I skipped the ipv6 build because there is a problem with luci (reported) and I don't have time to test it until april.

Since I am moving to Japan, this will be the latest build for this month.

Hope to build a new one in February ;)

WBMR IPv6 Status

I just compiled a new trunk version with IPv6 support (ipv6-support opkg). 

Interesting is everything works fine expect I have ipv6 disconnection after 5 minutes. 

Sure is in early development with Telecom Italia :P
Reporting to openwrt this issue they found out there was a bug :P

Maybe I'll post this build if you want to test it with your ISP.

What's inside:
IPv4 support only

OpenVPN 2.2.2

NTFS-3G 2012.1.15 *new* *remember to edit the /etc/hotplug.d/button/10-generic.sh*
USB mounts support (USB 2.0 with NTFS support only)


NTFS umount how to:
Login in SSH(or use WinSCP) to the router and edit this file:

/etc/hotplug.d/button/10-generic.sh

Find and replace everything with:

rfkill)
        umount /mnt/sda1
              ;;

By default the rfkill button enable/disable wifi!

Now save and configure you mount points like this:




WHEN YOU WANT TO DISCONNECT THE USB DEVICE FROM THE ROUTER YOU MUST PUSH THE BUTTON TO UMOUNT THE FOLDER. IF YOU HAVE ACCESSED THE USB RECENTLY AND YOU WANT TO SAFELY DISCONNECT IT, WAIT FROM 30 TO 60 SECONDS THEN PRESS THE BUTTON. I SUGGEST YOU TO CHECK YOUR SYSTEM LOG IN LUCI WHERE YOU CAN SEE THIS MESSAGE:

Jan  8 10:51:40 OpenWrt daemon.notice ntfs-3g[29922]: Unmounting /dev/sda1 ()
Jan  8 10:52:02 OpenWrt kern.info kernel: [42813.400000] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, device number 19 ****NOW THE USB IS DISCONNECTED


In case the router mounts the usb as /dev/sdb1 you can:

  • reboot the router with the usb attached so next time it will be mounted as /dev/sda1 like it should.
  • see this post and do one of these things -> NTFS File system

Buffalo WBMR - NTFS file system

Yesterday I compiled a new build with ntfs-3g 2012.1.15 (openwrt still uses 2011.04 and now it's broken) and this is the situation:  it works!

  • slow speed if you copy a file from pc to usb device via lan (about 737KB/s)
  • if you boot the router with an usb device attached it will be mount automatically as /dev/sda1 - so no problem
  • sometimes when you disconnect the usb device and reconnect it, the router will mount it as /dev/sdb1 in fact if you check the processes you will see ntfs-3g still running with /dev/sda1 configuration
  • sometimes you don't have to create a mount point for fstab, just connecting the usb device will create it - so check always the System Log and the mount points from LUCI
  • sometimes you have to reboot the router to restore the /dev/sda1
  • when you share an usb device via samba, changing the shared folder name let you see the contents
After this experiment I don't think it is a good idea to use ntfs-3g. If your really need ntfs and you connect an usb device without disconnect it often, I can compile for you one.

I just find out that you just need to unmount the folder BEFORE disconnecting the usb device.

from SSH:

umount /path/*/ 

I scripted the button near the usb to do the umount and it works great! yay!

From the next build I will add ntfs support ;)
