Pogo E02 Mount Cifs Problem

[karog]

@erkerb, fyi, I have an E02 with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# uname -a
Linux e02 3.1.10-13-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Mon Aug 20 15:46:18 UTC 2012 armv5tel GNU/Linux
')
up-to-date as of this evening. I do have cifs-utils 5.6-2 installed which probably came in with samba et al which you stated you installed as well.

I can mount a WIndows 7 share with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
mount //ipaddr/share /mnt/point -o username=thename,password=thepassword')
In fstab, I also include the option _netdev.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')root@alarm fs]# ls -l /usr/lib/modules/3.5.3-1-ARCH/kernel/fs | grep cifs
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 8 2012 cifs

Keep in mind though, weak Plug's CPU works very hard when writing to NTFS shares. So if you want to write large or multiple files to a Windows PC's HD, you're a lot better off performing it in Windows after mounting your Plug's Samba shares in it, as in that case Plug's CPU just reads the data. Even if you write data back to the Plug's HD, let Windows PC CPU do part of the job. Check Plug's CPU load with Htop.

[erkerb]

My main goal is actually pretty simple.. Install Crashplan, mount one windows share as read-only, and just backup bi-weekly. This little pogo will not write once to Windows Share.. IT will just read, and write it to an external drive, which will be plugged in and formatted as ext2 ..

[sambul13]

Large regular backups can heat up the Pogo to death, unless incremental. You better format your USB drive in EXT4 to drop CPU load.

[erkerb]

Hmm.. I thought it was recommended to use EXT2 for anything plugged into Pogo. I will format the externalHD as ext4 then. Crashplan backs up incrementally, so there is no issue there.. If i get that far, hopefully i will set it to backup Monday and Thurs. IF the little guy gets heated up, i'll try to crack it open, and place a heatsink in there .. But i have to get to that stage first

[karog]

You cannot boot off ext4; uImage has to be on ext2. But ext4 is fine for everything else. I have a small ext2 partition for /boot and my rootfs is on ext4. A non-O/S data partition can happily be ext4. Just make sure that if you ever want to mount that partition elsewhere that that place can also handle ext4.

[sambul13]

UFS Explorer can read and copy data from most Linux FSs in Windows if a drive is hooked directly, but can't write to. Samba and NFS also make copying btw different FSs transparent.

I've enabled debugging as you have pointed out, and here is the output:

What changes did you make to which syslog-ng filters? Where is the log for your Cifs module load & partition mount attempt?
