**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jan 18 03:00:03 2006 Jan 18 09:17:35 Just got my NSLU2 today, upgrade to V2.3R63, but my drive will only show in the webinterface (the drive light comes on on the NSUL2) when it is formatted with NTFS or FAT32, and when I click Format Disk in the web interface it says that the disk is not a HDD. Any ideas? Jan 18 10:29:44 evening all ... here is today's Q :-) ... I am going to update to a new hard disk. can i copy somehow all the stuff ive doen sofar with installing packages, editing files etc ? Jan 18 11:06:53 no ideas anyone ? Jan 18 12:00:02 anyone here? Jan 18 12:07:32 well, im going to leave this open, but i have to go. if anyone reads this, i seem not to be able to download files via the private log on in the web interface. it only affects files on the drive im "unslung" to. i have the lastest release of unslung, is there any way to fix this? Jan 18 12:44:22 hi, why does my slug not detect my hard drive after hotplugging it to unsling it? Jan 18 12:44:34 the LED is on, though Jan 18 12:52:52 going for ntfs and no hotplug now, argh Jan 18 13:07:01 anybody on? Jan 18 13:07:09 cp /etc/passwd /share/hdd/conf/passwd Jan 18 13:07:21 will this change all passwords on newest unslung? Jan 18 13:12:59 so, I unslung my disk, rebooted, now the ethernet and disk1 LEDs are on, but ready/status not, doesn't seem to boot right, any ideas? Jan 18 13:52:28 ipkg: No such file or directory Jan 18 13:52:33 what does that mean? Jan 18 13:53:33 and: how do I solve it and get ipkg running? Jan 18 14:14:51 f*** Jan 18 14:40:46 Hi there! im new with the nslu2 and i have a little question.. Im now running unslung 5.x firmware, and im trying to install openssh.. but i keep getting "No space left on device" errors from ipkg, it seems like it's trying to put files on /usr /etc instead of my /shared/hdd/usr etc. Could i specify this somehow? Jan 18 14:41:09 (i did unsling on my 'disk1' drive) Jan 18 14:41:49 Could i specify this somehow? <- the path.. excuse my poor english please Jan 18 15:07:02 oh wait Jan 18 15:07:17 hah. it just needed a reboot Jan 18 15:07:37 sorry for the nubletness Jan 18 15:07:39 bye.

Jan 19 01:14:53 wow Jan 19 01:14:56 that must suck Jan 19 01:16:10 yep Jan 19 01:17:00 ran into every trouble I could run into, like drive not recognized, reformat re unsling, then the top led wouldn't turn on, find next FAQ and delete some files and so on. no wonder it's not woking right Jan 19 01:19:07 so, any ideas why it's telling me after ipkg: ipkg: file or direcory not found Jan 19 01:23:30 that means you're not "unslung" Jan 19 01:24:03 but everything looked fine to me, so you say I should unsling the external disk again? Jan 19 01:24:15 and I don't have to reflash? Jan 19 01:30:41 somewhere along the line your unslinging did not "take" - the last thing that a successful unsling does is to make it such that ipkg runs Jan 19 01:32:39 oh, okay, so I'll try formatting and reformatting and unslinging the disk, if that doesn't work, reinstall firmware, right? Jan 19 01:33:58 you shouldn't have to re-install firmware - unless the slug won't boot without anything attached Jan 19 01:34:34 go ahead and unsling to port 2 (since that will be standard for next unslung 6) Jan 19 01:36:00 oh, it boots just fine with and without hhd attached. okay, format disk as ntfs (as hotplug won't work), format on port2 unsling port2, celebrate, thank ByronT for help Jan 19 01:36:21 sounds like a good plan ;) Jan 19 01:37:49 just remember to follow the README - the instructions are fairly explicit (if not overly so) Jan 19 01:46:31 well, I followed the readme as much as I could but I got into trouble and other FAQs, like what to do if disk isn't recognized after hotplugging it and stuff, so I had to do some additional stuff Jan 19 01:54:17 basically, I got every problem that could happen.... many many FAQs later I got to boot my not-really unslung disk Jan 19 02:05:57 oh well, if I had had ipkg I could work on my slug from work now, dammit **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jan 19 02:59:58 2006
