<br>The mount command can mount a filesystem by either UUID or label. If

I got sidetracked by the nslu2-linux.org web site's AddAPackageToOptware page. Once I got onto the the OE track I was much better off! For the record I did the following:
<br><br>1. Span up a Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10) server on some slightly older hardware as this appears to be one the best platforms for this.
<br><br>2. Installed the openembedded-common and openembedded-minimal packages using aptitude. These added another 190 or so packages missing from the basic build
<br><br>3. As a normal user(!) ran oe-setup-minimal. This pulls / updates the git repositiries etc, sets the environment variables correctly and then starts a new shell. This step needs to be run each time you want to develop.
<br><br>4. Created ~/.oe.conf with
<br><br>MACHINE="nslu2be"
<br>DISTRO="slugos"
<br><br>For Bigendian slugos.
<br><br>5. Did 'bitbake meta-toolchain-slugos' and left it running for a day or so, after which, hey presto a nice clean build system that created SlugOS5BE compatible binaries.
<br><br>The only minor issue was it created Debian packages rooted in / and not /opt. Anyone know how to tweak the install root to /usr/local

<br><br>Tried a newly formatted NTFS disk in the new USB box. The only way it would work was if I removed the unslung stick and booted from ROM. After a lot of hours experimenting and much swearing, the only solution was to connect the disk to another machine and format it to ext3 and when connected to the slug it has to be mounted manually (port 1) as sda1. I have the unslung stick sharing port 2 with the printer via a hub. The new disk shows up in the web server as unformatted, but it's now working fine as a scp backup drive.
<br><br>So it's a mystery.

<br>> Posted by: "dnabble" <a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=26200183&i=0" target="_top" rel="nofollow">david.nelson.wi@...</a> cnczane
<br>> Date: Wed Oct 28, 2009 4:45 am ((PDT))
<br>>
<br>>
<br>> I bought a "new" (but alas discontinued) NSLU2, a pair of 1.5T internal eSATA
<br>> drives, and a pair of "almost" matching BlackX HDD USB/eSATA "docking
<br>> stations."
<br>>
<br>> Not so prominently printed on the BlackX boxes, is the phrase: "SUPPORT UP
<br>> TO 1TB (1,000GB) H.D.D."
<br>>
<br>> Rats!!
<br>>
<br>> Nevertheless, I decided to try, and went ahead with formatting, figuring to
<br>> see an error message, signaling failure.
<br>>
<br>> Formats appeared to succeed, as did unslinging (SlugOS/LE), as did rsyncing,
<br>> for a time, and therein lies a tale.
<br>>
<br>> As the drive filled up, the rsync process would hang inexplicably, and hang
<br>> the slug: all and any terminal sessions would become unresponsive and new
<br>> ssh requests ignored.
<br>>
<br>> Reboots always solved the problem, and always the slug was good for whatever
<br>> you wanted, which seems to suggest overheating was not the problem. In fact
<br>> the hanging was always associated with an rsync copying more files inbound.
<br>>
<br>> I was worried at first that, for the first time (in 4 slugs), the
<br>> over-clocking to 266 MHz had bit me, but (see overheating consideration
<br>> above) the hanging should have been random and not so connected with rsync.
<br>>
<br>> The mystifier was that (1) rsync would hang during a large (1GB) file
<br>> transfer, (2) reboot, (3) rsync might appear to complete that file transfer
<br>> and hang during an ensuing one. The disk "fill" was at around 80% as I
<br>> recall.
<br>>
<br>> The problem also MIGHT have been related to my use of a 32MB "swapfile"
<br>> instead of a larger, and real-er, swap "partition." (SlugOS/LE is smart
<br>> enough managing memory to be able to get by with a smallish swapfile, in my
<br>> understanding. [See "Install and Turnup SlugOS" at www.nslu2-linux.org]
<br>>
<br>> At any rate, my solution:
<br>> Decide to live within the means of the BlackX docking stations and partition
<br>> the drive with TWO sizable data partitions (91000 blocks) and a THIRD
<br>> remainder swap partition (400 blocks).
<br>>
<br>> So far, I filled the first data partition to 82%, and have started the
<br>> second. The acid test will come when that 2nd data partition hits around
<br>> 80-90%, but the NSLU2 hasn't so much as burped. IF CPU or disk were

