[SOLVED] access USB with fat32 via "NAS" on Linksys WRT160NL wireless

Hey,
Today I bought a WRT160NL router, which has a USB-port to connect a network drive.
I placed a USB stick in it that is formatted as FAT32.
Following the manual, you should connect to the shared folder on this "drive" by entering the server-name (or Ip-address) of the server in the address-bar of your window-explorer.
Now since i'm in Arch, that's a little bit difficult for me.
How can I do this ?
I tried to mount it:
mount -t vfat :xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ /home/linksys
special device :xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ does not exist
I tried mount.cifs:
mount.cifs //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ /home/linksys -o user=xxxxxx,pass=xxxxxx
=>retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
Am I going at it the wrong way ? do I need to activate server deamons/programs ? is there another way to do this ?
Please bear with me, I'm totally new to anything relating to NAS and servers...
Thanks for the help!

The WRT160N is running embedded linux and utilizes a Samba server. It doesn't matter how the drive you connect to the WRT160N is formatted as long as you use a format it supports. It will then export the the disk using the CIFS (SMB) protocol, that you can access using client software.
See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba section for accessing Samba shares. There are many ways to access the shares so pick the one that works for you.
a very useful info command is:
smbclient -L \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
add the '-N' option to perform the query anonymously

Known problems or limits regarding accessing BDB with Java via JNI

Hi,
we are currently in an evalutation phase and are planning to use BDB (C|JE) as back-end for a queueing system. This system is written in Java. One key requirement is high availability of the data hold in the back-end. We need the guarantee, that no data is lost, e.g. data added after checkpoints. The throughput is expected to be quite high (> 10.000.000 records hold within one single BDB-environment (we would use n parallel BDB-envs inside the service).
So i'm wondering about using JE or DB... The former doesn't provide a replication system but is a 100%-pure Java implementation, the latter is written in C and accessed via JNI, which adds some overhead and maybe instability issues but comes with an integrated replication system. JE would require us to develop an in-application replication system or to use a DFS for HA or something like that.
Are there any known issues regarding using DB with Java via JNI? Or any other hints?
TIA,
Dirk

Silly me, I forgot to mention that a null return value means that an exception was thrown so you should get that and print the value (although I suspect it will be "class not found").

Accessing USB with unresponsive screen?

My screen on my PRE has stopped working. I can still view the screen, but touch has completely stopped functioning. I have received a replacement from Sprint, but I need to get some pictures off of the PRE. I can plug phone into USB and I get the menu for Media Sync, USB drive, and Just Charge. I cant press the screen to select USB. I can press the round button on the screen and it shows the PRE charging. Anyone have a way to put the PRE in USB mode in order to access my files? Or if there is another way to get my pictures off?
Thanks

[Solved] Unbootable USB with both BIOS and UEFI setup

I'm installing Arch to a USB flash drive to be bootable across a wide-range of computers (like the Arch ISO for USB) - both with legacy BIOS and with UEFI support (32bit instead of 64bit for greatest compatibility). I've installed Arch successfully and everything with it works fine.
To get the flash drive to bootup on legacy BIOS systems, I've installed Grub. This went without a hitch and this boots up on every legacy BIOS machine I've tried.
However, I cannot for the life of me get UEFI working. I only have one UEFI-enabled machine to test on. I've tied settings up both Gummiboot and Grub for UEFI support and they both seem to get to the same place. I get their boot entries to show up in the UEFI's boot up menu, but it boots the UEFI installation already present on the system (another Arch installation). If I remove the UEFI entry for the Arch installation on the machine, it lists the flash drive in the boot-up menu but clicking on it tells me that there were no bootable mediums found. So I'm guessing there is a configuration error somewhere.
The Arch ISO disk boots up successfully over UEFI on the machine without a hitch. SafeBoot is disabled on the UEFI machine machine. The UEFI machine has a working UEFI Arch installation by Grub2 which works fine - I setup the flash drive pretty much the same was as detailed below but it doesn't work.
Here is my setup:
Disk /dev/sda: 57.9 GiB, 62176362496 bytes, 121438208 sectors

It is a GPT formatted flash drive, with an EFI partition, a BIOS Boot partition (for Grub) and finally a LUKS encrypted file system. (I have also tried the system without LUKS and I still get the same results as above).

