NFS for Networkstreaming
Hi there,
I'm about to receive my new DNS-323 tomorrow, bundled with a 400 gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (second one to come soon...).
Now I informed myself about the possibilities of a new NAS, which was till yesterday my small dual-P3.
In my living room, I have a german D-Box which supports TV-Streaming via Ethernet. The Problem is, that the only possibility to get a good stream is to use NFS (D-Box has just 10Mbit and needs ~7-8 MBit/s for Streaming). For my P3 it worked ok, but I doubt that it'll work with the DNS.
After searching a long time and no good answer, I'd like to try here:
Is there a possibility to add NFS to the DNS? I found several reports about a DNS with NFS but no description about the HOW.
Would be great if anybody could help.
Greetings from Germany

You can try my current fun-plug (it's quite fresh and hasn't had much testing yet): http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/
It provides telnet and NFS servers.
Let me know if it worked for you.

Wow, cool... didn't find this page, sounds pretty easy.
Will report when finished!
Thanks a lot

Re: NFS for Networkstreaming
Fonz, some nice work! I like this simple structure in your new download - and your clear instructions. Telnet w/tab-completion works for me (I don't know if it's your 1.4.1 busybox version that does it?), but it makes a huge difference. I'm wondering if you're going to throw an /opt in there, like you did for your old dropbear package. I didn't love the /opt binding, particularly, but I know why you put it there, and it was great how you made it. thanks - cool!

Thank you. I assume this means you tried it and it works?
Tab completion is a feature of busybox (I enabled it after Gonzo T. Durden told me that this feature exists) - actually, it's part of ash, not telnetd.
And I won't add /opt again. I did't like it myself very much ;-)
This fun-plug is meant as a preparation for "reloaded" and "linux from scratch" (LFS): I use NFS to install a new kernel and LFS on the 323, and telnet to boot it. So far I can say: I love it!

Re: NFS for Networkstreaming
your telnet works well - and that's with firmware v.1.03 (w/ a slightly updated kernel version).
An \opt without the binding I think could be ok, too, maybe (e.g.
\fun_plug.d\opt\dropbear-0.49
\fun_plug.d\opt\rsync-2.6.8
..
etc?
don't know if it would better to include the version numbers or not.
cool that you enabled the tab-completion in ash - makes a big difference. I never had that on my linksys wrt54gs - now I'll try to figure out how to enable it.
-best/thx!

I don't think that's necessary. One way to add dropbear is:
- Download dropbear from inreto.de/dns323/old/packages/
- Upack in a temporary directory, copy program files to bin/ and create a new script for start/dropbear.sh (reusing stuff from rc.d/dropbear-start).
tar xzvf dropbear-0.49-dns323-tp1.tgz
cp -a bin/* /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/bin/
- create /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/start/dropbear.sh
You'll get the busybox 1.00 shell, though, and need to type the magic number - a little more work is needed.

Cool thanks, yes, I followed your instructions in the past here, and it worked perfectly:
http://dns323.kood.org/forum/p1686-2007 … html#p1686
I was about to automate the copying of my etc/passwd and /etc/shells into my funplug when I noticed you had a new distro .

Hi there,
just received my Box, first thing was to upgrade to 1.03 and second to test the NFS. Looks very fine, thanks a lot!
