Thwarted in attempt to install fvdw-sl-console

[fvdw]

almost there

After uploading You need to set permission of the mke2fs-ext3 file afbefore you can use it

Code: Select all

chmod 755 /sbin/mke2fs-ext3

Seems I forgot to mention it

ps in principle the firmware should already run now also without sda8 not formatted, but we need to format sda8 to be able to store data (saherd folders) on the disk

Hi

Still seems to be a catch

Code: Select all

(none) login: root
Password:
root@(none):/ # tftp -r mke2fs-ext3 -l /sbin/mke2fs-ext3 -g 192.168.11.3
mke2fs-ext3          100% |****************************************|   261k  0:00:00 ETA
root@(none):/ # chmod 755 /sbin/mke2fs-ext3
root@(none):/ # mke2fs-ext3 -j -m l /dev/sda8
mke2fs-ext3: invalid reserved blocks percent - l
root@(none):/ #


Or did I do something wrong?

[fvdw]

yes you did something wrong,
again you used behind the -m option the letter l while you use the number 1 (one) ;)

[Fuddyduddy]

Ahem! Ahem! But I copied-and-pasted my input from your post... :evilwink

Never mind. Changing it to a 'one' seems to have done the trick and that's all that matters.:)

Uh! Another hiccup

root@(none):/ # mke2fa-ext3 -j -m 1 /dev/sda8
-sh: mke2fa-ext3: not found


In case it's not obvious, what I was trying to do was proceed to the following step. You'll see that this wasn't successful. Any ideas?

format partition 8
Code:
mke2fs-ext3 -j -m l /dev/sda8

This will take some time to complete as it needs to format 1 TB
When it is finished we create on folder on it

[fvdw]

:disapprove
this command

root@(none):/ # mke2fa-ext3 -j -m 1 /dev/sda8
-sh: mke2fa-ext3: not found

was not in my instruction

this is the last part of the instruction I gave you

Code: Select all

mke2fs-ext3 -j -m 1 /dev/sda8

This will take some time to complete as it needs to format 1 TB
When it is finished we create on folder on it
First mount it

Code: Select all

mkdir /sda8
mount /dev/sda8 /sda8

create the folder

Code: Select all

mkdir /sda8/public

Umount sda8

Code: Select all

umount /sda8

done reboot the nwsp by using

Code: Select all

reboot -f

so you are almost done and can try if the magic will happen

[Fuddyduddy]

so you are almost done and can try if the magic will happen

Not quite

Code: Select all

root@(none):/ # mkdir /sda8
root@(none):/ # mkdir /sda8/public
root@(none):/ # umount /sda8
umount: can't umount /sda8: Invalid argument

EDIT

Sorry! I see my mistake. :doh

I've done it again, and finished by entering 'reboot -f. That command has no effect so I'll now pull out the lead then reconnect it.

[Fuddyduddy]

...and have now connected to the NS2 via the network interface.

(For some strange reason it didn't ask me for username/password...?)

[fvdw]

I told you also that reboot -f will have the effect that the telnet client become not responsive and the nwsp2 will reboot
After you can close the telnet client and connect to the webinterface

Close your browser and start it again and reconnect to the nas
the username of the web interface is: admin-nas
password: admin

Good morning fvdw

Just to round it off...

With your extraordinarily patient help, I've finally got there (as you will have gathered). I'm now going slowly and carefully through all the sections of the FVDWSL-BASE web interface, reading 'Help' pages as I go. This is inevitably raising some new questions, but I don't propose to post any of them in this thread; if I can't find the answers by searching the forum I'll start another thread.

One thing though:- why (under 'System Management -> Information') below 'Total... and 'Available Storage' does it say "Size: no disk image found"? I thought that at the almost final stage yesterday we uploaded the image to my NS2...

(btw where is the 'Donate' button located?)

Hi Fuddyduddy,

(btw where is the 'Donate' button located?)

:scratch You should see it in the top banner

This is not information for the data partition but about the usb-extra feature : to have a direct USB connection with a PC, you must create a special disk image. (see the menu Attached devices -> USB-extras)
