Hallo Leute !

nachdem ich es geschafft habe vom USB stick zu booten ist mir ein bischen fad (nur das multiboot zu debuggen ist nicht wirklich seligmachend) und das Wochenende naht ...

Nach kurzer medidation über die verschiedenen Wünsche nach einen USB/PC/NFS mount plugin habe ich mir gedacht anstatt das Rad neu zu erfinden wäre es doch gescheiter den automaount daemon auf der DM 7025 zum Laufen zu bringen.

Dann hätte wenigstens das auto feld in der fstab einen Bedeutung

Habt Ihr Feedback zu dieser idee - und wie üblich kann jemand den automount daemon für mich aus dem CSV bauen?

Ich melde mich freiwillig es dann zum laufen zu bringen und evt ein Plugin draus zu machen, bzw. es beim cronmanager plugin dazuzutun.

Ansonsten muss ich mich wieder mit dem lirc daemon spielen, auch interessant, aber neues Spielzeug das die Leute glücklicher macht ist immer hübscher.

Gruss & Danke im voraus

Hello folks !

After I managed to get the USB Stick booting I'm a little bit bored (just debugging multiboot is not really a way to happiness), and the weekend is close ...

So after some medidation on the various wishes for USB/PC/NFS Mount Plugins I think instead of re-inventing the wheel for manual mounts it would be better to try to make the automount dameon running on the DM 7025.

Then the auto field in fstab would have a real meaning

Any feedback on this idea, and as usually, could somebody compile it for me from the CSV - I'm volunteering to make a plugin out of it and/or to add it to the cronmanager plugin if I can get it work.

Otherwise I have to play with the lirc dameon again - exiting, but I prefere new toys which would make more users happy.

Thanx in advance

If getting a copy of automount keeps you from boredom during the week-end, then I feel it's almost a duty to keep up your supply of new toys...

Although it kinda makes me feel like a drug-pusher

Please find attached autofs (I assume this is the automounter you wanted?) and the kernel module that you will also need. Not tested at all. autofs4.ko comes from enabling CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS as a module in kernel .config, while the user-land daemon is straight out of OpenEmbedded (bitbake autofs).

That's going too far, I think. The autofs daemon has it's own config file, it's not using /etc/fstab, and you would need a proper mount command (not the poor excuse that busybox provides, although even busybox is gradually improving) for the fstab file to be correctly interpreted.

P.S. Why don't you install Linux and OpenEmbedded on your PC? OpenEmbedded would give you literally thousands of packages to play with, just by "bitbake <package_name>" and installing the resulting ipk file.... You'd never be bored again

Thanks noggie - and regarding your worries- drug dealers give you only the first shot for free.

Yes, autofs ist the binary I was looking for - let's see how far I can get with it.

And regarding the auto in fstab - I know that autofs has it's own config file and everything - this is why I think a plugin would be needed so that people can easily place their (PC) mountpoints into it.

The meaning for auto in fstab was actually a joke, because it is more try once and then forget it at the moment.

And regarding the OpenEmbedded - well I know that it is not so difficult, but It is a little bit like when you are a child - if papa brings a present home in the evening it is MUCH more fun then if you grow up and have to buy it yourself

PS: I added some comments about the maxdevice problem I found with my USB stick - see the vmlinux.gz with USB topic for details - any idea if I could be right ?

Just some quick feedback until the weekend starts:

Kernel module doesn't load - Device or resource busy error (-1) - But I have to try with a current CSV image first.

ipk file contains autoumoun finary too - but this seems to be still compiled for Intel - typical Synatx error ( expected

So we need some more work here ...

Ciao

yes, now automount in the ipk package is correctly compiled, Thanks

Regarding kernel module - well I tested also quickly remote (from work) with a non-standard Kernel, so I'll try again over the weekend.

So thank you for the new toy, and I promise to bring it home before midnight

PS: Multiboot 6.26 ist now out where most of the bugs with the USB support were fixed, looking forward what now will happen on the kernel question (to USB or not to USB Shakespeare would say)

so, here's you girl back noggie !

Sorry that the readme ist German only at the moment, but 80% is a
short description of automount and autofs which you can easily find with Google in English too or by reading the man pages.

At the moment the kit is just including the basic stuff, and if you enable it in the menu interface or with the automount.sh script
then it will install the needed stuff on your box, patch the startup script so that it runs on the Dreambox and then you can start/stop/restart/reload the dameon with the menu interface similar to my cronmanager plugin.

Adding a single samba and cifs mountpoint to auto.misc is included in the plugin, but untested.

But the /misc and /net examples seem to work (well at least they are shown if you enter mount as autofs).

So I now would need inputs from people using samba and/or nfs or CD/DVD devices which are willing to play with the plugin and create appropiate config files for it, so that I then can use these as templates
for adding appropiate menu interfaces to create them interactively
(cifs and samba is hence untested).

So I hope this is usefull stuff for people who are used to work with automount/autofs and are willing now to contribute their know-how.

Was not too difficult, so let's see what people can do with this on their Dreambox !

Ciao
