Yes, it seems to work on TP-LINK 1043ND. I just have a little problem in transmission. I'm getting the following message:

Code:
"Error: Read-only file system"



The root filesystem is read-only (because it is in flash) and the /jffs filesystem is read-write. As far as I can tell, it is the intention that these packages installed in /jffs completely live there, but maybe this doesn't always work. For example, the config file for openssh refers to /etc, which is on the read-only filesystem. In general, unix assumes that /etc is writable. If this is the problem then I don't know how to fix it. Maybe the "official" optware installation somehow makes /jffs overlay over the root directory or something. It seems that something like that needs to be done, as some of the packages try and append stuff to /etc/passwd, which ends up being /jffs/etc/passwd, which I think isn't read by anything.

If you want to know where the program is trying to write to, you can run it through strace.

use 'ps' to see what user transmission is running as and 'ls -l' on the directories/folders to check permissions


User is 'root', permissions are all right, root has write permission for all folders.

Transmission tries to use folders on the USB flash drive. Here's some lines from config.json:

Code:
    "download-dir": "/mnt/downloads",
    "incomplete-dir": "/mnt/downloads/.incomplete",

Yes, but it may also be trying to write somewhere else as well, perhaps a log or status file, and strace will tell you where. If you are able to write a file into /mnt/downloads yourself then the problem is probably that it is also using some other dir. It takes a while to sift through the strace output, but if you are dedicated you will be able to see what it is trying to do.

I just wrote a new guide for this router. The guide has information on how to go about installing a chroot'ed version of Optware and also the Transmission BitTorrent client.

You can find the guide at http://www.digitalinternals.com/150/20110130/wzr-hp-g300nh-modding-guide/

Thanks for that well-written documentation, it helped me to get an Optware environment set up on my USB stick.

You can specify where transmission-daemon saves and looks for config files with the option "-g" when starting transmission:

transmission-daemon -g /mnt/hdd/some_folder

If the config files don't exist in the specified folder, they will be created with default settings. You may want to "killall transmission-daemon" and edit the settings file in your specified folder to match your preferences. Then start transmission-daemon again with the aforementioned command.
