Media Server faster then the USB 3.0 mount....

[Speedy1205]

Hi Guys,

not sure if someone saw the issue before. I have a USB 3.0 Disk connected to the USB 3.0 Port. When I restart the router then the Media Server (dlna) is starting faster then the Mount of the DISK and because of this, the disk gets mounted to a different location (ESB-CM(1) ) which makes thinks difficult :-( Any Ideas what could happened ?

I believe that the DLNA Server is writing the database before the mount.... is there a way to stop and start the Media Server manually ?

That only happens to me if the router is not rebooted properly. by that I mean rebooted using the power button no the GUI.

It is a known problem..
It happens to me, too.
Also reeboting through interface.

I have to disable DLNA, reboot, Re-enable DLNA.

Don't know why it isn't fixed yet.. it should be very very simple.. just a delay in DLNA start..

Merlin.. I know you don't like messing up with Asus USB functions.. but it would be great if you fix that..

If you want you can use this script which I use. In the GUI I just left Media Server disabled and I run the script which will not screw up my mount points:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 2m
datestr=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
ps=/jffs/ps
# date used to add to the log file (append) so all the logs will be collected with the date and time no log overwriting....

if grep ESB-TB /etc/mtab &>/dev/null; then
echo $datestr "USB disk for ESB-TB is mounted for media server operation" >> /tmp/syslog.log
else exit
fi

/bin/ps > $ps
if
grep minidlna /jffs/ps &>/dev/null; then
echo $datestr "minidlna server is already started and is not using its new configuration" >> /tmp/syslog.log
else
/usr/sbin/minidlna -f /tmp/mnt/ESB-TB/TB-DISK/Scripts/minidlna.conf -R
fi
rm $ps

I just added this in the /jffs/script/post-mount
like this: sh /mnt/ESB-TB/TB-DISK/Scripts/mini_dlna_start.sh &

this works fine now.... If you have some question....

Interesting..

/bin/ps > $ps

grep minidlna /jffs/ps &>/dev/null; then
echo $datestr "minidlna server is already started and is not using its new configuration" >> /tmp/syslog.log

I have not really understand how to use it..
Do I have to name it post.mount and put in scripts?
Than I only have to replace HDD mount point with mine?

I don't understand this "sh /mnt/ESB-TB/TB-DISK/Scripts/mini_dlna_start.sh &"

ok here a bit more details:

Maybe you have the file or you need to create it:

create the file:

touch /jffs/scripts/post-mount

will create the file when it isn't there yet.

the content of my file is:

#!/bin/sh
sleep 5
[B]sh /mnt/ESB-TB/TB-DISK/Scripts/mini_dlna_start.sh &[/B]

So well that's just telling that the script should wait 5 Minutes and than execute the the script for DLNA where you have to change the mount point for you script location.

You need to change this:

if grep ESB-TB /etc/mtab &>/dev/null; then

you have to replace the ESB-TB with the mount point your USB disk uses

and

/usr/sbin/minidlna -f /tmp/mnt/ESB-TB/TB-DISK/Scripts/minidlna.conf -R

where you need to change the path.

If you want you also can just copy paste the complete text into the /jffs/scripts/post-mount which will work also. I just have mine in a different location that's why I add there just to execute the script with the location.

Its up 2 you.
