Curious if /mnt/USB is mounted. Can you post the following

lsmod #(expect to see usb-storage.ko loaded)
fdisk -l /dev/sd[cde] #(expect to see ext2 filesystem on one of the partitions)
mount #(expect to see the USB partition mounted to /mnt/USB)

If you see all good results when running the above commands then I'd "cd /mnt/USB" then "touch test_file" this will create a test file on the usb stick. To see if it's there "ls" and see if the file you just created is there.

and here is my setup.sh

My guess is that the file system is the problem. FAT doesn't support Linux file attributes and links. I would suggest to format your USB disk as ext2.

OK, have downloaded "Partition Manager" and formatted the USB to ext2 using this. Then did:

mke2fs /dev/sdc1

and rebooted....

Now, is "cp -a /mnt/HD_a2/ffp /mnt/USB/" the correct command to copy everything from ffp (including links etc) to the USB?

cp -a ... command is what I used a while back when I did this. I used http://bfg100k.blogspot.com/2008/11/upg … o-usb.html as a guide.

Somewhere I thought I read that a "cp -a" doesn't copy all Symbolic Links etc and that you should use "cp -r".... Is that true.

PS I followed that link you posted too...

If you are not sure about the options of a command, try "<command> --help". This will usually tell you the options and a description of them.

cp --help says:

root@nas:/# cp --help
BusyBox v1.11.1 (2008-07-13 20:04:00 CEST) multi-call binary

Usage: cp [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST

Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY

Options:
        -a      Same as -dpR
        -d,-P   Preserve links
        -H,-L   Dereference all symlinks (default)
        -p      Preserve file attributes if possible
        -f      Force overwrite
        -i      Prompt before overwrite
        -R,-r   Recurse directories
        -l,-s   Create (sym)links

root@nas:/#

You can see that the option "-a" already includes "-d", "-p" and "-R".

You can try "lsof | grep HD" to see which process has stuff opened on your disks. Usually you will see smbd there, the samba daemon.

root@nas:/# lsof | grep HD
smbd       1823  root  cwd       DIR        8,2    4096          2 /mnt/HD_a2
smbd       1877  root  cwd       DIR        8,2    4096          2 /mnt/HD_a2
root@nas:/#

Samba won't bother the disks unless somebody is accessing files in one of the shares.

Your problem is usually caused by running a memory resident script/program from within /mnt/HD_... It could be your fan script but you need to check it yourself.

Heres the output from the lsof | grep HD_ command, there is a lot of stuff in there....... most of it is BT which i don't use. The fan control script i though was supposed to run in RAM ...

Appreciate any help here, am on holidays till 28th so won't be able to reply till then....

It looks like torrent is running. If you don't need it you should disable it. It looks like the fan script was started from "/mnt/HD_a2", probably by the funplug script. You need to "cd" out of "/mnt/HD_a2" before starting other scripts via funplug. It even looks like the funplug script didn't finish executing. Maybe you didn't start the fan script in the background.

This is how my funplug script starts the fan script:

Code:

cd /ffp/start
./newfancontrol & >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

The "&" is important there to start the script in the background. Otherwise funplug will keep running as long as the fan script is running.

Here is my funplug script, its the latest fonz one. Pretty vanilla except the fan script bit at the end... Is it missing something????

I deleted the BT Torrent and here is the latest output from "lsof | grep HD_"

Thx

It is as I expected. You run the fan script from your disk and that is causing the disk access. You need to move your fan script "ctrl_fanspeed.sh" to somewhere else, the USB stick for example or at least the RAM disk and start it from there.  Also you need to add the "&" to the end of the line.

The lines should look like this:

Code:

cd <path to fan script>
<path to fan script>/ctrl_fanspeed.sh &

Substitute <path to fan script> by the real path. This will allow your funplug to complete and will prevent access to your disks by funplug or the fan script.

I added the following to the funplug script:

cp /mnt/HD_a2/ctrl_fanspeed.sh /ffp/start
cd /ffp/start
./ctrl_fanspeed.sh & >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

Attached is the output from the lsof | grep HD_  command but is the funplug still not ending?
