Re: I need a 70-persistent-net.rules file from a working squeeze install. - 14 years ago
You don't need eth0 in your persistent-net.rules. As suggested in this forum, to use the same Debian installed USB stick on another Dockstar, I've commented it out and then make sure that /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules does not have eth* on device white list (note the capital E): # device name whitelist KERNEL!="Eth*|ath*|wlan*[0-9]|msh*|ra*|sta*|ctc*|by bodhi - Debian

I believe the performance gained with samba using async mount will be substantial. I did not measure it, but it was visible enough when I looked.by bodhi - Debian

Re: Automount NTFS on Dockstar Debian - 14 years ago
In light of recent posting about auto-mounting, just want to update my experience using these udev rules and pmount script. Working great :-) This setup takes any USB drives I've swap in and out flawlessly, to the point I've stopped being aware about it. I've since modified the rules and the mouting script to perform auto-mounting for USB drives that need write-optimized performby bodhi - Debian

Re: Pogoplug Pro - 14 years ago
@thenktor So basically we can follow the same procedure at http://plugapps.com/index.php5/Install_on_Pogoplug_Pro and modify the oxnas-install.sh to use Debian uImage and root partition? If you have done that with ARMedSlack, can you share the modified script? Thanks!by bodhi - uBoot

I think the worst case is you'll still be able to run PlugLinux. I would love to run Debian because of the flexibility to add whatever you need to it.by bodhi - uBoot

Thanks for laying the procedure out very clearly. I'd wish it could be more automated like what Jeff did for the Dockstar.by bodhi - uBoot
Re: clone my USB ? - 14 years ago
If the USB 4GB stick is not the boot stick, then shrinking partition using parted (i.e. you would need to boot using a clone of that stick). However, a different way (not using USB Image Tools) is using Linux dd command to do it. In this example, the sda1 is 4GB and the sdb1 is 2GB, and they both formatted as ext2. After copying, you'll need to resize the filesystem (resize2fs resizes theby bodhi - Debian
Re: clone my USB ? - 14 years ago
I believe USB Image Tools allow you to do that while restoring a compressed/uncompressed image. As long as you know for sure it will fit into a smaller USB stick, it will work. I would use this tool and do an image backup, then use the compressed image to restore it to a smaller stick. Note that before you do that, the partition on the larger stick must be shrunk in advance (i.e. shrink the partby bodhi - Debian

Re: Kernel panic when adding 2nd USB storage - 14 years ago
Christian, that was just an idea as how we can put everything on one partition and avoid the complication of the USB drives moving around by the Dockstar. But I think you can find info regarding the USB drive scanning during boot in this thread. http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12,12#msg-12 Jeff explained how the UBoot installer configures this.by bodhi - Debian
Re: Kernel panic when adding 2nd USB storage - 14 years ago
Note that I mentioned "only the last few posts". I'd suggest if you use swap file instead of swap partition, then it does not matter where the swap file is (as long as it is at the root, i.e. name it /swapfile1 or /myswapfile or whatever name you've might chosen). This is my fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point&gby bodhi - Debian

I was also looking for similar suite. I don't think such unified suite is available.

With transmission we can use the browser to access it, and webdav would be also through a browser (locally or remotely), so at leby bodhi - Debian

Re: newbie installed debian, needs NAS - now what? - 14 years ago
codier, I would not worry about the driver yet. After you've installed CUPS, just go to your PC and add a network printer and select to Samsung model. If the Samsung driver does not exist on the PC, I think you only need to add that at the PC. If that does not work, then find the driver later. It did work for me without installing any extra driver with CUPS.by bodhi - Debian
