ok. I have found a few steps to upgrade

of course this is at your own risk blah blah blah
Anyhow. Follow the steps below and you should be fine (most of these steps have been pilfered from here)

1) modify the etch.list file to show lenny (see Sraet posts) I would launch to the following command first
   cp etc/apt/sources.list.d/etch.list ~/etch.list.bak
  This will give you a backup on the root's home folder
2) launch command
   apt-get update
3) then
   apt-get upgrade
4) then
   apt-get dist-upgrade
5) reboot
6) just to check
   apt-get update
7) then
   apt-get upgrade

that should put your NAS to a nice little lenny distro and up to date.

Any questions, yell.

Fresh install of the tarball linked in the first post.
I have updated my resolv.conf and modify the etch.list by replacing the 'etch' by 'lenny' :

# more etc/apt/sources.list.d/etch.list
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free

Now I am ending with :

An apt-get install command will systematically fail. Any idea ?

i fixed it with: mount -t proc none /mnt/HD_a2/lenny/proc

Sorry, I did not visit this board for several weeks / months.
Actually I thought this thread was dead already.

I will try to catch up things and maybe post an update within the next two weeks.

@manuael_T: Hi, thanks. I'll have a go at this as soon as possible. Is this the page your are referring to >> http://dns323.kood.org/howto:chroot_debian

@abubin: Yes it works

@manuel_t: You should update the script so both drives are mounted. They are not by default now.

I compiled all info at one place adding my customizations. Everything works great and should go "sticky" or "wiki"

######Simple NAS-323 Hack#######

##########Download manuel_t's Debian Etch package:########### (thanks Manuel)###
http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourcefo … .5.tar.bz2
Installation of Etch:
1. Ensure you have the newest firmware (1.06).
2. Extract the downloaded archive
3. Copy the two extracted files linux.tar and fun_plug to the root directory of your first DNS-323 volume
4. Reboot the DNS-323
5. The DNS-323 is going to work for several minutes now and finally reboots
6. The DNS-323 automatically boots into Debian and runs the SSH - daemon

You can now log in via SSH, the default root password is 12345678

###########Mount second drive (if you did not used raid 1), fix fun_plug entries, fix errors that df -h command throws:#####
#thanks kennedy101#

1. Edit fun_plug file and add next: 

# Root DISK2
export DISK2=/mnt/HD_b2
mount --bind $DISK2 $DISTDIR/$DISK2

Manualy create folder in /mnt:
mkdir /mnt/HD_b2

2. The "/" between $DISTDIR and $DISK1 is missing:

mount --bind $DISK1 $DISTDIR/$DISK1

3. Fix errors showed by df -h:
manually create next folders:
mkdir /mnt/HD_a4
mkdir /mnt/HD_b4
mkdir /sys/crfs

############Upgrade to Lenny:#############

1. Make copy then  edit next file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/etch.list using nano command:
nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/etch.list
Replace all occurrences of etch with lenny and save the file

2. launch command
apt-get update

3. then
apt-get upgrade

4. then
apt-get -u dist-upgrade

5. reboot

6. just to check
apt-get update

7. then
apt-get upgrade

That should put your NAS to a nice little lenny distro and up to date.

############Install Samba :#############

!!Important Info!!:
Before this modification decide which samba instance you want to use.
You will have to stop original samba instance first by editing next file:
/mnt/HD_a2/linux/boot/linuxrc
add at bottom:

# Stop samba
/usr/bin/killall smbd nmbd
#Give some time to stop process
sleep 5
# Start samba and read new smb.conf file
/etc/init.d/samba start

After this install do not use settings from web interface because all settings will be "killed" anyway:
USERS / GROUPS, QUOTAS, NETWORK ACCESS
Everything will be handled by your chroted lenny samba

Do not delete HD_xx folders!

Download all files required to satisfy dependency (could be more then this).
Your version is lenny and architecture is ARM.
Download latest version (as of time writing samba_3.2.5-4_arm.deb).
Samba will probably fail to start but you will fix that later.

