Jan 28 08:14:36 thx i start read now ..but it is not special for the nslu2 that is nice Jan 28 08:15:08 i loaded usbserial.o and fdti_sio Jan 28 08:17:28 me1960, what happened when you plug in your adapter, any messages in the system log file ? Jan 28 08:18:41 Those are the only modules i have loaded. I get a message ser Jan 28 08:19:06 usbserial registered new driver serial Jan 28 08:19:56 ftdi_sio.c FTDI serial converters driver Jan 28 08:20:38 hub.c new usb device 00 01 1-2 assigned address 2 Jan 28 08:21:08 hub.c vend/prod ..... is not claimed by any active driver Jan 28 08:22:04 And if i pull the unit out.. i get alot of error output... Jan 28 08:23:41 it works great caplink811_log and drif thx Jan 28 08:23:56 if found a message on an other message board.. and the person at the end found After recompiling the driver with gcc 2.95 all went good ;) Jan 28 08:24:07 me1960, why do you assume, that it isn't working, how did you test it? Jan 28 08:24:33 ;-))) yep i did not test it Jan 28 08:25:22 any tips how i can test it ? is there an minicom on the nslu2 ? Jan 28 08:26:25 ipkg list|grep minicom is very usefull, ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org too, and yes, it is available Jan 28 08:27:12 oeps... more than i expected... i will search Jan 28 08:55:48 I got kicked off... hi all Jan 28 08:58:27 ipkg i get no space left on device Jan 28 09:13:36 I am trying to install minicom with ipkg and i get no splace left... can someone help me ? Jan 28 09:21:47 are you sure that you are real unsling? Jan 28 09:22:12 aka, that your rootfs is on your external media? Jan 28 09:22:56 i am a newbee. as you can see.. i found that i have to unsling... but what are the options for this program ?? Jan 28 09:23:17 I have not run unsling.. ! Jan 28 09:23:23 had you read the readme? Jan 28 09:23:37 ~readme Jan 28 09:23:38 you should read the uNSLUng-5.5 readme, which is at http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nslu/Unslung-5.5-beta-README.txt Jan 28 09:24:22 Ok... i will look into this... thanx.. Jan 28 09:24:48 and you have to reflash your nslu2 Jan 28 09:25:03 oeps... Jan 28 11:28:42 hi Jan 28 11:28:58 morning Jan 28 11:29:01 I need a hint :-) Jan 28 11:29:17 hi caplink811_log Jan 28 11:30:04 I just got a nslu2 and try to set it up Jan 28 11:30:32 I'm still using the linsys firmware, the latest version Jan 28 11:31:11 1st: the setup utility won't find the nslu2 - the flash-disk change utility does. Jan 28 11:31:47 2nd: using the web interface I can't format an attached FAT32-formated disk Jan 28 11:32:04 any idea what to do? Jan 28 11:33:10 which firmware is on the slug? Jan 28 11:33:33 V2.3R63 Jan 28 11:34:17 it tells me that the attached USB-disk is not an HDD Jan 28 11:35:00 at least firmware upgrade worked ^^ Jan 28 11:35:28 which size has the disk? Jan 28 11:35:39 3GB, 2GB free Jan 28 11:35:57 but it keeps telling me that there is 0% free space Jan 28 11:36:15 but 7 GB under that what linksys called a disk Jan 28 11:36:22 LOL Jan 28 11:36:26 mkay Jan 28 11:36:39 minimum disk size with unslung is 1 GB Jan 28 11:37:14 my provider cuts the line in 90 seconds, wb in 180 seconds Jan 28 11:37:23 well, looks like I've got a problem until I've got a larger disk Jan 28 11:37:29 ok Jan 28 11:37:40 or you should use unslung fw Jan 28 11:37:47 yes Jan 28 11:38:00 can I upgrade without disk? Jan 28 11:38:05 yes Jan 28 11:38:08 :-) Jan 28 11:38:47 ok, anything I've got to keep in mind when changing to unslung without external disk? Jan 28 11:40:53 caplink811 :) Jan 28 11:41:07 wb Jan 28 11:43:33 caplink811: anything I've got to keep in mind when changing to unslung without external disk? to upgrade the linksys firmware I used a flash-disk. Jan 28 11:43:57 about your 1st problem, your workstation should be in the same network segment as the nslu (192.168.1.77) Jan 28 11:44:06 it is Jan 28 11:44:07 sure, you should read the readme Jan 28 11:44:11 ~readme Jan 28 11:44:12 you should read the uNSLUng-5.5 readme, which is at