll work with the NSLU2.  Unslung still has
restrictions, and perhaps a copy of that information might be useful for
Unslung users?

Moving that to the wiki is on the list of things to address, but I can't
promise when that info would be available.  Volunteers to do this are
happily accepted.

I'm not the group owner, but I had enough access to change the database
to be readable to group members.

I heard Canonical were going to start supporting ARM CPU's, so had a look and
found this site:
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/ARM/NSLU2
I tried updating the menu at www.nslu2-linux.org to include Ubuntu in the
projects, but didn't have the password.
Does someone with editing permissions want to add this in?

I'm installing it now, very similar to the Debian install so far (funny that).
Anyone else given it a go?
