Jul 16 09:56:14 <NSLU2-IRC> can somebody tell me an easy way to add a new user onto my slug?
Jul 16 09:56:37 <vertigo> can somebody tell me an easy way to add a new user onto my slug? 
Jul 16 10:02:40 <grimreap> when I try to install nano, it tries to install ncurses too, but it always says theres no space left on device for the install, the harddrive has plenty of space free though
Jul 16 10:03:07 <vertigo> what is rootfs mounted as?
Jul 16 10:03:30 <grimreap> I dunno, default?
Jul 16 10:03:31 <grimreap> rootfs 6400 6280 120 98% /
Jul 16 10:03:40 <vertigo> there's the problem
Jul 16 10:04:12 <vertigo> have you unslung?
Jul 16 10:04:15 <grimreap> yeah
Jul 16 10:04:26 <grimreap> V2.3R25-uNSLUng-standard-3.18-beta
Jul 16 10:05:03 <vertigo> how big is the hard drive?  is it an enclosure?
Jul 16 10:05:18 <grimreap> yeah 160gigs
Jul 16 10:05:33 <vertigo> you booted with the hdd connected?
Jul 16 10:05:40 <grimreap> yeah
Jul 16 10:06:01 <grimreap> I have two drives connected up but the others for backup
Jul 16 10:06:14 <vertigo> what does the line for /dev/sda1 say?
Jul 16 10:06:27 <grimreap> /dev/sda1 153660192 117494576 34604500 77% /share/hdd/data
Jul 16 10:06:38 <vertigo> that's the 160.
Jul 16 10:06:42 <grimreap> yeah
Jul 16 10:06:48 <vertigo> so your 160 isn't mounting as rootfs.
Jul 16 10:06:51 <vertigo> you're filling up flash
Jul 16 10:06:59 <grimreap> yeah
Jul 16 10:07:02 <grimreap> sounds like it
Jul 16 10:07:15 <grimreap> I havent messed with it for months to be honest
Jul 16 10:07:35 <grimreap> and then I realized it wasn't backing up anymore so I needed to edit that script to fix it
Jul 16 10:07:37 <vertigo> was it working before?
Jul 16 10:07:39 <grimreap> but no editor installed heh
Jul 16 10:07:47 <grimreap> well it used to
Jul 16 10:07:55 <grimreap> looks like it hasnt for a while though
Jul 16 10:07:59 <vertigo> you can edit with vi
Jul 16 10:08:04 <vertigo> but that doesn't fix your mount problem
Jul 16 10:08:10 <grimreap> no
Jul 16 10:08:54 <grimreap> any idea how to fix that?
Jul 16 10:09:12 <vertigo> try typing mount
Jul 16 10:09:30 <grimreap> yeah that shows a bunch of moutns
Jul 16 10:09:33 <grimreap> er mounts
Jul 16 10:09:50 <grimreap> I think I had some problem before and I reflashed the whole thing
Jul 16 10:09:53 <vertigo> what does /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 say?
Jul 16 10:10:15 <grimreap> /dev/sda1 on /share/hdd/data type ext3 (rw)
Jul 16 10:10:16 <grimreap> /dev/sdb1 on /share/flash/data type ext3 (rw)
Jul 16 10:10:59 <grimreap> and when I reflashed every ipkg I had installed was gone, and then I just havent messed with it for a while
Jul 16 10:11:29 <vertigo> try doing this..
Jul 16 10:11:31 <vertigo> type sync
Jul 16 10:11:35 <vertigo> then reboot
Jul 16 10:11:56 <grimreap> ok
Jul 16 10:12:18 <vertigo> so sync doesn't show anything..just gives you another prompt
Jul 16 10:12:19 <grimreap> when I typed sync and hit enter it just like gave me another prompt pretty fast
Jul 16 10:12:24 <grimreap> yeah
Jul 16 10:12:25 <vertigo> that's good
Jul 16 10:12:29 <vertigo> now type reboot
Jul 16 10:12:38 <grimreap> ok its rebooting
Jul 16 10:12:50 <vertigo> ok..when it reboots, telnet back in and check df
Jul 16 10:13:14 <vertigo> it sounds like it recognizes the drive, just doesn't want to mount it 
Jul 16 10:13:33 <grimreap> ok
Jul 16 10:15:42 <vertigo> rootfs should look something like this
Jul 16 10:15:44 <vertigo> rootfs                19039516    397244  18448840   2% /
Jul 16 10:16:05 <grimreap> yeah
Jul 16 10:16:32 <grimreap> hm I dont know if its taking a while to reboot or is booting back up
Jul 16 10:16:39 <vertigo> it takes a while on mine
Jul 16 10:16:41 <vertigo> about 10 mins
Jul 16 10:16:47 <grimreap> does it beep before it reboots?