I have to copy grubia32.efi to bootx64.efi so my UEFI system detects the flash drive.
I have done all of these steps on a BIOS machine, and a UEFI machine, both with the same results. The machine recognizes the flash drive in the bootup menu and lists it as an option to boot from, but it tells me no bootable device was found. I don't care which method I need to use to get the flash drive to bootup over UEFI, gummiboot or Grub, I'm just trying to get it to work.

It sounds like you are on the right track. I got it to work using a similar method. Here is my setup: 16GB USB 2.0 Corsair Voyager.
gdisk -l /dev/sdb
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.0
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present

Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 31950686
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB)

2 206848 616447 200.0 MiB EF00 EFI System
3 616448 31950686 14.9 GiB 8300 Linux filesystem
As you can see, I made 3 partitions on a GPT labeled USB stick. You need to format the EF00 and 8300 partitions:
mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb2
mke2fs -t ext4 -L isofiles /dev/sdb3
"isofiles" is the label I used for the ext4 partition. You can change this. Now install Grub for EFI on the ESP partition:
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/boot
grub-install --target x86_64-efi --efi-directory /mnt --boot-directory /mnt/boot --removable
Place your grub.cfg file in /mnt/EFI/BOOT.
Install GRUB for legacy BIOS on the bios_boot partition:
umount /mnt
mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt
mkdir -p /mnt/boot
grub-install --no-floppy --target i386-pc --boot-directory /mnt/boot /dev/sdb
Place your grub.cfg file in /mnt/boot/grub. On some systems, it is /mnt/boot/grub2.
Copy all of your ISO files, e.g., arch, gparted, clonzilla, etc, to the ext4 partition. you will need the UUID of the ext4 partition:
blkid /dev/sdb3
This is because we are using a UUID search method to find the ISO's before loop mounting them. You can obtain the grub menu entries for various distros here. I used the following grub.cfg to boot arch and gparted in EFI mode:
set default="0"
function load_video {
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
insmod video_bochs
insmod video_fb
insmod video_cirrus
insmod all_video
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
set timeout=10
submenu 'GParted -->' {
set default="1"
set isofile='/gparted-live-0.22.0-1-amd64.iso'
menuentry 'GParted -- default settings' --class gparted --class gnu-linux --class os {

initrdefi /arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img
The legacy grub.cfg file is identical to the above, except that you use "linux" and "initrd" instead of "linuxefi" and "intrdefi". Note that unfortunately you have to use two grub.cfg file, one for UEFI and the other for legacy placed in the locations described above. However, they are very similar.
When you boot the machine, if it is an ASUS board, let's assume, press F8 during POST. You should see "Corsair - UEFI" and "Corsair". They should both work. Good Luck.

USB Disk via USB Hub or Ethernet NAS Connection More Reliable?

