Hi.
I'm trying to connect a regular usb hd to the front port of the ns2. This is a usb disk with 2 partitions, the first has a weird file system and the second is ext3. None are being auto mounted. which is fine for the first partition (don't want to use it here) but i would like to access the second one (ext3). So i logged via ssh and and fdisk -l tells me the ns2 is seeing the partitions as a sdb1 and sdb2 (also tells me they're ntfs for some reason). I managed to mount the sdb2 and check its contents with winscp (mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /...).
This is what i'm having difficult with, i'd like to find a way of having the ns2 copy files from the internal drive to my usb disk (without the need for an extra computer copying it). And if possible mount that usb as a regular share showing up in the ns2 webgui shares (although this optional, but maybe it's needed for the copy?). Will a simple cp command from winscp work for the copy process? How do i go about having my usb show up as a share?
Thanks for your time, whoever anwsers :)