Jul 16 10:16:52 <vertigo> the ready (top light) should be blinking
Jul 16 10:16:58 <grimreap> yeah its blinking
Jul 16 10:17:05 <vertigo> yeah, give it time
Jul 16 10:17:07 <grimreap> ok
Jul 16 10:17:35 <vertigo> it beeps after the reboot
Jul 16 10:17:42 <vertigo> and the top light should stop blinking
Jul 16 10:17:58 <vertigo> you're dangerously close to filling your flash though..that's not good
Jul 16 10:20:34 <grimreap> yeah ugh
Jul 16 10:20:37 <grimreap> it hasnt beeped at all
Jul 16 10:21:39 <vertigo> yeah, i'd give it up to 10 minutes
Jul 16 10:21:45 <vertigo> mine seems to take forever
Jul 16 10:21:49 <vertigo> i'm not sure if that's normal
Jul 16 10:22:00 <vertigo> you should be seeing the lights on the enclosure flashing as well
Jul 16 10:22:07 <vertigo> at least, when the slug is accessing the hdd
Jul 16 10:22:09 <grimreap> ok
Jul 16 10:22:21 <grimreap> just the top ones been flashing
Jul 16 10:22:36 <vertigo> do you have an enclosure with lights?
Jul 16 10:22:41 <grimreap> yeah
Jul 16 10:22:44 <grimreap> just green
Jul 16 10:22:49 <vertigo> i see
Jul 16 10:23:07 <vertigo> is that showing any type of activity at any point?
Jul 16 10:23:39 <grimreap> nope
Jul 16 10:24:48 <vertigo> hmm..i would still wait
Jul 16 10:25:07 <vertigo> because if you pull the drive or do anything else, it won't mount
Jul 16 10:25:21 <grimreap> ok
Jul 16 10:25:34 <vertigo> if this doesn't work after a long period of time, i'd try booting the slug without the drives attached
Jul 16 10:25:54 <vertigo> then you can go into the web interface and plug in the drive.  you should see if it detects
Jul 16 10:26:02 <grimreap> it rebooted fine a week or two ago so if it's not now I think it must be cause the flash is pretty much filled up
Jul 16 10:26:37 <vertigo> well if all else fails, don't worry..there's a howto on the site that should help you
Jul 16 10:27:47 <grimreap> oh
Jul 16 10:29:28 <grimreap> I dont think its gonna reboot
Jul 16 10:29:38 <grimreap> been more than 10 mins
Jul 16 10:29:40 <vertigo> hmm:  check this out in the meantime http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RecoverFromABadFlash
Jul 16 10:30:16 <grimreap> im gonna unplug the power and restart it
Jul 16 10:30:22 <vertigo> no problem
Jul 16 10:30:29 <vertigo> see if it works that way
Jul 16 10:31:05 <vertigo> mine does that too sometimes..reboot doesn't work right, but if i pull the power it works
Jul 16 10:31:18 <vertigo> and give it another 10 mins
Jul 16 10:35:12 <grimreap> think im gonna have to flash it in redboot
Jul 16 10:38:55 <grimreap> cause its not booting back up
Jul 16 10:39:09 <grimreap> should I install the same slug version or a new one?
Jul 16 10:39:16 <vertigo> yeah, you might have to do that.  you could do that, that would bring the flash back to 81 where it should be
Jul 16 10:39:24 <vertigo> but there is a new version that works really well.
Jul 16 10:39:31 <vertigo> like like 5.x
Jul 16 10:39:46 <grimreap> which one should I do
Jul 16 10:40:22 <vertigo> http://www.unslung.org/clickthru.php?p=download&f=Unslung-5.5-beta-firmware.zip&l=ixp_license.txt&k=6bc65c17ac10f4013e433a1103baa34f
Jul 16 10:41:11 <grimreap> ok
Jul 16 10:41:29 <grimreap> im gonna take a shower first heh be back in a bit
Jul 16 10:57:54 <grimreap> holy crap
Jul 16 10:57:57 <grimreap> it booted back up
Jul 16 10:58:11 <grimreap> 25 mins? heh
Jul 16 11:01:34 <grimreap> but cna't ping it so it doesnt do me any good
Jul 16 11:39:52 <grimreap> hm
Jul 16 11:42:08 <grimreap> so can anyone tell me how I fix the rootfs from running from flash to running from the hdd?