<br>
<br>It could also be a coil or choke that causes the sound if there are any
<br>DC/DC converters inside the NSLU? I don't have the schematics at hand right
<br>now to check. Changing amplitude/pitch with varying would make sense in that

<br>Ämne: Re: [nslu2-general] NSLU is making high frequency noise
<br><br><br>
<br><br>Hi,
<br><br>> I just bought an aftermarket nslu, and turns out, it makes a bad high
<br>pitched whine. It gets worse, when i connect the lan cable,
<br>> and even worse when there's 2 usb drives connected.
<br>> When under load, the frequency seems to be constantly changing, so when
<br>listening closely, it sounds like smth is creaking inside..
<br>> As much as i have tried to hear it, i just can't figure out, which
<br>internal component actually produces it.
<br>> It can't be the power supply's fault, since it makes the same noise when
<br>powered only by usb-hdd (from powered hub).
<br>>
<br>> As far as i have read, nslu's should be dead silent, right?
<br>>
<br>> According to power switching schematic's from nslu2-linux.org, C160 and
<br>168 caps are actually responsible for removing the high
<br>> freq's.
<br>> Maybe i should try to replace these?
<br>> Any more ideas?
<br><br>yes, broken caps can be responsible for this noise.
<br>try to replace all "big" electrolytic capacitor.

<br><br>I wrote several new guides about Debian on the Linksys NSLU2 this
<br>weekend. The new guides cover the following topics:
<br> - Troubleshooting: common problems and their solutions
<br> - Internals about the boot process of Debian on the NSLU2
<br> - Modifying a NSLU2 firmware image
<br> - Cloning a NSLU2
<br> - Migration guide: how to move your Debian installation from your
<br> NSLU2 to a SheevaPlug.
<br><br>You can find this documentation at <a href="http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/</a><br><br>I believe my NSLU2 web page now covers everything Debian users need
<br>to know about the NSLU2. While I'll continue to maintain and update
<br>this information, I don't expect to make major additions. Instead,
<br>I'll focus my attention on the SheevaPlug (a great replacement for
<br>the NSLU2) and other devices, such as NAS devices from QNAP.
<br><br>If you have any feedback for the existing documentation or feel that
<br>something is not yet properly explained or documented, please let me
<br>know.
<br><br>Also, please remember that this nslu2-linux list should not be used
<br>for Debian related questions. Instead, use <a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=26171857&i=0" target="_top" rel="nofollow">debian-arm@...</a>

<br><br>Could it be the beeper? I purchased a NOS NSLU2 off ebay, and it works fine except for a high pitch noise that like yours varies by what is plugged into the NSLU. I have concluded by pressing on various components while the NSLU2 was operating that in my case at least, it is the beeper.

<br><br>Now I switched from busybox's less to optware's less.
<br>Also, I export PAGER=/opt/bin/less
<br>(even if "opkg install less" does something to bend less to the new one).
<br><br>The problem doesn't disappear. Same as before.
<br>"ncurses" is installed, but "ncursesw" isn't - and can't.
<br>As far as I can see, it doesn't exist in ipkg nor opkg.
<br><br>Thus, I changed in /opt/etc/man.con the line with "GROFF".
<br>Just added "-c" to it, as told in
<br><<a href="http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00552.html" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00552.html</a>>

<br><br>This made man working only in black and grey letters on white background,
<br>but - it's okay! Let's say "WORKSFORME".
<br><br>Thank you all for friendly assistance!!!
<br><br>BTW:
<br>If we want to try out, why opkg less didn't fixed it ... let's talk further.
