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

I've cobbled together a script to insert usbstorage and ntfs.ko and mount all USB drives currently attached to the DNS-323 as an additional start item for fonz's great fun_plug. I'm using .5 on 1.04 at the moment, but I really can't see any reason why it wouldn't work elsewhere provided you use the right usb-storage.ko and ntfs.ko modules for your respective kernels.  I take little credit for this script, as much of it was lifted from other (documented in the script) places, I just wanted it for me but thought that I'd share.

Notes:

Your (you provide) usb-storage.ko and ntfs.ko files should be in the standard directory for fonz's script:  /ffp/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/   The $(uname -r) portion for the linux-less out there means your kernel version.  If you don't know it, type "uname -r" (without ""s) at a telnet prompt to find it out, create the directory accordingly.  If you upgrade firmware, there's a good chance your kernel may upgrade as well, 'breaking' the script intentionally until you get a proper version of the .ko files for the new kernel.

In playing around here, I've got a few usb hubs, some of which the DNS likes and some of which it doesn't.  For some reason if it doesn't like the USB hub attached, running fdisk -l will hang, making the script appear to quit.  Before making this autostart, it is HIGHLY advised that you test your particular hardware by manually starting the script.  If it doesnt like your hub or hardware, that's an issue with the kernel driver...

To make this start up automatically, it works just like any other fonz startup

cd/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/start
chmod a+x usb_all.sh


**If you only have a single drive in your DNS-323, you can edit the script to remove the filter for /sdb, it's documented in the script.  Just remember as with any script, either use vi if you know how in the telnet session, or edit it with something like Notepad2 or another program that allows saving files in unix format (CR, not CR+LF). **

...
or to start/stop/status, same thing:

cd /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/start
sh ./usb_all.sh start
sh ./usb_all.sh stop
sh ./usb_all.sh status


Instructions:

Drop usb_all.sh in /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/start
download proper kernel modules (usb-storage.sh and ntfs.ko if you need it)
TEST YOUR EQUIPMENT FOR COMPATIBILITY by typing
sh /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/start/usb_all.sh start

if you get a prompt back, it's good.  It will also tell you the drives it mounted to /mnt/HD_a2/{DRIVE}
If it just 'hangs', it's not compatible.  CTRL+[ will escape from microsoft telnet, then quit, then try other hardware

Once successfully tested, chmod a+x /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/start/usb_all.sh to autostart.

I was able to test FAT formatted and EXT2 formatted drives, but I don't have any HFS or NTFS drives, if they don't work please let me know!
