Safe USB "auto" unmount and torrent client - Guide

Hello all,

I have written some scripts and a guide for using torrent on the WNR3500L + Kong Mod.

The peculiarity of my scripts is that they allow you to safely unmount the USB drive by simply pressing the "WPS" button on the front of the router.

Also, the light on the button will be used as an indicator for the status of the drive.

I translated the guide to English just today (the original is in Italian, also posted in this forum) so I am pretty sure that there will be a lot of mistake in the translation, but I hope it will be comprehensible enough :)

Please let me know how it works for you :)

Very cool and the translation

Very cool and the translation is pretty good also.
If I wasn't running Tomato right now I would give it a go.
Anyone else tried it? I like the Transmission Torrent setup too.
Might just be a good reason to change over to it. :)

Hi Brandon, thank you :)

Hi Brandon, thank you :)
Some courageous folk tried it google-translating it from Italian, you can see their comments here:

I fixed the problems they reported and added some extra functionality from the "version" they tried.
They also report a problem about having to modify the permissions of "/opt" so they could write there.
I never encountered this problem (and I followed my own guide like 5 times already, on two different routers), but I think that was because of some mistakes with the Google translation.
I will soon add more components to the system (if I manage to get enough spare time); in particular I am working at adding a personal "smart" homepage using lighttpd + PHP5 + sqlite3.

I tried this out and I got

I tried this out and I got transmission to work, but I can't mount my NTFS partition. This is what I get when I try to mount:

root@DD-WRT:/# ntfs-3g /dev/discs/disc0/part2 /mnt
ntfs-3g-mount: fuse device is missing, try 'modprobe fuse' as root

 

And I installed ntfs-3g using ipkg-opt, but it still won't mount. And it's not listed when I enter in mount. I'm not really sure what's wrong.

EDIT: Nevermind. I decided to format it as ext3 and it works great. Good tutorial!
