Problem w. changing USB Sticks

Postby ferenz » Sat Sep 17, 2011 4:04 pm

Hey there,
I installed succesfull archlinux on my Pink Pogoplug using a 1GB USB Stick.
Setting up minidlna, Samba and transmission took some time, but after some try and error everything was working. The only "issue" I had was when I set up a share as Network Drive in Windows Explorer, it only showed up as 1GB size. Generally this wouldn't be a big Problem, but when I came to copy big files, Windows refused to Copy even though the destination had more than enough capacity.

So I tried to change the "System USB Stick" to 4gig by simply going through the instruction (http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 ... 2-pinkgray) again. The final result is now I'm stuck at the login and don't get any further. It doesn't matter if I'm using my old stick or the new one, if I try to connect via SSH I get asked for my password (as before) but access is denied every time. Neither my old User nor root is accepted.
Root is not working with my new root Password or ceadmin or root.

short version
Basically what I want to do now is to kill the Box completely and reinstall everything from scratch. I got no idea how to start so if you got any hints or tips I would be grateful.
Before setting up Pogoplug I had very limited linux knowledge but I'm willing to learn. None of the topics I found here made me solve my Problem so please be gentle with a Newbie :)


In addition; if there is a solution for my network drive size problem and you know it, let me know :D

Thank you very much!

Ok, I'm in and re installing on the new Stick right now.
Password turned out to be my old my.pogoplug.com password.

Anyway, if you got an idea about the samba/windows size problem, I would be grateful :)

can't understand what is you issue.. if you stick a 1GB usb pen drive you'll have 1GB of avaiable space.. if you use a 4GB pen drive you'll have 4GB..

Sure. My Problem is, I made a network share on my connected 500gb drive. Theres plenty of free space.
When I want to copy something from windows to my Pogoplug share its working until the file or copy process is not larger than the free space on my USB stick, which is now about 3gb.

I think its more a samba related problem and I'm probably in the wrong forum. Maybe someone had the same problem before me or knows how to solve it :)

yes this is a samba related problem.. but if you want help you have to provide much more info about your situation.
are you sure that you are sharing a folder in you hard disk (500gb) and not in your pen drive (3gb)?
Attached pen drive is for archlinux system installation, External HD for media files.. correct?
please provide smb.conf, fstab, and "df -h" output.

Thank you for your reply!

Thats right. In total there are 2 HD Drives for media, etc. and the USB stick is for all the system stuff.

I am sorry.. WTF You're trying to mount them to where? `/` ???

If there's something wrong or completely stupid, feel free to enlighten me :-)
As I said I'm new in Pogo business and so I have to puzzle guides together and try and error.

Feel free to provide improvements, if there are any. Thank you! :-)

He was referring to you /etc/fstab file.. you can't try to mount your external HardDisk to '/'
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'U')UID=52BA7049BA702C1B / ntfs defaults 0 0
UUID=30CC25A5CC256676 / ntfs defaults 0 0

'/' is for system files and should have an entry in fstab:

here it's mine:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults 0 1
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda2 swap swap default 0 0
/dev/sda3 /home xfs noatime,logbufs=8,allocsize=128m 0 2
#')

I've only 1 hard disk with 3 partition:
/dev/sda1 is my root ext3 partition and it is mounted in '/'
/dev/sda2 is my swap partition and in fstab is marked as 'swap'
/dev/sda3 is my media partition, is XFS type and it is mounted in '/home'

If your external hard disk is always attached add a line in your fstab, but fix the directory in which to mount. This will mount the hard disk at boot-time.
If your external hard disk is attached only when needed and auto-mounted by udev (probably your situation), then remove that two lines in fstab. When plugged the hard disk is mounted in /media/HD_LABEL

Now I honestly don't know what consequences can those two lines in /etc/fstab have..
If external hard disk is connected when booting it CAN (not sure) be that you have actually mounted it on '/'
this should be a paradox that would create a black hole just inside your DockStar

I did a test, see:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@omega ~]# df
File system Tipo Dim. Usati Dispon. Uso% Montato su
/dev/root ext3 5,0G 1,1G 3,8G 22% /
/run tmpfs 10M 116K 9,9M 2% /run
udev tmpfs 10M 4,0K 10M 1% /dev
shm tmpfs 61M 0 61M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs tmpfs 61M 0 61M 0% /tmp
/dev/sda3 xfs 228G 24G 205G 11% /home
[root@omega ~]# umount /dev/sda3
[root@omega ~]# mount /dev/sda3 /
[root@omega ~]# df
File system Tipo Dim. Usati Dispon. Uso% Montato su
/dev/root ext3 5,0G 1,1G 3,8G 22% /
/run tmpfs 10M 116K 9,9M 2% /run
udev tmpfs 10M 4,0K 10M 1% /dev
shm tmpfs 61M 0 61M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs tmpfs 61M 0 61M 0% /tmp
/dev/sda3 xfs 5,0G 1,1G 3,8G 22% /
[root@omega ~]#')

as you can see /dev/sda3 has 205GB available, but when mounted on / has only 3,8GB..
This should answer your question..

The easiest solution honestly, is to label the partitions on the external drives, remove the entries from fstab, and let udev handle the mounting to /media/PARTITION_NAME via udev-automount.
