DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Samba comes with the firmware and not funplug. There is a wishlist for the 1.07 firmware at the official dlink forums (which this is not).

Don't get your hopes up. They JUST upgraded from the 2.x version. Pretty sure your request won't happen but who knows.

PS: It's untested, and I leave the older version online until you confirm that this version works properly.

BTW 3.3.2 compiles pretty easily on the DNS323 if you have all of the FFP packages installed and want to get it done yourself. See this thread for one workaround: http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3679-Jeff

I have been imposing an awful lot lately and should take a closer look at how to obtain and compile the source code for Samba and Network UPS Tools. Thanks for the link. I'll give the content a read to see if I understand how to move forward in this regard.

The simpler way is to get the subversion repository (see ffp howto). All I did was to modify the samba version in source/samba/PV, and run ./Make -F samba (to download the new source tarball), and ./Make samba to compile the package.

I'm learning a lot and making out reasonably well however I've run into a little issue I can't find a solution for;

distcc is a mechanism to speed up compilation by using additional computers on the network. I recommend you disable
distcc by removing source/Conf.d/build-env/distcc.sh, which will stop the messages.

Great News; removing that file solved the error problem! I've now built my first DNS323 package for ffp 

fonz wrote:

Did you install binutils (contains the ar program)?

binutils is one of many packages installed on Monday while attempting to set up an environment on the DNS323. I have a sneaking suspicion that an rsync job that syncs a USB install of ffp with an /mnt/HD_a2 install may have botched a few files and thus caused the ar error. After removing the above noted file an attempt was made to build the samba package. Make failed with an error indicating a problem existed with "grep" (The absence thereof). I'd seen this problem once before and knew that grep wasn't (properly?) installed so I reinstalled it along with binutils.

The only question I have now is why it took almost 2 1/2 hours to Make the package?  Is the amount of time considered normal? If not, how can I go about improving the build time?

System config:

- ffp runs off a USB drive

Samba is one of the biggest packages in ffp. Build time on my DNS was about 2h. This is due to the low amount of memory in the DNS-323. It needs to swap a lot, and that's really slow.

.... you will cut compilation time dramatically if you cross-compile, or you could also shutdown all of the services that you don't need while you are compiling and restart them once done.

Shutting down services is indeed an alternate solution although my preference would be to leverage the "horsepower" of another computer through cross-compiling. Being a linux newbie and not knowing much about compiling programs I must ask (Please hold your laughter until after you've replied); can I cross-compile using a Windows based PC?

Perhaps using a virtual machine under windows?

You can install VirtualBox, or qemu, or vmware, or virtualpc (some free other costless) in windows, than install linux on it. Simple and fast.

You can even download prebuild linux images for some of those virtual machines -- no linux instalation needed.

Now there's a thought! If I'm unsuccessful with CygWin I'll give this a try.

I found out another nice thing about the new samba version. It opens file and folder handles only when somebody is actually accessing the data.

"lsof | grep HD" doesn't show anything anymore when the samba process is idle. The old version always kept "/mnt/HD_x" open.

Update: I added to the smb.conf file "smb passwd file = /ffp/etc/samba/smbpasswd" after copying smbpasswd from /etc/samba/

If you store the smbpasswd file in the /ffp/etc/samba/private directory the additional configuration line shouldn't be required.

More frustrating, I can't seem to start samba 3.3.2 via a ffp/start/samba.sh script at boot. I inserted "smb stop" and "killall nmbd" before "/ffp/start/samba.sh start" but ffp.log shows:

* /ffp/start/samba.sh ...
$Shutting down SMB services:
$Shutting down NMB services:
WARNING: smbd: Already running
WARNING: nmbd: Already running

And nothing about starting the new samba. "PS" after boot shows no samba server running. Any suggestions?

Update: I placed the "/usr/bin/smb stop" line in fun_plug.init and a reboot. Process shows the correct samba running. Whew!

I've just replaced my Samba with the FFP version and found adding a sleep command to start section in /ffp/start/samba.sh works quite well. This means you don't need to modify fun_plug.init, and if you ever disable the ffp samba version the firmware one keeps on working (e.g. an upgrade script).

samba_start()
{
    /usr/bin/smb stop
    sleep 5s
    proc_start /ffp/sbin/smbd
    proc_start /ffp/sbin/nmbd
}

from ffp.log:
* /ffp/start/samba.sh ...
$Shutting down SMB services:
$Shutting down NMB services:
Starting /ffp/sbin/smbd -D
Starting /ffp/sbin/nmbd -D
* /ffp/start/rsyncd.sh
