Can someone explain me why everytime I mount a separate pen/hard disk it always mount in /opt, where I already have another partion (from separate hard drive, in this case, a usb pen) previous mounted there by automount?
My setup is a (temporary) 8GB pen, with optware, mnt jffs, all in ext3,
I'm trying to mount a ntfs 1TB western digital ext hardrive and I cannot find a way to do it!
BTW, fuse is automatic loaded (using BS 16214 mega).
I already tried adding the uuid of the partition to /opt/etc/automount and specifying the folder where to mount but I only get the router to crash!
Tried manually mounting the wd disk with ntfs-3g but I get a message saying that something similiar to this: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/ (already closed previous shell session, and don't remember the path exactly, sorry) is a directory and fails to mount.

I'm trying to get NTFS support for my USB-attached 1T drive, following the post at the top of this thread. I'm running an E3000, with this build: dd-wrt.v24-16214_NEWD-2_K2.6_std_usb_nas-e2k-e3k. I have USB enabled; I've enabled JFFS2 (Total: 2,304.00 KB / Free: 1,588.00 KB). I've created the ipkg-related /jffs directories, and downloaded the ntfs-3g...ipk file. When I run this:
root@E3000:/jffs/tmp# ipkg -d ram install ntfs-3g_2011.1.15-1-fuseint_brcm47xx.ipk
Unpacking ntfs-3g...Done.
Configuring ntfs-3g.../tmp/usr/lib/ipkg/info/ntfs-3g.postinst: line 5: can't create /etc/filesystems: Read-only file system
I'm baffled. I understand that /etc is probably read-only, as it should be, but why is the installer/package trying to write anything there? By installing with the "-d root" option, doesn't that write to /jffs? This is really my first attempt at installing a package using ipkg, so I'm probably missing something fundamental.
Thanks in advance for any counsel you may offer. -Ben
EDIT 2011-03-20, 11:11Pacific: realized that this build actually has support built-in. What a dumb-ass I can be sometimes. Now just to figure out how to access it via my Win7 laptop.... -Ben
Does the ntfs support independent of the hardware?what iam asking is, i have an asus wl-500gp v2 and it doesnt support ntfs officially.....will this method work with my router?

I am having the exact same problem trying to install NTFS support. I am however running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/12/10) mega - build 14929 which does not already include NTFS. My router is a WRT610N. I am a noob as far as DD-WRT /Unix/ Linux is concerned, so any help in solving this problem is much appreciated.
Some backgroud: I enabled JFFS2 support in the web GUI and mounted it on the 1st partition (ext3) of my USB attached HD to extend it's capacity. I was thinking of installing any additional ipkg packages to the extended jffs. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the above problem but I am including it for information.
I ave the asus wl500gp v2 and i still have some doubts regarding ntfs with optaware, do i still need a ext3 partition if i plan using the ntfs one ????i know that optware packages are loaded from the hdd so i was wondering if still need a ext partition to store there. can anyone confirm??

Hi all, been a regular in the forum, just want to thank you all for bringing the best of my Router.
I have an Asus WL500GP and wanted to attach an NTFS disk to it without the need of using an EXT3 file system.
Next followed the guide:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Optware
1-Enabled the jffs in WebAcess
2 - Option A: Preparing /jffs for /opt
3- Installed Optware (it gave a few errors but I carry on ...)
4- Installed ntfs-3g ... (see 1st post)
And thats it simple
I now see my NTFS disk in the /mnt folder.
Now can you help me configuring the Samba in the WebAcess so it'll be access in Windows 7 machines ?

I insmod the fuse.ko unsuccessfully. my fireware is DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/07/12) mega.
I do not think there is a current module available for the 2.4 kernels. The only ones available for DD-WRT is on the 2.6 kernels.
Side note: The E3000 can use the 2.6 kernels, therefore it is possible to get the "big" firmware for it that has the ntfs support. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

Hi,
Im running 17084M NEWD-2Eko-mini-usb-ftp on my WL-500gPV2 with 1USB stick with installed Optware, which is mounted to /opt. It has 3partitions - swap,opt,data.
Now, I want to add a 500GB external 2.0 USB drive, with only 1 partition, NTFS formated and prepare everything like its written in the first post.
But when its added to the router and restarted, the first drive/stick is not running optware and the mounts are messed cause of Automounting in ddWRT WEBGui.
Its obvious I have to mount everything manually
-1. stick, let it load everything
-sleep
-insmod fuse
-mount HDD with ntfs-3g
, but here stands the problem. "mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 /opt" is not working for me
and the rest follows.
Any suggestion, help?
Thanks in advance

Does the "WL-500gPV2" have more than one USB slot? If not, then you are likely removing your "stick" to attach the second storage drive. That is not possible as your "stick" has the necessary programs to mount the second storage area.
With one USB slot, he only possible way to make your drive work is with a USB hub (preferably a powered one as most routers do not supply enough juice via USB). Then you will still have to "manually" mount everything. As it is, you will have more control over the process at that point.
If that router does have two USB slots, then you like just have the wrong mount point. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

Asus WL-500gp v2 has 2 USB ports.
...I tried another thing - partitioning mentioned external HDD to swap(swap-linux),opt(ext3),data(ntfs) and after installing Optware, that ntfs was automatically mounted. So support of ntfs is allready built-in.
But this is not the solution, as I really need to have
- USB pendrive in 1 slot running Optware
- USB 2.0 HDD in second slot for data and spinned down when not in use.
What about mounting them automatically through DDWRT webGUI before installing optware to the pendrive?

I did not realize that router had two USB slots. On the DD-WRT side, auto mounting two drives is impossible through the GUI, but *is* possible when using Optware.
"Optware the Right Way" (OTRW) was originally created by frater, but has been continued development by basmaf. The install of OTRW includes an automount script that takes care of any mounting for you on Optware startup. You might investigate into using OTRW even if the rest of its features you do not need.
As for the "spin down" feature, I think you will need to look for other forum member's progress on that because DD-WRT does not provide that feature by default. If your drive supports it, your drive may be able to automatically spin down. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26
