Iomega ix2-200 and Squeezebox server

[BaRRoS]

Ops, I probably need to wipe out the whole disks as well. Because I followed blue light steps, and after that I deleted the /opt directory. But the problem remains the same when I then followed the white light steps.

BTW, could you let me know how to wipe the disks by using support.html page?

Many thanks.

Thinking about this problem I came across the ideia that updating the firmware may resolve the situation, if you havent updated to the latest (2.1.30) try that, if it work it will save you 8 hours of array rebuilding.

To reset the iomege just go to the support page where you enabled the ssh access and choose reset data protection. This took me 8 hours but after that the linux filesystem was like "factory default".

Good luck

I just got an ix2-200 and am wanting to install a full torrent client on the nas. I have tried the going to http://ip-address/support.html and am not able to find the link I need to enable remote support.

I log in the first time, because it redirects me to index.html. If I try to go to the support.html page again, it always redirects me to index.html and asksme to login.

Is there something I am missing to enable ssh?

EDIT:

I got the ssh enabled, going to support.html the second time you need https://ip-address/support.html.

Now that I have ssh access I logged in successfully and was trying to use the White-Light install instructions for optware. When I do:

--wget $feed/$ipk_name

I get an error that the file is not found.

--Resolving ipkg.nslu2-linux.org... 140.211.169.169
--Connecting to ipkg.nslu2-linux.org|140.211.169.169|:80... connected.
--HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
--2010-05-08 21:20:40 ERROR 404: Not Found.

Is this an issue anyone else has come across, or should I contact the myworldbook wiki about this?

Just to update, I did get everything working correctly with Transmission. I also managed to get FlexGet up and running to check an RSS feed for starting torrents.

Overall this NAS is working very well with minimal work customizing it.

I've followed all the steps on the tutorial, but when I run ldconfig I get this error:

"ldconfig: /usr/lib/libdb-4.5.so is not a symbolic link"

It seems like the path on ld.so.conf is being ignored.

Any ideas?

Startup resolved

Hi All,
just my little addon, it seems that /opt dir is not available during boot.
I'm still investigating, btw to check boot log edit /etc/default/bootlogd and change No to yes.
it will create the log file in var log but it will be delete after boot finished (still investigatin where-)
so i've changed in /etc/init.d/bootlogd
BOOTLOGD_OPTS="-r -c -l /etc/log/bootlog"

adding a new log file in etc dir (i now is not a clean solution-) but now i can debug boot.

soon more news

without editing the /etc/init.d/bootlogd the boot log can be found in /mnt/soho_storage/log

Finally!

Found a way to start daemons

modify the file /mnt/apps/usr/local/cfg/sohoProx.xml

modify the thumbnails part to point to a custom script
mine will call the /usr/local/thumbnails/thumbnails so that will call thumbnailer also.
<Program Name="thumbnails" Path="/etc/init.d/enhancements">
<Args>start</Args>
</Program>

the only problem is that this file is on a ro partition, to modify it do:

mknod -m0660 /dev/loop3 b 7 3
chown root.disk /dev/loop3
mkdir /tmp/apps
mount -o loop /boot/images/apps /tmp/apps

make a backup copy
cp /tmp/apps/usr/local/cfg/sohoProcs.xml /tmp/apps/usr/local/cfg/sohoProcs.xml.bk

modify /tmp/apps/usr/local/cfg/sohoProcs.xml

umount /tmp/apps
rm /dev/loop3


reboot and enjoy!!

Thank you LvX for your post!!

I succeed editing sohoProcs.xml and just replace thumbnails path with /dev/null and my iomega is now really quiet. I really don't care about thumbnails.

I have tried the going to http://ip-address/support.html and am not able to find the link I need to enable remote support.

I log in the first time, because it redirects me to index.html. If I try to go to the support.html page again, it always redirects me to index.html and asksme to login.

Is there something I am missing to enable ssh?

EDIT:

I got the ssh enabled, going to support.html the second time you need https://ip-address/support.html.

...it appears that they closed this back door on the ix2-200 cloud edition. Has anyone figured out how to re-open it?

Thanks!

I've wasted a lot of time trying to install SqueezeCenter on IOmega IX2-200, but finally have the simple solution

1. We need to access nas by ssh

2. copy apps directory (to solve read-only filesystem problem)
# cp -R /mnt/apps /mnt/system

3. next switch links to new filesystems
# cd /
# ln -f -s /mnt/system/apps/lib
# ln -f -s /mnt/system/apps/usr
# ln -f -s /mnt/system/apps/bin
# ln -f -s /mnt/system/apps/sbin

4. gain optware:
# export feed=http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable
# export ipk_name=`wget -qO- $feed/Packages | awk '/^Filename: ipkg-opt/ {print $2}'`
# wget $feed/$ipk_name
# tar -xOvzf $ipk_name ./data.tar.gz | tar -C / -xzvf -
# mkdir -p /opt/etc/ipkg
# echo "src cross $feed" > /opt/etc/ipkg/feeds.conf
# export PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH
# ipkg update

5. install squeezecenter
ipkg install squeezecenter

6. start it
/opt/etc/init.d/S99squeezecenter start

7. navigate to http://nas-ip:9000

8. listen to your favourite music!

wow congratulation!!!!!!!!!!! You are the King!!!!!

two questions:

what happens when i restart the IX2. Do I have to Start the Squeezeserver again?

ok Problem, my squeezeboxserver needs an update??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

yes - after restarting you have to start squeezecenter - but it's no problem to add starting script into init.d

At this moment unfortunatelly I have not idea for easy squeezeboxserver update

Could you please clarify what does the S99squeezecenter script contain? My ix2-200 Cloud Edition has the init.d directory in "/etc/init.d/" where the (ignored) scripts feed the "/etc/rcS.d/" directory.

If the "/etc/rcS.d" contents are ignored (which they are), how does your script run at startup? Rebooting restores the /mnt/apps and /mnt/system directories to default, so copying and symbolic linking is of no use.

The procedure regarding mounting the read-only partition screwed my NAS and had to restore the firmware, so I'm not really keen on giving it another go. How can they have made it sooooo hard to start up something?
