Lacie 5Big2 Failed After Firmware Update

[fvdw]

that meas we can write to the usb disk.

now try to create a directoroy with name /mountpoint/backup/3/2013/

Code: Select all

mkdir /mountpoint/backup/3/2013/

this will only succeed if the folders /mountpoint/backup and mountpoint/backup/3 already exists
if they do not exists create those first

[fvdw]

and then create /mountpoint/backup/3/2013/01 - January

A problem here could be the spaces in the file name
probaly you will need to use quotes around them

Code: Select all

mkdir '/mountpoint/backup/3/2013/01 - January'

if you use this

Code: Select all

mkdir /mountpoint/backup/3/2013/01 - January

it will create a folder with name /mountpoint/backup/3/2013/01
And this could be the problem why cp command fails (the missing quotes in case there are spaces in the file name)
How to solve that I need to think about

[unlucky1]

Yes it worked with quotes. Without, it fails...

root@(none):/mountpoint/backup # mkdir '/mountpoint/backup/3/2013/01 - January'
root@(none):/mountpoint/backup # mkdir /mountpoint/backup/3/2013/01 - February
root@(none):/mountpoint/backup # ls /mountpoint/backup/3/2013/
01 01 - January
root@(none):/mountpoint/backup #

What about seeing if we can get the ftp server running instead and I copy the files that way? FTPd is more forgiving, no?

[Mijzelf]

Did you already try my suggestion

Code: Select all

tcpsvd -vE 0.0.0.0 21 busybox ftpd /mp2

[fvdw]

The following makes ftp server running in the sdtandalone kernel on my nwsp2

Code: Select all

ln -s /bin/busybox /bin/ftpd
tcpsvd -vE 192.168.1.252 21 ftpd /

connecting to it with filezilla works ok (use ip 192.168.1.252 to connect to, assume you used that as well in telnet client)

[unlucky1]

address is still bound from before. How do I unbind it?

root@(none):/ # tcpsvd -vE 0.0.0.0 21 busybox ftpd /mp2
tcpsvd: bind: Address already in use

[Mijzelf]

killall tcpsvd

I think. And else, just take another port.

You know, I'll just change the port. Duh me! That should work.
