I have Debian Now what ?

it doesnt show up i only see the sd card still

i had it empty should i load it first i dont see it anywhere

doesn't show up where? For samba sharing you must do the same procedure as for you did it /mnt/sd

can u make me a script for the sd card and 4.5 gb of the 8gb flash drive please , its all for samba

Dude, you really need to start reading wiki and start understanding this stuff. Linux is not for everyone :) unless you are willing to learn. You already have a script, all you have to do just modify it. Once you start modifying you'll understand what you are doing. In the long run, it'll help you a lot so you'll know how easy it is.

i tryed that last night it didnt help me get the usb working

well, let's see what you did and started doing and we'll help you along the way.

Another option is to install Open Media Vault which is full GUI, it might be easier for you http://www.openmediavault.org/?page_id=1188

this is as far as i got added my flash drive

mkdir /mnt/sda2
chmod 777 /mnt/sda2
mount -t vext3 /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2

echo ' /dev/sda2 /mnt/usb vext3 user,noauto 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
echo '[global]
guest account = root
load printers = no
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE
wins server = 192.168.1.1
map to guest = Bad User
netbios name = PogoPlug
write cache size = 2097152
server string = PogoPlug
workgroup = WORKGROUP
os level = 20
use sendfile = yes
printcap name = /dev/null
security = user
disable spoolss = yes
#unprotected/public share without login
[sd]
path = /mnt/sda2
read only = no
public = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes' > /etc/samba/smb.conf


echo 'db_dir=/root/.minidlna
media_dir=/mnt/sd
inotify=yes
notify_interval=900
log_dir=/var/log' >> /etc/minidlna.conf

it didnt seem to do what it did for my sd card

i also want to know how to change my root user password its still stock
im near the end of my setup these last 2 things i think will be all i need to know for a long time

/etc/fstab file which takes the settings and creates automount at startup so you don't have mount manually.
>> means append. In other word if you append same text to the same file it'll create multiple copies of text.
> means delete everything within the file and add new text to it.

In order to edit the text you must type "nano" and then file

nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

nano /etc/fstab

nano /etc/minidlna.conf

In order to save the file press "CTRL X"

You can change your password by typing "passwd"

Once you change your settings you must restart the device or restart services suchas

service minidlna restart
service samba restart

It should be enough information for you to troubleshoot your problem and edit every configuration file which are probably messed up.

echo '/dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2' >> /etc/fstab
shutdown -r now
this command plus the password change made the pogoplug completely undetectable no ip

it's probably still restarting. Otherwise hard reboot it.

path = /mnt/sd
this is the line i think needs to be changed can i do this ?

path = /mnt/sd /mnt/sda2


Right now i have to do this everytime i turn it on

mkdir /mnt/sd
chmod 777 /mnt/sd
mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sd


echo '/dev/mmcblk0p1     /mnt/sd      vfat    user,noauto             0       0' >> /etc/fstab
echo '[global]
     guest account = root
     load printers = no
     socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE
     wins server = 192.168.1.1
     map to guest = Bad User
     netbios name = PogoPlug
     write cache size = 2097152
     server string = PogoPlug
     workgroup = WORKGROUP
     os level = 20
     use sendfile = yes
     printcap name = /dev/null
     security = user
     disable spoolss = yes
#unprotected/public share without login
[sd]
  path = /mnt/sd
  read only = no
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  guest ok = yes' > /etc/samba/smb.conf

echo 'db_dir=/root/.minidlna
media_dir=/mnt/sd
inotify=yes
notify_interval=900
log_dir=/var/log' >> /etc/minidlna.conf

service samba restart
service minidlna restart
service minidlna force-reload
update-rc.d minidlna defaults

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2

Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/08/2014 10:05AM by highsinberg.

MiniDLNA is looking for path where all the media files are located so you'd have to change it to media_dir=/mnt/sda2

nano /etc/minidlna.conf

edit the text and save it by pressing "CTRL + x"
You don't have to run the script all the time. you have to use editor nano to edit the file manually. MiniDLNA can't start because it's missing a folder so create the folder and restart minidlna

mkdir /root/.minidlna
service minidlna restart

You can also refresh the database

service minidlna force-reload

Now let's make a new configuration file smb.conf

chmod 777 /mnt/sd
mkdir /mnt/sda2
chmod 777 /mnt/sda2
echo '[global]
     guest account = root
     load printers = no
     socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE
     wins server = 192.168.1.1
     map to guest = Bad User
     netbios name = PogoPlug
     write cache size = 2097152
     server string = PogoPlug
     workgroup = WORKGROUP
     os level = 20
     use sendfile = yes
     printcap name = /dev/null
     security = user
     disable spoolss = yes
#unprotected/public share without login
[sd]
  path = /mnt/sd
  read only = no
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  guest ok = yes
[sda2]
  path = /mnt/sda2
  read only = no
  public = yes
  writable = yes
  guest ok = yes' > /etc/samba/smb.conf
service samba restart

Everything will be working if you did mount sda2. If not then add sda2 to /etc/fstab then restart. Make sure to add the line manually by editing the file, otherwise you'll mess up rootfs and won't be able to boot.

/dev/sda2      /mnt/sda2        ext3    defaults,noatime    0     2

It's got nothing to do with clean install. apt-get clean just cleans list of known packages from debian repo. In order to uninstall you have to
apt-get purge packagename

The reason it doesn't work because you are not using my directions which are very clear.

the usb share works perfect even on reboot just need to add the sd to fstab
how do i add sd to /etc/fstab it doesnt show up on a restart

is this it

/dev/mmcblk0p1     /mnt/sd      vfat    user,noauto             0       0

That's correct.
