How to make ssh settings permanent

[Zigster]

Hi bbsc,

yep, the label was gone after formatting:

blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="688c1470-1197-401f-ae9c-05d7b749c27f"

So, I relabeled it:

admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# tune2fs -L SDCARD /dev/sda1
tune2fs 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013)
admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# blkid
/dev/sda1: LABEL="SDCARD" UUID="688c1470-1197-401f-ae9c-05d7b749c27f"

After reboot:

admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)
devfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,noatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
/dev/mtdblock4 on /jffs type jffs2 (rw,noatime)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /tmp/opt type ext2 (rw,noatime)

weird...

Ok, now I see this problem too.
/jffs/scripts/services-start is executed while filesystems are not actually mounted via fstab.
To solve the problem add a small delay before mounting via services-start:

cat /jffs/scripts/services-start
#!/bin/sh
sleep 2
mount -obind /opt/home /tmp/home

Yes, I've had to add delays to most of my different scripts just because there are delays when mounting devices (both USB stick and cifs-mounts). Some delays are as long as 20 seconds.

Oh it's been a while since that problem arose ... just now, I stumbled upon that same problem again.

Could someone - for simplicity - please sum up a step-by-step procedure for saving ssh settings permanently on the internal SD-Card (and optionally also allowing to use ipkg at the same time ... that's what the problem is me right now) ?


Thanks,

Zigster

recap

Hi Forum,

here's the scripts I assembled with the help of bbsc:

fdisk -l

Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/sda1               1         960     3870688+ 83 Linux

blkid

/dev/sda1: LABEL="SDCARD" UUID="XXXXXXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ-AAAA-BBBBBBBBBBB"

/jffs/configs/fstab (chmod a+x)

LABEL=SDCARD             /tmp/opt        ext2            rw,noatime      1 1

/jffs/scripts/init-start (chmod a+x)

#!/bin/sh

mkdir -p /tmp/opt

/jffs/scripts/services-start (chmod a+x)

#!/bin/sh
sleep 2
mount -obind /opt/home /tmp/home

mount output after reboot is as follows (relevant only: /dev/sda1)

/dev/sda1 on /tmp/home type ext2 (rw,noatime)

Main Problem:

As soon as the router reboots I can't install ipkg (via Web-Interface: http://[router_ip]/APP_Installation.asp -> Install Download Master) ... No USB-Device detected.

But I'd need it to install openssh via ipkg.

Thank you for any hints on this.

[UPDATE]
I just deleted all partitions on the sdcard repartitioned and formatted and labeled the sdcard again...after adding the above jffs files I can say that at least the mounting is now working as mentioned by bbsc:

mount

/dev/sda1 on /tmp/opt type ext2 (rw,noatime)
/dev/sda1 on /tmp/home type ext2 (rw,noatime)

BUT:
Whenever I try to install the Download Manager via "USB-Application" -> "Download Master" -> "Install" I see the sdcard shortly
and then the message: "No USB disk detected." appears and the green USB Icon in the upper right goes off, and after a while it turns on again (with the same effect on retrying).

Is there something wrong with the sdcard ?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Thanks

Changed the sdcard in the internal reader ... to no prevail.

I'm at my wit's end.

@Zigster
Download master needs a storage device mounted under /tmp/mnt/...
If you create your own fstab the system mounts your storage device under the mountpoint you've selected - /tmp/opt in the case.
That's why all these asus automatic installers do not work.

Solutions:
1. Either install entware or optware manually.
2. Or mount your usb stick under /tmp/mnt/whatever-you-want and install download master. Change the commands "mount -obind ..." in /jffs/scripts/services-start.
