Jul 18 15:07:59 <akhayyat> hi
Jul 18 15:08:19 <akhayyat> i don't know my nslu2's ip, how would i go around this situation?
Jul 18 15:09:02 <akhayyat> it is not in either of 192.168.[0,1].* networks.. as far as ping 192.168.[0,1].255 can tell
Jul 18 15:09:54 <akhayyat> this happened after i booted to redboot and issues the command "reset"
Jul 18 15:10:10 <akhayyat> BTW, what does that "reset" do exactly?
Jul 18 15:10:51 <ByronT> just reboots it
Jul 18 15:11:13 <ByronT> if you did nothing else, it just tells the bootloader to restart the boot process
Jul 18 15:11:18 <akhayyat> that's what i was thinking when i used it, but now i cannot ping at all
Jul 18 15:11:26 <ByronT> the defaul ip is 192.168.1.77
Jul 18 15:11:33 <akhayyat> no response
Jul 18 15:11:35 <ByronT> s/defaul/default
Jul 18 15:12:10 <ByronT> you can always follow the wiki directions on reset the sys conf
Jul 18 15:12:28 <akhayyat> thanks
Jul 18 15:12:30 <ByronT> which essentially changes the nslu2 configuration back to factory
Jul 18 15:12:42 <ByronT> and would force the ip back to 192.168.1.77
Jul 18 15:12:50 <akhayyat> it just worked with its previous ip
Jul 18 15:13:16 <akhayyat> i was connecting it directly to the pc and that worked for redboot, but not after a complete boot
Jul 18 15:13:30 <akhayyat> it worked when i reconnected it to the router again!!
Jul 18 15:13:35 <ByronT> with cross-over cable?
Jul 18 15:13:41 <akhayyat> no
Jul 18 15:13:55 <ByronT> wierd
Jul 18 15:13:58 <akhayyat> the same cable it connects with to the router
Jul 18 15:14:02 <akhayyat> yup.. sure it is
Jul 18 16:25:33 <grimreap> can anyone help me?
Jul 18 16:25:59 <grimreap> did the ipkg command disappear from the 5.5 beta?
Jul 18 16:26:13 <ByronT> nope
Jul 18 16:26:20 <ByronT> ipkg list
Jul 18 16:26:24 <ByronT> ipkg status
Jul 18 16:26:25 <grimreap> well its gone hehe
Jul 18 16:26:37 <grimreap> # ipkg list
Jul 18 16:26:37 <grimreap> ipkg: No such file or directory
Jul 18 16:26:40 <ByronT> that means *you've* done something
Jul 18 16:26:53 <ByronT> type export path
Jul 18 16:27:06 <grimreap> no path
Jul 18 16:27:08 <grimreap> thats probably why
Jul 18 16:27:12 <ByronT> right
Jul 18 16:27:19 <grimreap> but my real problem is rootfs is on flash and not the harddrive
Jul 18 16:27:31 <ByronT> why do you say that?
Jul 18 16:27:33 <grimreap> Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
Jul 18 16:27:34 <grimreap> rootfs 6528 5308 1220 81% /
Jul 18 16:27:54 <ByronT> what is the rest of the df output?
Jul 18 16:28:02 <grimreap> /dev/mtdblock4 6528 5308 1220 81% /
Jul 18 16:28:02 <grimreap> /dev/mtdblock4 6528 5308 1220 81% /dev.state

Jul 18 16:28:37 <grimreap> I went from V2.3R25-uNSLUng-standard-3.18-beta to 5.5beta to see if that would fix the rootfs prob
Jul 18 16:29:03 <ByronT> you have anything important on your drives?
Jul 18 16:29:08 <grimreap> yeah
Jul 18 16:29:15 <grimreap> a lot of important stuff
Jul 18 16:29:20 <grimreap> the 2nd one is supposed to be a backup
Jul 18 16:29:25 <ByronT> back 'em up to another computer
Jul 18 16:29:28 <grimreap> but the backup hasnt been running for a little while
Jul 18 16:29:42 <grimreap> are you kidding me? thats the only way?
Jul 18 16:29:57 <ByronT> probably not the only way
Jul 18 16:30:14 <ByronT> but probably the less error-prone method
Jul 18 16:30:27 <grimreap> well I dont have anywhere to put the stuff
Jul 18 16:31:20 <grimreap> it didnt used to be on the rootfs
Jul 18 16:31:39 <grimreap> I had a ton of stuff installed from ipkg and then updated to the 3.18 and thats when it happened
Jul 18 16:32:01 <grimreap> and then I just didnt touch it for a few months until I realized it wasn't backing up to the 2nd drive
Jul 18 16:32:01 <ByronT> what do you mean - updated to 5.5 maybe?
Jul 18 16:32:16 <ByronT> or updated to 3.18 from ?
Jul 18 16:32:24 <grimreap> yeah
Jul 18 16:32:34 <grimreap> either from a eariler one or I relfashed it to the same one
Jul 18 16:32:38 <grimreap> I don't remember now
Jul 18 16:32:57 <ByronT> how big are your hds?
