USB Storage

[florachan]

Since now gargoyle been using the latest OpenWrt version to 8.09.2 ,

I was wondering how do go about attaching a USB storage device to the router? I hope someone experience in attaching usb storage device can help me here.


I am using ASUS WL500 Premium V2 with two USB port


1) Do the hard disk need to be in specific file format eg. ext2, ex3 or
it can be FAT32 or NTFS?

2) Do I have to install any extra package onto the router for usb support?

3) When I attached the external USB hard disk to it, do I have to type anything to mount it or Do I have to mount it manually? If I need to mount , is there an Automount script that I can use?


Help will be much appreciated thanks

you'll need some packages to access ntfs or vfat

Code: Select all

kmod-fs-vfat
kmod-fs-ntfs
ntfs-3g

then you have to mount it manually by console

Code: Select all

mount <src> <dst>

maybe you need to specify fs-type by using "-t"-parameter

to automount the device on system startup edit /etc/config/fstab
