**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jul 08 02:59:59 2009 Jul 08 17:43:22 Bonjour, Hi, I am using mybrand new slug, with unslug and ubuntu 9.04. I try to access the shares I created. I though of accessing them with nfs but nfs is not included in ubuntu by default. Is it still a good idea to use nfs on the slug to share the folders ? Jul 08 17:54:29 Should I use ssh for sharing ? (proposed by ubuntu as a standard method) I though it was just a kind of telnet... Jul 08 17:55:01 I wouldn't use ssh Jul 08 17:55:09 ssh is encrypted and consumes more CPU Jul 08 17:55:24 And a slug isn't exactly that fast to begin with :) Jul 08 17:55:47 yep, that's what I thought Jul 08 17:55:56 should I use nfs then, or what ? Jul 08 17:56:02 nfs or samba Jul 08 17:56:12 I read that Samba is slower Jul 08 17:56:17 samba if you want user accounts and passwords Jul 08 17:56:58 I am kind of lost right now.... Jul 08 17:57:22 What you are you using ? Jul 08 17:57:28 samba Jul 08 17:57:45 What kind of transfer speed to do get ? Jul 08 17:57:54 3 megabytes per second max Jul 08 17:58:24 I read somwhere that with nfs, it should go to 5 MB/s Jul 08 17:58:33 could be, I haven't tried Jul 08 17:58:41 sounds a bit optimistic really Jul 08 17:59:08 I read that at least on two different websites Jul 08 17:59:25 they probably copied eachother Jul 08 17:59:36 maybe Jul 08 18:00:16 If I just want to share files, there is no need to use debian or other firmware right ? Unlsug should be enough Jul 08 18:00:36 yeah Jul 08 18:01:08 Taht's what I think. It seems that people want to put more stuff in this than what it can really handle. Jul 08 18:01:21 heh Jul 08 18:01:31 SlugOS is my favourite Jul 08 18:01:46 though it has no web interface like unslung and you have to do everything yourself Jul 08 18:01:54 for the minimalists/masochists Jul 08 18:01:59 What does it bring more ? Jul 08 18:02:38 it brings a 21st century kernel and leaves behind it many linksys peculiarities and bugs :P Jul 08 18:03:15 I would agree with the minimalist, but not with the masochist stuff Jul 08 18:03:22 the kernel probably only matters if you want to attach USB hubs and similar :) Jul 08 18:04:36 masochist in the sense that you need to install and setup all software yourself manually Jul 08 18:04:37 Well, I have no real linux background. I set myself as a USER (experienced now as it is almost 5 years now) Jul 08 18:04:39 it doesn't come with much Jul 08 18:05:18 Well thanks for the chat. Diner's ready here and I don't want to upset my wife. Jul 08 18:05:51 THANKS for yur help. I was feeling really lonely for a time. Jul 08 18:06:10 heh :) Jul 08 19:19:30 Hi, I plan to install slugos but I have no idea how to create the shares manually. Where can I find information on this subject ? Jul 08 19:56:56 I finlly found stuff Jul 08 20:27:57 Question, on unslung I would like to choose the userid when I create a user (in order to use the rights through nfs). Any idea ? Jul 08 21:47:24 hello Jul 08 21:48:07 once i have flashed can i log as root and enable some swap prior to install ? Jul 08 21:51:49 flashed what? Jul 08 21:52:15 my nslu2 Jul 08 21:52:33 with the debian installer Jul 08 21:52:34 yes, but with what firmware? Jul 08 21:52:39 Oh. Jul 08 21:52:50 Can't help you with debian, I don't do debian. Sorry. Jul 08 21:55:30 hat is different usb 1 and usb 2 on the device ? Jul 08 21:57:15 i mean there are 2 usb port are there major difference between the too Jul 08 21:59:07 No difference at all. Jul 08 22:00:17 Only the original Linksys software treats them differently, and that requires custom linksys patches to do it -- no other firmware does that. Jul 08 22:01:45 ok flashing a firmware can i damage to the point where i can not reflash anymore ? . or red boot is save Jul 08 22:02:18 safe i meant Jul 08 22:11:42 As long as you use the "upslug2" program to do the flashing, and DO NOT USE LINKSYS' ERASEALL, all will be well. (Sorry for shouting, but one cannot emphasize how evil the "Eraseall" program is...) Jul 08 22:12:03 (The Windows "ugutil" program is safe as well) Jul 08 22:12:29 ok good Jul 08 22:12:43 i feel a litle better Jul 08 22:13:56 i have been using upslug2 Jul 08 22:14:39 and i will continue even if seting up the network on my linux wasn't the most fun part of it **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jul 09 02:59:56 2009
