Well, so much for USB support in the NET4801. The stick is detected on boot up but not mounted. If I unplug it and then plug it back in after bootup when the system is running then it gets detected and mounted as /dev/sda1. However, this still doesn't allow me to make any writes other than direct

I think that the OS is NOT picking up the USB stick for it's own use. I'll try the /dev/hda approach rather than /dev/sda but I thought the whole point of using s CF card and USB combo was that the CF card was write cycle limited as well as pretty slow. Have I spotted an "undocumented feature" h

I've just rebooted for the n'th time and careful scrolling back through the screen buffer shows the USB stick gets detected but somehow it's not mounted. Oddly though it works in other machines. I'm gonna try a different stick. Mark On Tue, 2008-10-14 at 10:10 -0400, Mark Phillips wrote: > Hi D

Hi Darrick, Yes, I have rebooted a number of times. I get this when I issue your command; pbx ~ # findfs LABEL=asturw findfs: Unable to resolve 'LABEL=asturw' pbx ~ # I'm running a 1gb CF card and a 512mb USB stick in a NET4801. The genunion script appears to run correctly. It doesn't bail

OK, I have runnix installed and also AstLinux too but I can't get it to write anything down. I've run genunion and it makes a keydisk of sorts but doesn't mount it anywhere so as to write to it (that I can see anyhow). Whenever I try to change the root password it fails to write to /etc/shadow. W