http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nslu/Unslung-5.5-beta-README.txt Jan 28 11:44:46 ok Jan 28 11:44:53 and, if you would use a usb-mem stick you should read the following page Jan 28 11:45:36 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseAMemoryStickAsMainDrive Jan 28 11:45:54 and the stick should have a size of minimum 256mb Jan 28 11:46:49 the stick I use has about 200MB free and since it's a MP3 stick I can't reformat it Jan 28 11:47:12 so it wont work Jan 28 11:47:17 ok Jan 28 11:47:22 hmmm... Jan 28 11:47:39 that means I'm stuck until I get a new usb stick ^^ Jan 28 11:47:53 stuck without stick lol Jan 28 11:48:43 nope, you could use your 3gb disk (whihc must reformat) and unslung-5.5-beta firmware Jan 28 11:49:18 I'll have to connect my external HD to a linux machine to format it, right? Jan 28 11:49:52 no, that sould happen on the nslu (with 5.5 firmware) Jan 28 11:49:59 s/sould/should/g Jan 28 11:49:59 caplink811 meant: no, that should happen on the nslu (with 5.5 firmware) Jan 28 11:50:54 hmmm.. but the readme says I need either a ext3 formated HD or a 256MB USB stick... Jan 28 11:51:18 can I change to unslang the same way I upgraded the linksys firmware? Jan 28 11:51:20 that is right, the nslu2 use and format ext3 Jan 28 11:52:46 the fastes way to upgrade is, http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseTheResetButtonToEnterUpgradeMode and then use the sercomm utility to flash the nslu2 Jan 28 11:53:29 you can find the sercomm tool here http://www.nslu2-info.de/downloads.php?do=file&id=14&act=down Jan 28 11:54:50 ok, thanks Jan 28 11:55:07 I'll try again :-) Jan 28 11:55:23 see you caplink811 Jan 28 12:38:12 caplink811 :) Jan 28 13:24:39 hi. anyone here whith their slug running RAID1? Jan 28 13:32:06 anyone with an idea about the extra load this puts on the processor? can i expect worse/better disk performance? about how much? Jan 28 13:41:58 becol_be raid1 is mirroring. this won't speed up/slow down the disk... it's just more secure... well, i think it will slow it down, because of the extra load. and you won't notice it(over the net), because modern ide harddisks transfer ~50 mb/s and the slug serves ~8-10 mb/s over it's network interface Jan 28 13:44:03 8-10mb/s ? Jan 28 13:44:14 didn't see that happening around here Jan 28 13:44:20 more like 3-4 MB/s Jan 28 13:44:34 depends on the protocol :) Jan 28 13:44:59 i know RAID1 (mirroring), but i was wondering how how much extra CPU this would eat. the little thing is doing a lot of work here on my LAN an has a problem with RAM Jan 28 13:46:09 EvilDevil: ftp should be quick right? Jan 28 13:46:55 bazz- i'm using nfs Jan 28 13:46:56 becol_be: you probably know it's underclocked by default, did you try removing the resistor? Jan 28 13:47:15 yes is turboslug, running LE debian Jan 28 13:47:39 bootstraps from slugos build from HEAD 10 days ago Jan 28 13:47:42 then i'd say solder some more ram in it :) Jan 28 13:47:49 becol_be i think raid1 doesn't eat up much ram... only the kernel-module. Jan 28 13:48:12 the shortage RAM is managable. for now. Jan 28 13:48:49 but i do run quite a few cron jobs, 2-3 people use it over Samba, so CPU load is high Jan 28 13:49:56 becol_be if you're using apache, try to decrease the amount of servers to be started by default:) Jan 28 13:50:09 lighttpd Jan 28 13:51:32 would be an option too :) Jan 28 13:52:08 i know mirroring doesn't require /much/ cpu resources, and it would help me sleep better at night, just wondering if someone here already has it up& running Jan 28 13:52:37 maybe the author of the wiki page? Jan 28 13:53:53 from the wiki page "succes stories" it seems several people already run RAIDs on their slug, so i guess it wouldn't be to bad Jan 28 13:56:01 thx for the replys anyways, i think i'm going to order an extra drive & enclosure before this one cr*ps out on me Jan 28 14:48:30 caplink811 :) Jan 28 22:46:47 slugs are silent beasts. Mine arrived this week. unslung or openslug? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jan 29 02:59:57 2006
