May 18 12:10:22 <roel_san> hello all!
May 18 12:10:39 <roel_san> is it normal in 4.20 that /opt is not a symlink?
May 18 12:11:20 <caplink811-away> if you mase a /sbin/unsling disk1, then yes
May 18 12:11:28 <caplink811-away> a/mase/made
May 18 12:12:13 <roel_san> aha
May 18 12:12:31 <roel_san> but when i did 'ipkg install' something, I got an error saying that there was no more room
May 18 12:12:47 <roel_san> so i thought 'let's act like i know something about this'
May 18 12:12:50 <roel_san> rm -rf'ed /opt
May 18 12:13:02 <roel_san> and symlinked it to /share/hdd/data/opt
May 18 12:13:07 <roel_san> was that very bad?
May 18 12:13:10 <roel_san> or just a little?
May 18 12:13:11 <caplink811-away> so, had you've read the readme? and, had you done /sbin/slingover?
May 18 12:13:27 <roel_san> well hmm
May 18 12:13:31 * roel_san looks away
May 18 12:13:48 * roel_san whistles
May 18 12:14:08 <roel_san> the good news is that i didn't have any data or anything on the disk
May 18 12:14:35 <roel_san> otherwise I wouldn't have done anything to it that i thought could be dangerous
May 18 12:14:51 <roel_san> what i tried to do was get a completely blank 4.20 installation
May 18 12:14:53 <caplink811-away> but you've done an update from 3.x to 4.x?
May 18 12:15:09 <roel_san> it seemed like i couldn't get the traces from 3.x removed
May 18 12:15:14 <roel_san> yeah an update
May 18 12:15:18 <roel_san> and it all works and all
May 18 12:15:24 <roel_san> so no complaints there
May 18 12:15:29 <caplink811-away> except ipkg
May 18 12:15:38 <roel_san> i was just wondering if that /opt thing changed from 3 to 4
May 18 12:15:46 <roel_san> yeah the ipkg thing
May 18 12:16:01 <roel_san> but that works ok now that i've symlinked /opt to /share/hdd/data/opt
May 18 12:16:04 <caplink811-away> that's in the readme, and was also in the ml, announced from rwhitby
May 18 12:16:36 <roel_san> yeah i've been reading the readme (after i did the symlinking thing)
May 18 12:17:01 <roel_san> but i didn't find there that /opt is no longer a symlink
May 18 12:17:54 <caplink811-away> yeah, but, if the slug runs from /dev/sda1 (disk1) aka /share/hdd/data then /opt is /share/hdd/data/opt
May 18 12:18:37 <roel_san> you mean the mountpoint for /dev/sda1 is now /opt?
May 18 12:18:42 <roel_san> hmm
May 18 12:18:52 <roel_san> then i don't know why i got the strange ipkg message
May 18 12:18:59 <caplink811-away> no, the mountpooint for /dev/sda1 is /share/hdd/data
May 18 12:19:24 <roel_san> ah yes
May 18 12:19:29 <roel_san> of course
May 18 12:19:30 <caplink811-away> and you should execute /sbin/slingover
May 18 12:19:45 <roel_san> maybe I should start over completely
May 18 12:19:47 <roel_san> again :)
May 18 12:19:51 <caplink811-away> and your root dir is /share/hdd/data aka /
May 18 12:20:00 <roel_san> ok cool
May 18 12:20:01 <roel_san> thanks
May 18 12:20:17 <roel_san> my gf just came home
May 18 12:20:20 <roel_san> so i gotta go
May 18 12:20:24 <roel_san> thanks for the info
May 18 12:20:26 <roel_san> i'll be back :)
May 18 12:20:44 <caplink811-away> if you want the same behaviour like in 3.x you must use an other parameter on /sbin/unsling
May 18 12:35:25 <mandor05> join #nslu2-general
May 18 13:08:58 <roel_san> ok here i am again
May 18 13:09:07 <roel_san> if i want to nuke the whole configuration of the slug
May 18 13:09:15 <roel_san> what is the best way to do that?
May 18 13:09:27 <roel_san> i've tried formatting the harddisk through the web interface
May 18 13:09:44 <roel_san> maybe i can try fdisk and just delete the partitions
May 18 13:09:47 <roel_san> that should do it
May 18 13:18:26 <caplink811> roel_san: yes, imo the easiest way, after fdisk, format via webif should work fine
May 18 13:28:16 <roel_san> after a little struggle with the fdisk that came with the slug i've deleted the partitions through windows and i'm formatting it again now through the web interface
May 18 13:28:40 <roel_san> i've abused the little thing quite a bit already since i got it last wednesday ;)
May 18 13:28:52 <caplink811> sorry about that, yes, i mean win fdisk
May 18 13:29:05 <roel_san> yeah
May 18 13:29:17 <roel_san> is it a known problem that the included fdisk doesn't work?
May 18 13:29:27 <roel_san> or maybe i just don't know how to use it
May 18 13:29:36 <roel_san> although there aren't that many options :)
May 18 13:31:51 <caplink811> imo is the linksys fdisk a little buggy
May 18 13:32:57 <roel_san> yeah
May 18 13:33:06 <roel_san> all i got from it was a partition listing
May 18 13:33:07 <roel_san> ah well
May 18 13:33:23 <roel_san> it's keeping me busy :)
