Hello,

I just upgraded the Kong Mod firmware and retry getting my USB drive connect.  I use the default /jffs mount to keep it simple.  The drive was recognized, but not mounted.  What should I do next?  Please help.  Thanks.

What is displayed on Services->USB->Disk Info?

November 10, 2010 8:13 AM updated: November 10, 2010 8:24 AM

It has all the information about the hard drive such as disk size, file system, etc... Except at the very end, it said "Status: Not nounted". I tried reboot the router, reset it with no change. Thanks.

OK I'll have a look at it. Have you tried to connect this drive to a windows machine and run a full filesystem check?

November 10, 2010 12:38 PM

I did it sometime ago. I can do it again today. What would be the proper way to unmount the drive so that I can remove the drive? Thanks.

November 11, 2010 6:44 AM

For NTFS the proper way right now would be to login kill -HUP all processes that access the drive and umount the drive. I'm adding this to my task list, the best way would be to control this process via the button on the front.

I recently changed the mount point on my Netgear W9R3500L to /mnt instead of the default /jffs, because at some point I couldn't see my files at all.

November 24, 2010 4:55 AM

Hello!
My device has not been actually recognised :(
Under the factory firmware it was working. What should I do to fix?

November 24, 2010 1:27 PM

Please show us the output of:

Services->USB->DiskInfo

also make sure you have my latest build 15758 installed the previous build had a bug which did not display the correct mount status

November 24, 2010 3:27 PM

I rebooted the router and it seems like it has been mounted

How can I see the drive from Windows7?

November 24, 2010 4:32 PM

Hi Pavel,

setup Samba under:

Services->NAS

and set "PATH to Files" to /mnt
set Samba to enable and Public Share to Enable

You may have to disable the homegroup feature as well, see:
http://www.myopenrouter.com/forum/thread/23611/Samba-and-Win-7-with-Kong-Mod/...

November 25, 2010 2:42 PM updated: November 25, 2010 2:48 PM

Any solution on the first comment (Status: Not mounted)? I have the same problem.

November 25, 2010 4:33 PM

He had an older build that didn't display the correct mount status for NTFS partitions.

P.S.EFI,GPT partitions are not supported

November 26, 2010 4:31 AM

Thank you, Kong! It has been working! One more little question: can I give FTP access to this share?

Yes, if you want access from WAN side (Internet) you have to add a firewall rule, like the one I mentioned here:

November 28, 2010 5:09 PM

I just upgraded from the standard DD-WRT build to the Kong mod in my attempt to set up the DLNA server.

Unfortunately, the router is not recognizing my USB hard drive.

Under Services -> USB I have enabled under USB Support:
Core USB Support
USB 2.0 Support
USB Storage Support
Automatic Drive Mount

The Disk Info section still says "Not Available"

My hard drive is a 500 GB Western Digital MyBook

Can anyone help me to get the router to recognize the drive?

Thank you,

Brandon Young

You dmesg output does not look good, seems like the drive is not responding correctly, do you use a self powered usb hub?

January 2, 2012 8:59 PM

WOW ----- The USB drive mounted but I could not "MAP" it in windows. So
turned off HomeGroup in windows 7

and following this thread I went to the
Services -> NAS -> Files Sharing -> Samba -> enable
Created a share using the next part of the SAMBA shares
-> "DATA" as the share name
-> Public = checked
->Access = Read/Write

->Users
-> my PC Login USer Name
-> a password just for this share
->Access Shares = DATA ----> from above in the create share

AND OMG-------- It Works ------

Kong you da Simian (da Man)

Thank you

Can anybody explain the reason of mounted disk drive name change everytime I plug it in and out?
First time it's plugged it names disk0-part1, then disk1-part1, then disk2-part1?
It is so inconvenient to rename it everytime in miniDLNA config.

This comes from the linux kernel if you don't reboot, can't do anything about it.

But if you want to make sure the partition is always mounted to the same location just set partition labels e.g. label the partition which holds the media files JFFS. After that this partition will always be mounted to /jffs and you can set the dlna path to /jffs/...

January 13, 2012 2:44 AM

Kong, how can I do it?
As far as I understand there are 2 places where partition label can be set:
1) USB settings - where exact label can be associated (but here partition name changes everytime I plug in/out flash drive)
2) DLNA server settings - here I can mention label/path and get rid of permanent renamings. But in your firmware I did not manage to make it work.

In other words - I use following scheme: Flash drive mounts on /tmp/mnt/disk0-part1, after that I write path in DLNA settings to video e.g. /tmp/mnt/disk0-part1/video ("video" folder is created on flash drive) whereas on USB page I leave all fileds blank.
Please explain what should I do in order to free myself up from accessing admin part of my router each time I take out flash drive?