Jul 18 16:33:02 <grimreap> 160gigs each
Jul 18 16:33:22 <ByronT> so use one of them to save the important stuff
Jul 18 16:33:35 <grimreap> its all important stuff
Jul 18 16:33:45 <grimreap> thats why its on there heh
Jul 18 16:34:04 <grimreap> the 2nd drive is just a backup of the first
Jul 18 16:34:26 <ByronT> flash to linksys, reset sys conf, format hd via linksys interface, change root passwd, flash to unslung 5.5, copy all the important stuff back to newly running hd, and then redo 2nd drive
Jul 18 16:34:52 <grimreap> I cant use the linksys flash to do anything with the drive it doesnt detect it
Jul 18 16:35:10 <grimreap> well it does detect it and then it doesnt detect it, its real fickle like
Jul 18 16:35:24 <ByronT> what kind of enclosures?
Jul 18 16:35:37 <grimreap> sabrent
Jul 18 16:35:46 <ByronT> never heard of 'em
Jul 18 16:35:56 <ByronT> (not that that is bad)
Jul 18 16:36:18 <grimreap> Product # : SBT-ESU35
Jul 18 16:36:42 <grimreap> well I know on the list of enclousures it says that it doesnt work with the nslu2, but with the unslung firmware it works perfect
Jul 18 16:37:01 <grimreap> there is no other way to fix the rootfs?
Jul 18 16:37:30 <ByronT> well, my purpose of flashing to linksys, and then reset sys is to wipe clean the flash
Jul 18 16:38:18 <grimreap> I just dont have the space to copy that all over to something else
Jul 18 16:38:42 <grimreap> is there a way to just get the backup working again?
Jul 18 16:38:46 <ByronT> you said the 2nd drive is just a backup
Jul 18 16:38:50 <grimreap> right
Jul 18 16:38:58 <ByronT> wipe it
Jul 18 16:39:17 <grimreap> id have to do it all from the nslu2
Jul 18 16:39:20 <ByronT> format it, and then *copy* the stuff to the hard drive
Jul 18 16:39:37 <ByronT> and?
Jul 18 16:39:47 <ByronT> I do a bunch of stuff via the nslu2...
Jul 18 16:39:48 <grimreap> no idea how to do that
Jul 18 16:40:08 <ByronT> use the web interface to format 2nd drive
Jul 18 16:40:28 <ByronT> using windows explorer, copy from 1st drive share to new 2nd drive share
Jul 18 16:41:30 <grimreap> thats gonna take like 2 days
Jul 18 16:41:49 <grimreap> when I went to the 5.5 it says this for the 2nd drive
Jul 18 16:41:50 <grimreap> isk 2/Flash: 	Type: 	 Maxtor 6 B160P0
Jul 18 16:41:50 <grimreap> Free Space: 	0 MBytes (0 %)
Jul 18 16:42:09 <grimreap> its got like 30% free space
Jul 18 16:42:28 <ByronT> known cosmetic issue
Jul 18 16:42:41 <ByronT> in Linksys binary that displays that information
Jul 18 16:42:51 <grimreap> ok
Jul 18 16:42:58 <grimreap> ok so gonna format now then
Jul 18 16:49:27 <grimreap> ok formatted
Jul 18 16:50:17 <grimreap> now how do I access it from windows explorer
Jul 18 16:50:48 <ByronT> what windows os?
Jul 18 16:50:52 <grimreap> xp
Jul 18 16:51:06 <grimreap> when I do \\192.168.0.6\ it gives me an error
Jul 18 16:51:10 <ByronT> double click on my computer
Jul 18 16:51:37 <ByronT> then in the left hand side panel, there should be My network Places
Jul 18 16:51:42 <grimreap> yeah
Jul 18 16:51:48 <grimreap> doesnt work when I dbl click on it from there
Jul 18 16:52:05 <grimreap> says its not accessible
Jul 18 16:52:29 <grimreap> wait now its working
Jul 18 16:52:34 <grimreap> no idea why it wasn't before
Jul 18 16:52:55 <grimreap> ok so I see "admin 1" "disk 1" and "grimreap"
Jul 18 16:52:56 <ByronT> now in the left hand panel, there should be "Entire Network"
Jul 18 16:53:19 <ByronT> then Microsoft Windows Network
Jul 18 16:53:20 <grimreap> I have to disable the backup right?
Jul 18 16:53:39 <ByronT> it probably woudl be a good idea
Jul 18 16:53:46 <grimreap> cause disk2 isnt showing up
Jul 18 16:54:08 <grimreap> ok there is it
Jul 18 16:54:28 <ByronT> k... now you've got work to do... :)
Jul 18 16:54:32 <grimreap> do I just copy everything in "disk 1" to "disk 2" ?
Jul 18 16:54:59 <ByronT> if there's is a lot, I would probably be selective and just copy the important stuff
Jul 18 16:55:01 <grimreap> no I guess not heh
Jul 18 16:55:16 <grimreap> I need absolutley everything
Jul 18 16:55:52 <grimreap> ok preparing to copy
Jul 18 16:56:13 <grimreap> hope the first harddrive doesn't die heh
Jul 18 16:58:10 <ByronT> I have to head home
Jul 18 16:58:14 <ByronT> back later
Jul 18 16:59:22 <grimreap> ok
Jul 18 21:42:23 <grimreap> power went out in the middle of the copy heh