This is a rather techical question that calls for an opinion.
I want to centralize backups for my daughter, wife and myself. I'm going to add the latest model Airport Extreme Base Station as both an internet access point (from my cable modem) and as a wireless router to hard drive storage. I know there are cheaper (and probably faster) wireless routers; however, I've used various models of airport base stations over the years with my cable modem and they have all worked flawlessly and never need rebooting.
My two choices: 1) Connect a 4-port, powered USB hub to the usb connection on the Airport Extreme and use a pair of 3GB hard drives--one for primary backup and the second for the backup of the backup. 2) Use a QNAP TS110 or TS112 NAS device and connect it to the Base Station via gigabit ethernet. Then, an external USB drive would be connected to the QNAP NAS device. I've encountered QNAP NAS products in my work life and have been incredibly impressed with them--reliable, very low power requirements, reasonably easy setup via Web browser.
Choice 1 will be about $125 less expensive than Choice 2. I'll have to use the Linux Ext3 or 4 partition map for both drives under Choice 2 but the external USB volume can be formatted in Mac HFS+. Choice 2 will be theoretically faster because of the gigabit ethernet connection (probably irrelevant because of the slow wireless n throughput) but the QNAP device can be set to do automated backups to the USB drive that would be connected to it. That's nice.
My question: Based on what I've read over the years about connecting USB disks to an Airport Extreme base station, I have the opinion that an ethernet connection to an NAS device may be more reliable (ie, the client computers don't drop the connection to the hard drive as often). Maybe I'm wrong about that. I would like an opinion.
Also, I know how slow the real throughput will be as a result of clients connecting via wireless n. In real life, with decent quality connections, I'll be looking at 10MB to 12MB per second max. The first backups will take days; however, subsequent incremental backups will be much faster. I don't plan to use Time Machine, but rather to use Carbon Copy Cloner to make backups to read/write sparse disk image bundles (CCC won't do regular backups to networked drives). I tried Time Machine a while back but would rather have access to actual files as as a complete disk image that would be bootable when written back to a drive. Call me old-fashioned, but that's me. I also have two other bootable backups on 2.5" external drives--one that stays with me and another is always at my work place. Also, I'm not interested in a Time Capsule because I don't think their reliability is all that great (bad design with too much heat buildup).
Thanks for any insights you can offer.

I meant to say 3TB drives, not 3GB.

IMac with 2 user accounts & access to a external HDD/NAS

Hi there,
I'm about to put all my video (perhaps also my iTunes music library) onto an external drive. I'm still toying with a 2TB NAS or a 2TB USB or FW drive, but one thing has crossed my mind:
If I had an HDD attached to my iMac, does it matter which user is logged into the iMac? If I want to access content that is on the HDD from another networked device in the house (such as a media player under my TV) will that device be able to see the HDD if my wife is logged in to the Mac?
I presume a NAS doesn't have the issue as it's not thethered to a computer.
Thanks

Do a get info on the backup drive. Open up the Sharing & Permissions section if necessary. Unlock the drive permissions by clicking on the lock icon. Input admin password etc. If you are not already listed as having read/write access to the drive, do that now (add your account name if necessary with the plus button). Now click on the gear icon and select "Apply to enclosed items..." Relock the drive permissions by clicking on the lock icon. You should be good to go now.

