So when you use it from you OpenWRT, you break it. Uhm... that's not consistent with my experience. When using XFS, it would usually go this way: 1) I boot OpenWRT's 2.6.30.10 with XFS root filesystem 2) I reboot (even if I unmount -- meaning, remount read-only -- the root fs!) 3) Linux 2.6.30 won't mount my root fs anymore because it's corrupted 4) I connect the drive to my x86 machine. 5) If my xfs driver module (on kernel 2.6.28-17) doesn't crash/hang when trying to mount it, run xfs_repair 6) If it does crash, reboot x86 in single mode and repeat 5) 7) Reconnect the drive to Lacie NAS board 8) Boot happily for a few times 9) Goto 3 > The simplest solution is to not use the XFS user partition. Anyway, I think > you should make your own partitions scheme. Uhm... I actually like Lacie's partition scheme and boot flow. I think it'd be nice to build a firmware image that is somehow backwards compatible with Lacie's. However, by the time I have that figured out copper wiring will be obsolete... :-) Best, Gerlando PS. Am I using the wrong mailing list for these topics? Should I be using OpenWRT's forum instead? _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
