[Announce] UFS200 v1.0 - Alternative USB filesystem for NAS200 running jac4 or higher

Unfortunately even tho i have amule set up correctly and running i have some problems.

Most of the times amule changes some values in amule.conf file. Those values are max upload and max download speed. It also changes gzip setting. And also max connections.

If i am right all those values get changed by the web interface. Its exactly the settings that web interface has in the settings page.

Another problem is with cpu utilization. While i see amule only use 8~20% of the cpu and reach 70+ when hashing files and everything is working great even at that time the web interface is very slow.

For some odd reason the page loading never completes.

Damn i will look at it tomorrow. To tired now.
I have finished with the amule guide (its quite big but it works even for people with min knowledge i think) with how to from the start to the end of a working a mule on this system.
All i need now is an admin from here to take a look at it.
I have to sleep right now.

Maybe from tomorrow i will start working on ctorrent and a good guide on it.

Lol it is only doing the never ending loading in firefox
In explorer it is working fine....

So after some testing i have no problems in explorer. Very possible that my firefox installation is somehow tweaked and has some problems with amule web interface.

The problem i had with changes in the amule.conf is solved.
On to the ctorrent configuration and a guide for it

I also faced this behavior, and also after running for a few days, it was taking a lot of memory. ctorrent+dctcs is lot more lighter and I think that the downloads are faster also than with ed2k protocol.

Feel free to open a new thread to publish this doc, and I will add a link in the UFS200 announcement to it. Don´t be afraid of errors in the guide, and let the community find them, if any. Hundred of eyes see more than two or three pairs.

Niceeee. A think a lot of people will really benefit from it. Maybe this way they can solve the problems they found that prevents them from making dctcs+ctorrent work.
Thanks a lot for your work GnFi!

Unfortunately i am so inexperienced in linux. I only know some basic commands. I hope i haven't messed up in the so called amule guide. At least i haven't found a valid one to compare
Right now i am messing up with ctorrent+dctcs web interface. Damn its really very light. Maybe because ctorrent process is forced to be in a lower priority?
Anyway it works till now but i will test more before i fix a so called guide.
That is if the way i wrote the amule guide is ok in the eyes of a viewer. But that is not on me to decide.

Hello again.

I have a small problem and i cannot understand why.

Every time i boot my NAS200 my Server Name changes from GnF_NAS200 to (none).

That makes my NAS200 not acceptable from windows network since i have mapped it under the name GNF_NAS200. I can bypass this by remapping it under the name (none) but that is not the solution i like.

The weird thing is that inside NAS200 default web interface (system options) the normal server name is still there.

A solution is to change it once to something else in there (lets say GnF_NAS20) press save then change it again to my old one and save again.
That works until next reboot.

I have done some changes and it might be true that they are responsible for this behavior.

I have saved 2 scripts in /harddisk/volume_3/data/rc.d

One is the rc.relocate (i think that is responcible for my disks not going to sleep anymore)

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Save this as /harddisk/volume_*/data/rc.d/rc.relocate
# The volume number depends on your configuration

# Helper subroutine to save some typing
relocate_ramdir()
{
rm -Rf $1
mkdir -p $1
rm -Rf $2
ln -s $1 $2
}

# replace volume_1 by volume_3 if you're running in RAID mode!
relocate_ramdir /harddisk/volume_3/conf/.varlock /var/lock
relocate_ramdir /harddisk/volume_3/conf/.varlog /var/log
relocate_ramdir /harddisk/volume_3/conf/.vartwonkymedia /var/twonkymedia

but i have a problem of my NAS200 dropping connections after 30 minutes so downloading a big number of files from it (or upload), or downloading one big file or uploading that takes more than 30 minutes is not possible.
That is a problem i am facing for a long time now and not since upgrading to jac4 or UFS200. I thought that might fixed this problem but i was not still able to try if it did

The second script i uploaded is rc.resetrootpassword
I have commented everything inside it with # and left it there to be ready is i forget my pass lets say. All i will have to do is remove # from it.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Reset the root password
# If you need to reset the password of root for ssh just delete the # symbol from all the lines below this one. Keep this file in rc.d directory of your shares
#egrep "^root:" /etc.default/passwd >/etc/x
#egrep -v "^root:" /etc/passwd >>/etc/x
#mv /etc/x /etc/passwd
#for x in 1 2 3
#do
#  cp /etc/passwd /harddisk/volume_$x/conf
#done

#mv $0 password_reset_done
#/etc/rc.d/rc.reboot

I really haven't messed with anything else.

hostname command returns
(none)

Anyone knows a workaround for this?

