Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

I used something similiar to post #44 from thread http://dns323.kood.org/forum/t3126-easy … ebian.html to run my chroot'd debian to a USB stick. How do I back up the linux directory on the USB stick? If I use cp command, contents of both drive seems to be copied because they both are mounted at /mnt.
thanks.

toolbox: I keep three fun_plug scripts on HD_a2. The base telnet fun_plug I use to copy the files from the usb stick to the hard drive (back up my install). I also chroot into the debian install on the hard drive to e2fsck the usb stick BEFORE copying the linux directory. Depending upon what maintenance I need to do I rename each fun_plug script and reboot the NAS. The solution really just sucks so far. I think having the ffp sript boot first to get a working e2fsk and more bash commands would be the best method. If ffp were loaded then you could write a script to check all USB partition for an unclean mount (they are never unmounted properly). Once the e2fsck completes then you could copy the contents of USB/linux to HD_a2/linux. Finally after doing that then you could chroot into debian. I'd put the aformentioned script in /ffp/etc/start and change it to an executeable.
Since I havent written the script and I'm still having issues running from a USB drive I've abandoned this method. Running /linux from the USB, and even the swap from USB was fine - although in the ffp script you' probably want to run mkswap every time you boot before turrning swapon. The problem was the 6 GB partition on the USB stick where the torrents were stored. If there were more than 2 torrents I'd get a storage error on all downloads. I'm no longer on vacation and back to the work thing - so I'm out of endless hours to play with this thing.
Hope this helps and glad to see that someone is using the simple script. It's really just a hack now since it doesnt consider all variables and has no method to backup to the hard drive.