Check dependencies for samba:
aptitude -D show samba   

Depends: samba-common (= 2:3.2.5-4), logrotate, libacl1 (>= 2.2.11-1),
         libattr1 (>= 2.4.41-1), libc6 (>= 2.7-1), libcomerr2 (>= 1.01),
         libcups2 (>= 1.3.8), libgnutls26 (>= 2.4.0-0), libkrb53 (>=
         1.6.dfsg.2), libldap-2.4-2 (>= 2.4.7), libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1),
         libpopt0 (>= 1.14), libtalloc1, libwbclient0 (>= 2:3.2.0), zlib1g
         (>= 1:1.1.4), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, libpam-runtime (>=
         0.76-13.1), libpam-modules, lsb-base (>= 3.0-6), procps,
         update-inetd, adduser

cd /tmp
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/m … -4_arm.deb
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/m … -4_arm.deb
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/m … .1_arm.deb
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/m … -6_arm.deb
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/m … -9_arm.deb
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/m … -5_arm.deb
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/m … -1_arm.deb
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/m … -1_arm.deb
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/m … -4_arm.deb


dpkg --install samba-common_3.0.28-2_arm.deb
dpkg --install samba_3.0.28-2_arm.deb
.
.
install rest of the packages...

Samba start fix:
make backup of /etc/samba/smb.conf
mv /etc/samba.conf /etc/samba.conf.bckp

Copy file used by NAS323 firmware to new samba location
cp /mnt/root/etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba

Now you can customize samba respecting paths in your file
Restart once again, check access to share etc...

@spricer: Thanks for the nice writeup. This should really go into the wiki! One question about Samba.

JediSthlm wrote:

Why do you need to wget the files. Don't apt-get work?

Prefference I guess and to be sure that I got latest package they have from http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

JediSthlm wrote:

And why install Samba this way, what are the benefits?

Well samba has much bigger potential then presented in original flash image (which you can control through web interface).
Enabled this (hacked) way original manual could be used:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Sam … Collection
Otherwise you are stuck what web interface has to offer...

@spicer: thanks for the writeup, that's just what I was looking for.
Does anyone know how to get apache working? I tried installing it using apt but it didnt work out because the webserver for the webgui was still running. Is there any way to keep the webgui and run apache?

bluebeer wrote:

are there any performance and memory consumption differences between the embedded samba or running it in debian?

Logic says no since you are killing one instance and starting another one. (colud be that newer version of samba have different "requirements" but "usually" newer version should bring better performance)
There are couple of things you can check by running first original samba then chroot-ed one (I would check this way):
Try to copy big file to NAS (e.g. 700 MB) and compare results from "top" command (memory, cpu).
Also you could compare times needed for file to be copied...

Hmm...to my knowledge I do not think you can use two applications that will use same port at same IP address.
I see here  couple of solutions:
-configure apache to listen on different port e.g 8080

-create vitual IP address and bind apache to new ip address then you can keep port 80
http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/network.htm (Setting up Second IP address or Virtual IP address in Debian)

-move "goahead" server port e.g. 81
http://dns323.kood.org/howto:ffp#lighttpd_web_server (plenty of useful info )

Question here is how much resource will apache "eat" since hardware is very "light" and apache is robust web server.
Goahead has unbelievable memory print of 60K:
http://goahead.com/products/webserver/default.aspx
Maybe you can consider lighthttpd:
http://www.lighttpd.net/

bluebeer I think you should start new topic regarding your question, otherwise people not interested in this one will never see your question...

Hi all,

Can't seem to get this chroot working with my DNS-343... chroot says Illegal instruction even when stepping the cmds from fun_plug one by one.

Can anyone confirm that they got this Debian working on a 343? I successfully installed this chroot Debian on a DNS-323, and wanted to try the same thing on my 343... sigh...

Guess I'll try Gentoo!

Cheers!
