Re: Can openwrt be installed to and boot from USB? - 2 years ago

An initramfs kernel doesn't need to support usb or ext4 in order to be booted from usb. It's the bootloader who reads it from usb, and starts it. However, if you need to access the usb filesystem from your running OpenWrt, you can create a custom image here: https://chef.libremesh.org/ You have to add at least kmod-fs-ext4 and kmod-usb-storage. More info can be found here. But be

No, it won't work. Point 5 will fail, as you'll first have to mount it. But it isn't necessary to use another rootfs, you can simply backup the running roofs: tar -cjf /path/to/backup_of_rootfs.tar.bz2 --one-file-system /

No. md0 is the first raid array. As it's assembled automatically, it's probably a single disk raid1 array. The mtd blocks normally don't show up in blkid as it's content is too low level to have an UUID. A possible fstab entry could be /dev/md0 /srv/nsa32 ext4 defaults 0 0

Re: My goflex home can't boot after kirkwood 5.16.5 upgrade - 2 years ago

Your uInitrd has grown too big. 0x1100000 + 11782486 = 0x1C3C956, so that overwrites the fdt on 0x1c00000. You can either create a smaller uInitrd, or change the loadaddress of fdt. (to 0x1D00000 or higher). And of course in the latter case you'll also have to change the boot command to meet the new load address.

Re: Syncthing on GoFlex Home - 3 years ago

VIRT is virtual memory, in this case that is basically only address space which is reserved. That address space does not have to be shared with other processes, as each process has it's own 4GiB of potential address space. RES (resident) is the actual amount of used memory (+ the size of the binaries in memory). You can detect a memory leak be watching the memory usage over time. If it k

Re: Zyxel NSA325v2 brick - 3 years ago

Really? How old was that installation? I'm a bit surprised that the command server apparently still works. As far as I could see there was no dns request, so the IP address is hardcoded. I wouldn't expect the command server to be longer than a few days on the same address. But who knows? The reverse dns of tcpdump says the IP address is www.khust.tv, which is Russian.

Armada: Setting persistent MAC address. - 3 years ago

The default Armada rootfs has a script /root/set_persistent_mac_address which is called from /etc/rc.local to read the MAC address of the NIC from u-boot environment, and set it to the NIC. Problem is that it is called after the networking is already up, which means the NAS first requests an IP address by DHCP on a random MAC address, and then another time using the 'real' MAC address,

Re: Zyxel NSA325v2 brick - 3 years ago

Ah thanks. The file has 'obfuscation' written on it. It has an invalid ELF header: $ file tty6 tty6: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI4 version 1 (GNU/Linux), too many section (65535) It has a very high entropy, it can hardly be compressed. So whatever it is, it's not pure executable code. My first guess was that it is mainly compressed code, and decompresses itself in memor

Where did you install them? By default Linux only looks in the directories listed in PATH (try 'echo ${PATH}'). If they are elsewhere, you have to specify the path. For instance, when they are in the current directory you can execute it by ./fw_printenv

@bohdi: Do you apply any patches to your kernel regarding power off? I've read linux-5.10.7-mvebu-370xp-tld-1.patch, but as far as I can see it only adds dts files, and a disk led driver. For some reason in OpenWrt I can switch off the box, but I can't switch it on again without powercycling. Tried in both 21.02.1 (Kernel 5.4.154) and master (5.10.90).

Re: Zyxel NSA325v2 brick - 3 years ago

Gnome is a bit heavy, for an 512MiB 500MHz Armv5, I think. But if you are running an Xserver on your client, you can run graphical programs on your NAS, having their in/output on your Xserver. All you have to do is install xauth (and your graphical program) apt install xauth x11-apps Now you can login to your box using ssh -X user@nsa325 and execute for instance xeyes in your shell.