Unable to access gateway and DNS via VPN (L2TP) with Snow Leopard Server

Summary:
After rebooting my VPN server, i am able to establish a VPN (L2TP) connection from outside my private network. I am able to connect (ping, SSH, …) the gateway only until the first client disconnects. Then i can perfectly access all the other computers of the private network, but i cannot access the private IP address of the gateway.
Additionally, during my first VPN connection, my DNS server, which is on the same server, is not working properly with VPN. I can access it with the public IP address of my gateway. I can access it from inside my private network. A port scan indicates me that the port 53 is open, but a dig returns me a timeout.
Configuration:
Cluster of 19 Xserve3.1 - Snow Leopard Server 10.6.2
Private network 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -> domain name: cluster
-> 1 controller, which act as a gateway for the cluster private network, with the following services activated:
DHCP, DNS, firewall (allowing all incoming traffic for each groups for test purposes), NAT, VPN, OpenDirectory, web, software update, AFP, NFS and Xgrid controller.
en0: fixed public IP address -> controller.example.com
en1: 192.168.1.254 -> controller.cluster
-> 18 agents with AFP and Xgrid agent activated:
en1: 192.168.1.x -> nodex.cluster with x between 1 and 18
VPN (L2TP) server distributes IP addresses between 192.168.1.201 and 192.168.1.210 (-> vpn1.cluster to vpn10.cluster). Client informations contain the private network DNS server informations (192.168.1.254, search domain: cluster).
_*Detailed problem description:*_
After rebooting the Xserve, my VPN server works fine except for the DNS. My client receives the correct informations:
Configure IPv4: Using PPP
IPv4 address: 192.168.1.201
Subnet Mask:
Router: 192.168.1.254
DNS: 192.168.1.254
Search domain: cluster
From my VPN client, i can ping all the Xserve of my cluster (192.168.1.1 to 18 and 192.168.1.254). If i have a look in Server Admin > Settings > Network, i have three interfaces listed: en0, en1 and ppp0 of family IPv4 with address 192.168.1.254 and DNS name controller.cluster.
The DNS server returns me timeouts when i try to do a dig from my VPN client even if i am able to access it directly from a computer inside or outside my private network.
After i disconnect, i can see in Server Admin that the IP address of my ppp0 interface has switch to my public IP address.
Then i can always establish a VPN (L2TP) connection, but the client receives the following informations:
Configure IPv4: Using PPP
IPv4 address: 192.168.1.202
Subnet Mask:
Router: (Public IP address of my VPN server)
DNS: 192.168.1.254
Search domain: cluster
From my VPN client, i can access all the other computers of my network (192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.18) but when i ping my gateway (192.168.1.254), it returns me timeouts.
I have two "lazy" solutions to this problem: 1) Configure VPN and DNS servers on two differents Xserve, 2) Put the public IP address of my gateway as DNS server address, but none of these solutions are acceptable for me…
Any help is welcome!!!

I would suggest taking a look at:
server admin:vpn:settings:client information:network route definitions.
as I understand your setup it should be something like
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 private.
at least as a start. I just got done troubleshooting a similar issue but via two subnets:

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

Can I sync Mail via USB with my PowerBook?

I have a new iPhone 4S and a PowerBook G4 17" with 2 GB of RAM that is in mint condition. I understand that I won't get e-mail from a Mail account directly on my PowerBook once I convert from MobileMe to iCloud, unless Apple or a third party develops an "app for that". No way do I want to buy a whole new Mac just for iCloud. Given the ability to sync music and photos between iPhone and PowerBook right now via the USB cord for my iPhone, can I also sync my Mail via USB if I upgrade to iCloud on my iPhone?

You may sync your mac with iPhone via iTunes, as always with iPhones, check whether version is compatible with last iOS. Then your iPhone may sync with iCloud. I still have a 12 in PB made in 2004, it works fine with my iPhone, just it is older, the first iPhone on the market, it sill works fine, no need to replace it.
Before testing anything, backyp your data, just in case you make a mistake, always do that.

Right click on your device under Portable devices and click on Uninstall and when the uninstaller box pop ups select delete the driver and click OK. Now click on Scan for hardware changes on top of the page and see if you get apple mobile device support driver under USB Devices and if not then disconnect your device from the computer and try to connect it to a different USB port and check also open control panel and select Apple Mobile Device Support from the List and Click on Repair and check. If still the device is not showing under USB then uninstall the following services from your computer.
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if unable to uninstall ignore and move to next)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Restart your computer once after the uninstallation is completed and then download latest version of iTunes from http://WWW.apple.com/iTunes/download
Locate the iTunes setup file and right click the file and run the installation file as Administrator and let the installation complete.
Then check if your device gets deteced in iTunes and if still the device is not detecting in itunes then go to device manager and see under Usb if you can see Apple Mobile Device Support Driver and continue with the step. 5 of above given link in my previous post. And if still thedevice is not showing under USB then right click on your device under potable device and click update driver and first check for updates automatically and see under USB if you see the driver now and if not then go back to device under portable device select update driver, let me choose driver from the list, Have disk, browse file in the following location " C://Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support/Drivers and select usbaapl file and install the same (if you can't find the driver on above location then look for the driver in Program Files(x86) instead of Program files and if you can't find usbaapl then look for usbaapl64 and complete the installation and then restart the computer and check if your device get recognized in iTunes.

