Apr 03 00:10:10 <noeska> hello?
Apr 03 01:36:48 <wiler> is it possible to run samba as a pdc using the unslung fermware? or do i need to install openSlug
Apr 03 01:38:55 <caplink811> linksys samba is a v2.x
Apr 03 01:40:23 <caplink811> and it's an ipkg package avaiable with v3.0.11
Apr 03 01:41:22 <caplink811> so you want to go to http://us1.samba.org/samba/ and see which version you needs for your request
Apr 03 04:41:44 <alejandroplatten> hello
Apr 03 04:41:52 <caplink811> hi
Apr 03 04:42:03 <alejandroplatten> does anyone know if I can use a USB hub to attach multiple disks
Apr 03 04:42:10 <alejandroplatten> and raid them together?
Apr 03 04:43:23 <caplink811> you have read http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/EnableRAIDSupport ?
Apr 03 04:44:47 <alejandroplatten> I've read that
Apr 03 04:45:06 <alejandroplatten> but I'm interested in using a USB 2.0 hub in attaching like 4 disks to one port
Apr 03 04:45:24 <alejandroplatten> I'm using the second port for an USB ethernet adapter
Apr 03 04:45:58 <caplink811> so i think, only two discs directly connected to the slug are supported at this time,may be better if openslug comes up
Apr 03 04:47:26 <alejandroplatten> hmm not good
Apr 03 04:47:46 <alejandroplatten> say wouldn't it work if I manually mounted the other drives?
Apr 03 04:48:02 <alejandroplatten> sda, sdb, sdc, etc...?
Apr 03 04:48:15 <caplink811> you may read the #nslu2-linux logs, i think, there was a discussion about that topic the last days
Apr 03 04:48:34 <caplink811> http://ibot.rikers.org/%23nslu2-linux/
Apr 03 04:54:53 <alejandroplatten> thanks
Apr 03 05:04:42 <caplink811> stay
Apr 03 05:04:54 <noeska> hello
Apr 03 05:05:01 <caplink811> good evening
Apr 03 05:05:25 <noeska> you know a lot about the nslu2
Apr 03 05:05:41 <caplink811> dunno, how much is a lot ;-)
Apr 03 05:06:06 <noeska> i am having problems getting a freecom harddisk to work
Apr 03 05:06:33 <caplink811> define problems, pls
Apr 03 05:06:40 <noeska> linksys support says i need a maxtor harddisk
Apr 03 05:06:54 <noeska> it is not detected on startup
Apr 03 05:06:56 <caplink811> noope, running here a samsung, in an icy case
Apr 03 05:07:28 <noeska> the harddisk does spin up thoughh
Apr 03 05:07:52 <alejandroplatten> is it on?
Apr 03 05:08:37 <alejandroplatten> I mean is it detected when you login and run mount?
Apr 03 05:08:40 <noeska> the hardisk led flashes tree times and makes a little hum indicating it is alive, also it does work from windows
Apr 03 05:08:56 <noeska> no it is not detected
Apr 03 05:09:09 <alejandroplatten> did you format it?
Apr 03 05:09:24 <alejandroplatten> or try from the web gui?
Apr 03 05:09:27 <noeska> as it is not detected i cannot format it
Apr 03 05:09:46 <alejandroplatten> firmware update for disk available?
Apr 03 05:10:02 <noeska> how do i know
Apr 03 05:10:03 <caplink811> have you had a look at the "compability" list at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-general/database?method=reportRows&tbl=1
Apr 03 05:10:41 <caplink811> so some chipsets in some enclosures doesn't work properly with the slug
Apr 03 05:12:35 <noeska> i do not have my yahoo account ready for use, i look at it tomorrow
Apr 03 05:12:46 <caplink811> noeska: on a win pc the disc works fine?
Apr 03 05:12:56 <noeska> yes
Apr 03 05:13:14 <noeska> the specs are freecom 160GB
Apr 03 05:14:22 <caplink811> noeska: if your startup the slug without the hd, and then you plug it in usb1 the led went green?
Apr 03 05:15:02 <noeska> no
Apr 03 05:15:34 <noeska> usb flash drives do work though
Apr 03 05:16:23 <caplink811> so there would be a problem wit the enclosure
Apr 03 05:18:10 <noeska> i hope i can swap it at the shop for another brand, i just bought i yesterday :-)
Apr 03 05:20:14 <alejandroplatten> lacie works nice and is relatively cheap
Apr 03 05:20:41 <alejandroplatten> I have a 250GB which I purchased for 180 a few monthes back. Now it can be bought for about 140
Apr 03 05:20:48 <alejandroplatten> dollars that is
Apr 03 05:20:57 <noeska> i think i have it tested at the shop first
Apr 03 05:20:59 <caplink811> there's also a list of compatible hw at www.nslu2-info.de, as a dutch may be you're able to read
Apr 03 05:21:39 <noeska> clever finding out i am living in the netherlands -:)
Apr 03 05:22:08 <caplink811> xs4all.nl, must be netherlands ;-)
Apr 03 05:24:49 <caplink811> so time to leave, good luck tomorrow,and good night
Apr 03 05:27:21 <noeska> oh my adsl connection gives that away, of course
Apr 03 05:27:29 <noeska> good night
Apr 03 05:28:20 <noeska> thanks
Apr 03 06:56:20 <tjcoder> hey anyone know why my nslu2(with or without unslung) has so much trouble formatting disks?
Apr 03 07:35:06 <sluggo> anyone know how to display cpu usage on the slug?
Apr 03 07:35:20 <jbowler> "top"
Apr 03 07:35:29 <sluggo> excecpt thats not included
Apr 03 07:35:52 <sluggo> and the ps command in busybox doesnt display cpu info from what I can tell
Apr 03 07:36:22 <sluggo> the newer(and more functional) busybox conflicts with some other packages i use
Apr 03 07:37:05 <sluggo> did you get top from the busybox package?
Apr 03 07:37:14 <jbowler> you can simply rename the newer 'busybox' as 'top'
Apr 03 07:37:46 <jbowler> I'm using openslug - that has busybox built with top
Apr 03 07:37:54 <sluggo> ahh
Apr 03 07:38:20 <sluggo> yeah id have to hack the busybox package to get top. I was hoping there was a more elegant solution
Apr 03 08:35:16 <dr_nick> hi
Apr 03 08:54:34 <tjcoder> a-ha! ok, anyone know why mke2fs would segfault?
Apr 03 08:57:19 <tjcoder> how is it possible that i'm the only one who's ever had this problem?
Apr 03 09:27:03 <tjcoder_> any reasons a nslu2 would segfault?
