Re: usb-mass-storage, data corruption, QtMoko v26
> btw I'm not sure if this is acceptable by OSes others than linux, because in > this way we expose a storage without a partition table. > (I'll check this on a windows computer asap) ok, sorry... I was away from any kind of windows pc :P now I can confirm this fix is ok and my phone is viewed as a regular single partition usb mass storage (atleast in win XP and Linux) so the fix is: !!!-> I assume /dev/mmcblk0p1 being the fat32 partition used as storage /opt/qtmoko/bin/usb-mass-storage-on.sh [begin] #!/bin/sh DEV_NAME=/dev/mmcblk0p1 ifdown usb0 # sync all buffers sync ; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches umount ${DEV_NAME} rmmod g_ether modprobe g_file_storage file=${DEV_NAME} stall=0 removable=y [End.Of.File] in my /etc/fstab I've this line: /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card auto defaults 0 0 and /dev/mmcblk0p2 / autodefaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 1 instead of the "rootfs" one. (yes, my qtmoko is on the second partition of uSD and I've qi bootloader) [I've also a swap on /dev/mmcblk0p3 but it's another topic] and in my /home/root/Documents/ I have a symlink like: card -> /media/card/ so I can see its contents in qtmoko documents (remember the "Rescan System" option in menu!!) - with this modification you can start the mass storage (USB mass storage on) an your /media/card data will be visible as an usb stick. - it will be unmounted in qtmoko untill you select "USB mass storage off" in qtmoko. - your qtmoko will not corrupt the uSD. - you'll be able to use your phone as always and you can also forget to switch the storage off (but meanwhile you cannot do ssh or ip connection via usb cable or read your /media/card inside qtmoko) I suggest to Radek (and all the community in general) to review this fix and possibly include it in the next release of qtmoko or asap. (data corruption is not a nice thing) if something is unclear, here I am! ;) kind regards, a.

I see qtmoko exports also the rootfs and imho it's not good because if I forget to switch off the usb storage ... it's bad for the whole system. the question is: how I can configure qtmoko to use only a specific partition? eg the one mounted on /media/card only? tnx. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

qtmoko apt sources.list configuration
hi i think it's not a good thing to hardcode the german apt mirror for the standard configuration in the mass qtmoko distribution: - almost every user will not configure the sources.list - it's not always the best choice, eg if you are not in europe - we could weigh down the .de mirrors (ok, maybe one day everyone in the world will have a FR with qtmoko ;D ) what about apt-spy? http://www.debianadmin.com/check-debian-archive-mirrors-bandwidth-using-apt-spy.html imho we should automatically run it before apt-update in R(apt)or... what do you think about this? bye ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