I attached a Western Digital USB Drive to the USB-Post of my Sun Blade 2000 running Solaris 9. It is detected immediately:
iostat -En< ... snip SCSI & DVD drives ... >
c3t0d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: WDC Product: WD2500JB0104153 Revision: Serial No: Size: 250.06GB <250059350016 bytes>
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 0 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0
The drive can be formatted (takes ages) and UFS set up and it runs fine with that. But the goal is to have it running with FAT32 for data exchange with other systems. If it is formated FAT32 with Windows it cannot be mounted using for example
mount -F pcfs dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2 /mnt
mount -F pcfs dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2:1 /mnt
mount -F pcfs dev/dsk/c3t0d0sX:Y /mntetc. with variing numbers for X and Y!
The error message always is equivalent to (I can't recall the exact words): no valid DOS-filesystem found.
Invoking "format" and selecting the disk then asks if the disk should be labeled. If answered with yes all the disk is in one partition. Labelling the disk seems to kill all partitions as reattaching the disk to a Windows computer has the result that the disk has to be initialized and new partitions created. All data is hence lost.
I also tried creating a FAT32 filesystem from Solaris (which would be nice actually, as Windows isn't able to format 250Gig with FAT32 in one chunk) after creating a new partition using:
mkfs -F pcfs dev/dsk/c3t0d0s7Trying to mount this slice then yields:
mount -F pcfs dev/dsk/c3t0d0s7 /mntI/O error
Now I'm out of ideas! Do I have to "activate" FAT32 support specially? It all seemed so easy reading the "Managing USB Devices" in the Solaris 9 Documentation.
Thanks for any help in advance!

Did you try
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2:c /mnt
What's the contents of the fdisk partition table on Solaris, after you've prepared the USB HDD on windows?
The command "fdisk -W - /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2" prints the raw fdisk partition infomation.
You can also try to create the pcfs filesystem on Solaris, using something like this:
fdisk /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2 (create a 100% FAT32LBA partition, activate it and write back the fdisk label)
mkfs -F pcfs -o fat=32 /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2:c

Looking for an Access Point with 2 Ethernet ports and powered via PoE

Hi Gurus,
I am looking for an Access Point with 2 Ethernet ports and the access point can be powered via PoE. I have been assigned with a requirement where the rooms need to have access point as well as an Ethernet Cable provided from the Access Point as a backup for connectivity.
The room only has one data cable coming from the main IT room as well does not have a spare power socket to power the Access Point. Will be good if it can be centrally controlled or controller based.
Any recommendations?
Regards
J

For the backup plan, the cheapest solution may be to just run a couple new cat5e drops to the room(est cost $250). If not then purchase a small Cisco POE switch for the room(est cost $2k). For wireless I would purchase a POE enabled Cisco AP. But you will need to verify the POE switch/blade you will be connecting the AP to can power the AP you buy. I got burned by that issue when we purchased some Cisco 1251 AP's with dual radios and they needed more power than our 4500 POE blades could handle. We were told we would need to purchase new 48 port 10/100/1000 blades or power injectors. Our Cisco sales vendor took the heat for that mistake.

Can you get online via USB with OSX10.2.1?

I have a G3 iBook running 10.2.1 and a GPRS phone with a USB cable. The Phone works fine with my MacBook. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to work on the iBook, and the only help i've found online was recommending using Bluetooth (which I don't have on the iBook).
Please help!
Thanks in advance

You may sync your mac with iPhone via iTunes, as always with iPhones, check whether version is compatible with last iOS. Then your iPhone may sync with iCloud. I still have a 12 in PB made in 2004, it works fine with my iPhone, just it is older, the first iPhone on the market, it sill works fine, no need to replace it.
Before testing anything, backyp your data, just in case you make a mistake, always do that.
