hi, I'm not sure if this is the right list. my client is sharing a folder via samba (/export) In that folder there is a automount-entry for my usbstick (/export/usbstick) On another host i can mount the export with mount.smbfs As soon as I access the stick (so automount gets active) i cannot umount the share. Get error: device is busy (automount timeout is set to 2sec.) When i never access the stick (automount is still waiting), a umount is no pr...

I have a script transferring some backup files onto a USB stick, which has limited space. I use rsync 3.0.5 with the following command: rsync -av --delete-before /local/backups/dir/backup1_todaysdate /local/backups/dir/backup2_todaysdate /local/backups/dir/backup3_todaysdate /USBstick/backups/dir The USB stick runs out of space if more than 1 backup set is put on it, so I'd assumed that by using the --delete-before option would first scrub /USBstick/backups/dir of any files that I hadn't listed to be transfered - is this how it works? Because it doesn't seem to work...

Hello everybody, i am running samba 3.0.23c and i have a little problem when writing a file to a share. When i connect to my samba server, all the shares are shown correctly. Then i choose the one (my usbstick) where i would like to copy some files to. My client is a windows XP client and what happens is, that samba first creates the file and all the needed memory on the usbstick, before it starts to copy the file to this stick. (It is the same behaviour when using a hard disk) I can see this, because...

...into bios upgrade disks images or can easily create a disk image and would like an easy way to just boot these images. I know isolinux does this and I vagely remember using it to make a bootable windows 95 cd back in the day. It worked to. It would be nice if I could just copy the disk image to a usbstick and use syslinux to boot these images. Is it possable? And if so how do I add these to the config file I tried label dosdisk kernel floppy.img Is that not correct? If someone has a better solution like with grub or something I'd like a method that works on a usbstick which I don't know...

...n the meantime 99% of the normal home/sbu are not and hence projects like openwrt/dd-wrt/tomato/buildroot try to bring some of your hand crafted "magic" to the masses. Also keep in mind that samba3.6 was successfully adopted on any device that had a usb2.0 port in the past. So slapping a usbstick/sdcard/hdd on a cheap router is already a common scenario. bye Andy

Well yes, but these are usually a mass market product and will no doubt, in the fullness of time, get to use a version of Samba 4 seeing as how 3.6 has been EOL since March 2015.

Hi, I'm currently trying to build up a booting usbstick. works fine with syslinux. However I have some troubles putting my own kernel image (bzImage) instead of that of a distribution (i.e. already compiled). The only difference I noticed is that the "pre-compiled" kernel is about 1.4M big whereas mine 1.5M. The Syslinux Homepage confirm that...

...I.e. they(knoppix) just put support in their initramfs to deal with the .iso in the vfat filesystem. What would be ideal, and what I would *really like*, is if sys/isolinux would support referencing kernels and initrds that live *within* a .iso image, that is either residing on a vfat fs on a usbstick, or a .iso image that is residing in the iso9660 filesystem of the cdrom boot media. One perhaps controversial use-case of this, would be to take a Fedora LiveCD iso image, and redistribute it *intact and unmodified* inside another iso9660 filesystem, along with custom modifications, and a boo...

Hi, Is it possible to know (and pass it as a kernel argument) from which device syslinux booted from? My case is: I have a USB stick with a custom linux installation. Syslinux boots from it, load kernel and initrd. My initrd scans all blocks devices looking for a valid root device and use it when it is found. The problem is that sometimes I have another USB stick on the same computer wich has

hi all i have problems configuring my cdrom-devices with winecfg. when i try to add it as d: with the mountpoint /media/cdrom0 and select to be a cdrom-device, click apply and restart winecfg it is shown as a disk-device. i also tried with different mountpoints and also the device /dev/hdd itselfs but it always ends in the same problem. Also the autoconfiguration thing does not work. It adds my

Hi - Updated my old project named "ext3carve" and renamed it as "extcarve" . It uses libext2fs. (To be precise,re-uses on 'debugfs' command's "dump_unused" feature) In summary,the tool will do the following - It will scan the linux machine ,for unused/deleted blocks and search for magic signatures. If it finds valid signature (both header and footer) It
