new feature: NETAPP

[b-rad.cc]

hello out there. I committed some patches a few days ago that I should mention as it is quite a large feature. Essentially its the ability to have your app.bin's, osd.bin's, wdtvext plugins, and anything else really located on one of your xmounts.

Anyone running 0.4.5.3+ can try, by putting the below in net.config on an attached USB device at first
nfs (with predefined hostname) :

Code: Select all

crazymount NETMOUNT mbl-01:/nfs

cifs:

Code: Select all

crazymount NETMOUNT //192.168.0.123/SomeShare

crazymount accepts either a disk location for manual scanning, or a remote share address which it will hash and mount in /tmp/mnt automagically.

You can't use a read-only xmount with anything except cramfs app/osd bins, because other filesystems require write access (even if mounted ro)

Once you have confirmed NETAPP works from the USB device, THEN move that net.config to /conf/net.config.

NOTE: it is possible to put your device into an unusable state by supplying an invalid /conf/config in versions under 0.5.0.0. This is why its stated to get this working from usb first. You have been warned!

Peeps,

couldn't resist to try this one out.

Use case:

192.168.1.105 = winXP with a share called wdlxtv
192.168.1.98 = wdlxtv

Added in /conf/net.mount the following line to enable read-only mounting:

Code: Select all

xmount "//192.168.1.105/wdlxtv" sdc cifs "user=myusername,pass=mypass"


Secondly, as stated above by b-rad, I added the following to the /conf/net.config:

Code: Select all

crazymount NETMOUNT //192.168.1.105/wdlxtv user=myusername,pass=mypass


In /tmp/messages.txt, I can follow the crazymount behavior:

Code: Select all

Jan  1 01:00:46 WDTVLIVE user.notice mount.watch: starting


and I can see my irssi.app.bin be mounted on /apps:

Code: Select all

# ls -al /apps/irssi/
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           20 Jan  1  1970 bin
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           24 Jan  1  1970 etc
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           20 Jan  1  1970 include
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           36 Jan  1  1970 lib
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           68 Jan  1  1970 share


As usual: kudoz for b-rad!

Very nice feature, works like a charm although i had to add this before crazymount to net.config in order to get it working with NFS.

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/S10portmap startNFS

NOT REQUIRED!

Good Day everyone,

Config Background:

Device: WDLXTV_PLUS
Latest version: Unknown
Current version: 0.5.1.1
Firmware: 1.05.04_B


My /net.config contains:

Code: Select all

crazymount NETMOUNT liz-pc:/WDUSB

After rebooting, nothing happens. However if I run

Code: Select all

chmod a+x /conf/net.config && /conf/net.config

it will place everything in the NFS share in /apps. what can I do to make this work automaticly.


I fixed my issue. I added this to /conf/net.config

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/S10portmap startNFS

Upon reboot, everything ran correctly.
