need to rescue my goflex hime

[dmdelorme]

In my great wisdom i changed a line in my fstab to allow me to cheak the drive well it wont boot now I need to know how to rescue it now ie get a shell and change my fstab back?

[WarheadsSE]

Attach the drive to a linux computer (live CD/USB or VM works) and edit the file.

[dmdelorme]

How do i connect it???

[WarheadsSE]

It's a SATA drive, is it not? Maybe a GoFlex USB attachment, or attach SATA data & power?

[dmdelorme]

I have a lap top so i guess i will see if i can get a sata to usb conector. I need to set this up anyway since the mount count was though the roof ie 500+ and i need to do mantainace on it. Linux is no problem i have a MS free home.

WELL IT IS FIXED...... woohoo
I used a sata to usb adaptor Nextstar i had to remove the drive from the plastic case to work with it but no big deal.
lessons i learned dont assume that some ones instruction as are correct ask questions??
when changing permissions on a dir in this case my media server directories make sure you can browse them.
i was unable to play media because it did not have the appropriate permissions to browse the Dir.
things i would like to solve...
faster NFS transfer rates i am stuck at 12 to 16 mbs though my 3oo mb wifi connection

Mode: Master | SSID: OpenWrt5g
BSSID: ff:uu:cc:kk:uu:00 | Encryption: WPA PSK (TKIP, CCMP)
Channel: 149 (5.745 GHz) | Tx-Power: 17 dBm
Signal: -51 dBm | Noise: -95 dBm
Bit Rate: 240.0 MBit/s | Country: CA

what are other people getting with the same device for transfer rates how can i improve this...

[WarheadsSE]

16MB/s or 16mb/s ? 300mbps = 37MBps max theoretical, before overhead, etc. with ideal speeds at both ends, including disk transfers. Remember there is only 128M RAM in the device too. This is NFS, right?

[dmdelorme]

Ohh ok i guess i am squeezing all i can out of this little system. yes it is NFS with an ext3 file system.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'david@solaris:~$ time dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/david/nfsdownloads/testfile bs=64K count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
65536000 bytes (66 MB) copied, 4.31369 s, 15.2 MB/s

real 0m4.405s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.072s
')

it seems i get no change by using 1000mb lan port with my laptop

[moonman]

18MB/s is maximum theoretical throughput over wireless with @300Mb/s (or 16.85MB/s @270Mb/s connection) as wireless is half duplex. What you are getting is great actually. I get 12-13 MB/s over 5GHz band with no other 5GHz routers in range.

[dmdelorme]

thanks Moonman I will stop obsessing about transfer rates.