Thanks in advance


weird. The file in /etc.default/sysconfig/network is ok after manually fix. I cannot understand why. Even if i change it after restart nothing happens but the file remains ok.......

got stuck

Ok hope Im not doing anything wrong with posting my question here. Id so please delete it or redirect it to where it should be.

I've bought a NAS200 a long time ago. And after being on search for a new one, I accidentally came across this forum.....and glad that I did. Maybe now I can bring some new life into my NAS200.

Also it is worth mentioning that I don't have that high linux skills.
Anyways let me continue where my problem is.

I first did this tutorial made by jac goudsmit. Installed the new firmware, changed the password. Didn;t install/configure Twonky and telnet.
After doing all this I was able to login via SSH (PuTTY) and SCP (WinSCP).

Doing all this and browsing trough the forums made me visit this thread. And thought it would be kinda cool to have all these 'options' on my NAS200. Especially the "Bittorrent support (dctcs + ctorrent)" and "Shoutcast support (listen to your music anywhere)"...but also want to take a look at all the other fun stuff.

So I start downlaoding the UFS200 rar and formatted my 1GB usb stick, put the files on it, and let is wait till needed.
I login via SSH and SCP. Run all the commands (edit passwd.ufs200, modify root user, edit groups).

So I'm ready to do step 10, upload the rc.ufs200_boot file to my NAS200 (/harddisk/volume_X/data/rc.d/)
Now comes the problems. There isn't a folder/directory .../data/rc.d/

I have set my disk config: two separate disks.
I do have /etc/rc.d/ but no "rc.d" under /volume_x/data/

So can anybody help me further here?
Hope my question is clear enough, and understandable (Dutch is my first language)

Thanks up front for anyone taking the time and effort to help me

Hi!
With this file system is possible install svn service? Subvesion is very important for me, but i don't have any idea for insall in nas200.
Thx!

Hello,

I installed the jac4 firmware a while ago and wanted to try out ufs200. After following all the installation steps, I wanted to start enabling features but realized that I don't have a /etc/rc.d/rc.ufs200_services_startup

I believe I followed the directions pretty closely, possibly with the exception that I didn't have a "groups" file only a "group" one.

I wrote the files on volume_3 since I am using "two disks configured as one large disk" and when browsing the volume_3/data/ directory I can see all the files I upload through ftp.

My question is, can I just shutdown the NAS, remove the usb stick, and try again, or are there any other steps I should take before trying to install ufs200 again?

Thank you in advance

Good work i have installed it to and even my compiled busybox v1.16.1 will run smoothly with UFS200. Also I have managed to get OpenVPN running correctly.

But i have only one simple question. OpenVPN is started automatically from /etc/rc.d/rc.ufs200_services_startup. Since i have done that my hard disks don´t go in standby mode after 10 min. When i stop the service of OpenVPN manually it goes in standby mode after 10 min. But i want to keep it running with the option that the harddisk will go in standby mode after 10 min. It must be possible since OpenVPN is run from the flash drive.

Thanks

Just to let you know.

The download link on the announce page is no longer working. (20120224)
Rapidshare is returning a 404 error. Seems that all the file-hosting sites are running scared after the Mega raid.

Is there any other download link available?

It's still working just tested the download link. If you still experiencing problems try this link https://rapidshare.com/#!download|6...|77000|R~754BFB5F77B5ABD09A25E1A00678E8D5|0|0

To bad i still haven't got any answer to my above post. I've got a little further it's not OpenVPN related but UFS 1.0 related. With the USB stick removed booting to the stock jac4 the fans en hdd wil be in standby mode after 10 min. With UFS 1.0 not. Anyone?

Hello,
I have a BestConnection NAS200, have anibody tried this UFS200
method-working or not?
And can I use the firmware NAS200_V34R79jac4.bin in my unit?

Thanks a lot!

I am having difficulty locating the download described in this thread.

I have tried both links (like another user in this forum) and have been greeted by a page stating that the file is unavailable. One shows a file size of 0mb and another link shows the file size to be 77mb but is not available to be downloaded.

A search on RapidShare shows that the file is not available.

I have been trying to mod this NAS to act as a torrent download device until I have the time to complete the file server I'm assembling completed (almost done just need something minorly important - HDD's lol).

Hi all,

Sorry for the problem with the download link. I just noted that the it's not working anymore.
I tried to upload the file again but I found that I don't have the original file (UFS200-v1.0.rar) anymore.
I must say that I'm not using NAS200 since several months now, but I still have a UFS200 backup around, the problem is that I need to find time to clean it up, and check that all the scripts are fine for publishing.
If anyone else have the original file and want to upload it, please feel free to do it and let me know.
If not, I will try to find the time to clean up my backup and upload it again.
Thank you all for your interest.

Jackito

Desperately looking for this download as well
