Okay, so problem is solved..

What did i do? I grabbed a random USB key [8GB], and re-installed everything. Right after the install i updated the packages, followed http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3775, installed samba, and upgraded the kernel. Reboot, and mounted the network drive with mount.cifs command. Voila.

Weird. I wonder, if its bc of glibc ? Or my USB Key? But i ain't complaining .. However, i just lost one of my 8GB USB drive

One thing: How do you recommend partitioning this 8GB drive. Now, i believe the whole thing is EXT2. Do you recommend partitioning differently like ext2 for /boot, and ext4 for the rest.. But what about anything else?

EDIT: Thank you very much for helping me out, and hanging in there with me guys.. I greatly appreciate it .

It depends how do you plan using it. I partitioned my 4Gb stick like this:

2Gb EXT2 ArchLinux Kirkwood, 256 MB SWAP, the rest is VFAT where miniDLNA DB and other Linux package data is stored. Proper memory block alignment can speed up your thumb 2-3 times as well. I have also large Media Storage HDs hooked to the Plug.

SWAP ON FLASH BAD.

Also, use a file.
