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

Hi all,
I had installed the d-link BT client, but never used it. I didnt like the way it was controlled.
I have 1 TB installed on left bay, and I run the ffp pack with SSH and I installed transmission. Everything was working good!
Now I just added 1 TB drive into the right bay. But then my network was going down because of traffic, I found out it was because of the d-link torrrent client, so I deleted the folder called /Nas_Prog/, then it all is looking ok again.
But then I found out that I cant login into ssh and the transmission dose not work anymore??
Has something happend to my ffp install?? should i delete the folder and restart again or ??
ffp are installed on Volume_1 (left bay)
Volume_2 (right bay) is empty
Can someone help me? what to do?

This is not documented well, but the right drive bay is considered the "A disk", or HD_a, and the left bay is HD_b. If you had put your first drive in the right bay first and added the second one to the left bay later, it would have worked ok.
The firmware always looks for fun_plug on the A disk. When you had only one disk in the left bay, it was the A disk and so it found fun_plug. When you put in new disk in the right bay, it became the A disk and of course the firmware did not find the fun_plug.
You might try just swapping the two disks.
If that scares you (you need to make sure that you can restore your data if both disks get zonked), then you might try reinstalling ffp on Volume_2, reboot, and reconfig everything. You could then delete the ffp stuff on Volume_1.
I don't think that you can just copy the ffp folder and fun_plug from Volume_1 to Volume_2 via the share, because file permissions won't be preserved.
Because of the order you did things, the disk that the DNS considers as the B disk in the left bay got labeled Volume 1 and the A disk in the right bay got labeled Volume 2. Unless you swap the disks, you'll just have to think of the labeling as backwards going forward. The samba "labeling" is persistent and is stored in /mnt/HD_a4/.systemfile and /mnt/HD_b4/.systemfile in a couple of files named .smb*.
But I think that if you swap the disks, Volume 1 would become the A disk in the righthand bay, since the samba label would stay with the disk. And that would be good. I would try swapping the disks, as I think it would make ffp run again and keep the disk shares labeled correctly.
I don't think anything bad will happen, but again, make sure you have a backup.

Copying the ffp directory via telnet/ssh should work and you can maintain permissions. Worst case, a reinstall then copy the etc and start folders would likely cover most of your customization assuming you followed the standard practices.

A search would have revealed that this is a "known problem" and the solution is to simply swap the drives around.

Did the same thing yesterday. Swapped drives and back to normal ffp.
