**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Nov 23 02:59:56 2005 Nov 23 05:49:31 hey! Nov 23 05:50:19 i just installed ufsd on my nslu2, now i tried to create a new entry to /etc/fstab to mount my ntfs hd, but whatever i put in /etc/fstab is deleted when booted next time Nov 23 05:50:23 can anyone help? Nov 23 06:31:18 ne1 installed a mailserver? Nov 23 09:08:20 hey Nov 23 09:11:18 i installed udfs and tried to add this to /etc/fstab so my ntfs drive gets mounted automatically when booting, however, the line i added is always deleted from /etc/fstab when rebooting, and no ntfs drive is mounted: Nov 23 09:11:18 /dev/sdb1 /share/flash/data udfs rw,uid=501,gid=501 Nov 23 09:11:21 can anyone help ? Nov 23 09:11:32 ~ask Nov 23 09:11:34 If you have a question, just ask, maybe someone have an answer... sometimes. Nov 23 09:13:20 emtek, your system is uNSLUng-5.5? Nov 23 09:19:09 caplink811_log, yep Nov 23 09:19:32 5.5beta Nov 23 09:23:28 emtek, the date of /etc/fstab is 1.1.1970? Nov 23 09:26:03 uhm Nov 23 09:26:07 Jan 1 01:00 Nov 23 09:26:28 so it seems, that a process on boot up overwrite the fstab Nov 23 09:27:22 if you want to mount the partition automagically, then it could be a better way to mount the part in /opt/etc/init.d/Sxxmymount Nov 23 14:26:19 i installed udfs and tried to add this to /etc/fstab so my ntfs drive gets mounted automatically when booting, however, the line i added is always deleted from /etc/fstab when rebooting, and no ntfs drive is mounted: Nov 23 14:26:27 "/dev/sdb1 /share/flash/data udfs rw,uid=501,gid=501" Nov 23 14:26:34 can anyone help? Nov 23 14:28:00 as i mentioned in the afternoon, there could be a process in boot up state which overwrite the /etc/fstab with the content from the romfs, so it is a good way to mount the part via /opt/etc/init.d/Sxxmymount Nov 23 14:28:06 e.g. Nov 23 14:28:12 #!/bin/sh Nov 23 14:28:25 insmod udfs.o Nov 23 14:28:53 mount -t udfs.o /dev/sdax /mountpoint parameters Nov 23 14:28:58 exit Nov 23 14:29:24 caplink, im just grepping all my files to check which ones contain "/hdd/share/data"... i hope ill find the one that copies over my fstab too Nov 23 14:29:52 i want to avoid having to mount a drive at startup by a script Nov 23 14:30:51 yeah, but there is /etc/rc.d/rc.bootbin or similar, which is binary, you could strace that file to see if anything like fstab is in the result Nov 23 14:31:43 and if the filedate of /etc/fstab is after every reboot set to 1.1.1970 than this is a copy from romfs Nov 23 14:33:03 argh Nov 23 14:33:10 how can i check the date including the year??? Nov 23 14:33:43 normally ls -la Nov 23 14:33:47 yeah Nov 23 14:33:48 ls -al Nov 23 14:33:52 but i only get the time Nov 23 14:33:54 not the year Nov 23 14:34:10 Jan 1 01:00 Nov 23 14:35:20 [root@linus etc]$ ls -la fstab Nov 23 14:35:21 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 361 Jan 1 1970 fstab Nov 23 14:35:23 hm Nov 23 14:35:49 argh Nov 23 14:35:52 your date/time on the nslu is correct?
