I'm getting the infamous "No enough HDD ready" error when trying to enable backups. I've read the backup fixit page howto but it's still not working Sep 12 17:50:00 my setup: unslung to disk 2 (ext3). NTFS drive for disk1 Sep 12 17:50:18 goal: enable backup from disk 2 -> disk 1 via the web interface Sep 12 17:50:52 it would seem cut-and-dried, but for the fact the howto is set up for disk1->disk2 Sep 12 17:54:47 You did edit the script to accomodate your reversed setup, right? If so, it might be that the Linksys firmware is testing something elsewhere and objecting (I don't know of anyone who's ever tried to reverse the two; in order to do that one must first violate the "two native drives requires unslinging to disk1" rule, and violating that causes other problems) Sep 12 17:55:51 In fact, now that I think of it, there is code in the updated script at the bottom of the wiki article that specifically requires that it be unslung to disk1 -- that might have to be redesigned, as the problem is that if you... Sep 12 17:56:13 ... have unslung to the wrong disk in a two-native setup, then you have your data on one disk, but your configuration files on the other... Sep 12 17:56:35 ... so a simple drive-to-drive copy won't work; it needs to copy some stuff one way, and the other stuff the other way. Sep 12 17:56:41 Complicated. Sep 12 17:58:35 i'm trying to get away with slug murder, mwester : I have an ext3 in disk2 that i'm unslung to, but my disk 1 is NTFS Sep 12 17:59:00 can i do that and hope to backup (one day i may need to add a usb hub to add more storage space so i unslung to 2) Sep 12 17:59:01 You can't do a drive to drive copy unless both are natively formatted. Sep 12 17:59:08 noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Sep 12 17:59:27 well, there's one problem Sep 12 17:59:43 Also, note that the Linksys NTFS driver is so buggy that it's not usable. It *will* (not *might*) crash or hang your slug on certain data transfers. Sep 12 17:59:45 crap. can i get away with an rsync script that i set up via the command line to run? Sep 12 17:59:50 Linksys has no solution for that problem. Sep 12 18:00:16 rsync may work, but you'll find that permissions, ownership, execute status, will all be reset. Sep 12 18:00:40 because of the different formatting. ntfs loses ext3's meta data. Sep 12 18:00:41 okay Sep 12 18:00:43 So if it works, it might be acceptable for raw data on a share, but it certainly won't work for operating system files. Sep 12 18:01:23 what a mess Sep 12 18:01:46 :) Yep. Sep 12 18:01:47 my goal is to have an itunes and file server that the data is backed up on Sep 12 18:02:04 You know, you could try it the way everyone else does it. Sep 12 18:02:28 the nail that sticks out gets hammered down? Sep 12 18:02:31 ouch Sep 12 18:02:32 I have a dual-drive slug running Unslung 6.8, that backs up from one drive to the other, and has itunes on it. Works fine. Sep 12 18:02:41 Currently running for (lemme see)... Sep 12 18:02:46 it's unslung to drive 1? Sep 12 18:03:06 18:02:06 up 326 days, Sep 12 18:03:17 Yes, unslung to drive 1 as recommended in the wiki :) Sep 12 18:03:46 Oh - the shutdown 326 days ago was to replace a failed UPS, the slug was running fine. Sep 12 18:03:47 is there a quick way i can unsling from 2 to 1 without losing data on the drive? Sep 12 18:06:58 Nothing is quick, but with effort it's certainly possible. Sep 12 18:07:48 i'm loathe to lose all the data i have on the ext3 volume i've unslung to (23 gigs). do i have to reformat "natively" after i re-unsling to drive1? Sep 12 18:07:54 Easiest, though, is just to reflash the NSLU2, and re-unsling to drive 1 instead. Sep 12 18:09:40 Do so without drive 2 (reformat it to NTFS or FAT somewhere), then plug in and format drive 2 on the NSLU2 after you have unslung. Then you'll be a known-good state, and can move forward from there. Sep 12 20:13:45 mwester: is there a link on the wiki that explains the directory tree for unslung? /home/[user name] doesn't seem to apply Sep 12 20:15:33 I'm a little nervous because /share/hdd/data/[user name] seems to match /[user name] Sep 12 20:28:03 because it is equal Sep 12 20:33:37 caplink811-log, :) Sep 12 20:37:12 hehe, hi docu guy, long time not read... how's life going? Sep 12 21:21:32 Hi guys, need some help here... Is it possible to connect another disk to a slug that already runs debian on one disk, and through that installation perform another debian installation on the new disk for another slug? Or would i mess something up? Cause my linux pc has crashed hard :S **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Sep 13 02:59:57 2007
