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

Been having the same problems with not being able to move/delete downloaded folders as a lot of others, (was able to delete em through the telnet connection, thanks for that Toni!) and found out about the different file permission settings.

http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk//tasks/permissions_num.html

What i dont understand is why i can move and delete files, which are set at 664 by default i believe, but cant move and delete folders when i set those with the same settings or even with 777....

# correction, with 777 i was able to move, delete etc so that was a good fix for me#




any comments?

Hi,

most likely your temp directory is full (check you mlnet.log file in your mldonkey directory, for exact error message). Could you check, weather you set the TEMPDIR to be pointed to your HDD (export TEMPDIR... in your mlnet.sh)? I had this also, after a few downloads in case of large torrents... You can look back in this thread for the solution...

Have been running mldonkey for a month without any real issues. However for some reason now my downloads won't complete. I've looked at ShadowAndys site and I'm using his new mlnet.sh / downloads.ini and the latest verion of mldonkey. The files get down to the last couple of mb .. and then just rise and fall ( ie get down to 2mb then go back up to 4mb etc  etc).

The DNS is also running 3 copies of mlnet for some reason as well, although I'm not sure this is related.

Code:

Mem: 60576K used, 1372K free, 0K shrd, 10768K buff, 29828K cached
Load average: 0.23 0.24 0.19
  PID USER     STATUS   VSZ  PPID %CPU %MEM COMMAND
 3295 root     SW     10440     1  3.8 16.8 mlnet
 3334 root     RW      1424  2970  2.8  2.2 top
 2921 nobody   RW      3044  1224  0.9  4.9 smbd
 3301 root     SWN    10440  3300  0.0 16.8 mlnet
 3300 root     SW     10440  3295  0.0 16.8 mlnet
<snip>

Can anyone point me at where I can start to look to debug this ? I have looked at the last few lines in the mlnet.log but I can't see anything useful like 'exception'.

EDIT : This problem seems to related to specific torrents. I've just downloaded successfully some very small torrents ( < 5mb) and they completed no problems.

I 'think' I found out what the problem is, although I didn't think the torrents could be affected in this way due to it.

The NAS was getting its ip from the DHCP on the router, it had been reset around the time the problem had surfaced and consequently a new ip had been given. None of the port forwarding was now pointing at the NAS. I've now setup a static ip with the correct ports and have been downloading quite happily for a couple of days.

update. it seems like the segmentation fault issue doesn't happen all the time but most times it happens when started through fun_plug.

Another problem I'm having is related to permissions. I'm using the option -run_as_useruid to run mldonkey as a non-privileged user. I've made sure that I've chown all the files in the mldonkey directory to that user. I've also changed permissions to read/writable by the user and group. However, when mlnet starts, it seems to create new copies of all the ini files under the root:root user/group. [Opt] will then complain about permission problems when saving them. The core will then stop right after that.

Can anyone share some insights on this? Thanks.

Last night I grabbed Shadowandy's compiled MLdonkey 2.9.2 and installed it following his instructions. I had to look up the MLdonkey documentation to configure it the way I want to, but once that was done it has been working perfectly.
It's great when everything works smoothly. So this is just to report success :-) and to give credit to Shadowandy for the binaries and the (very clear) instructions.
