Posted: Thu May 21, 2015 1:47 Post subject: Installing Transmission on USB thumb drive
Hi all,
Router Model Netgear R7000
Firmware Version DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/23/15) kongac - build 26500M
Kernel Version Linux 3.10.72 #360 SMP Mon Mar 23 00:13:20 CET 2015 armv7l
This is where I got so far when I try to install Transmission.
When I issue command:root@DD-WRT:~# mount
Code:
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw,relatime)
none on /dev type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=512K)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)
devpts on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda1 on /opt type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue)
/dev/sda3 on /tmp/mnt/sda3 type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue)
/dev/sdb5 on /tmp/mnt/sdb5 type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=writeback)
/dev/sdb5 on /tmp/proftpd/users/gil/Tv type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=writeback)
ramfs on /tmp/proftpd/users/gil/Root type ramfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda3 on /tmp/proftpd/users/gil/USB type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue)
So you can see that /opt is mounted
/dev/sda1 on /opt type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue)
the USB has three partitions:
1 - Optware which is 512MB and EXT2 /dev/sda1
2 - Swapfile which is 32MB and linux-swap /dev/sda2
3 - Data which is the rest of the USB and it's EXT /dev/sda3
on the router I used the UUID of sda1 on the /opt
I'm not sure if it's correct.
I also didn't create jffs partition
How do I proceed from here?
I think I need to install Optware first but I couldn't find any guide that actually works.
I either get
ipkg update
sh: 10000: unknown operand
ipkg update
Creating list dir: /jffs/usr/lib/ipkg/lists
mkdir: can't create directory '/jffs/usr/': Read-only file system
and see others report a good flash on your device (or another ARM device whose BIN file has the same MD5 as your R7000 file, i.e. R6300v2), there is little to no risk of using a BS/Main SVN build.
same md5:
The web repo uses symlinks to put device names in the download file names in an attempt to "idiot proof" things. see image for detail example on how the EA6700 and R6300v2 bin files as downloaded from the main web repo are actually identical.
original entware thread/discussion deleted, but going with someone's pre-compiled binaries/scripts might be worth looking into. plus everyone loves package management.
i.e. they appear to have all the "bits" for transmission available for your ARM device.

Hi mate.
Sorry to say but half of what you wrote I couldn't understand.
I followed the link to install entwere but it doesn't work.
It doesn't know what is wget -c it failed on this.
Also, it cannot mount sda1
When I type mount it only lists sda3
Is possible to Skype and I'll give the access to my router to trouble shoot this?
I want to learn how to this by myself. I don't just want to install BS build.
Using USB storage
Prepare a usb flash disk with 3 partitions 512MB swap + 2 partitions ext2/ext3 or ext4. Enable USB Storage and mount one partition to /jffs, the other to /opt, by using the uuids which are shown in disk info. Note: if you use this method, you do NOT need to enable JFFS2 support in the GUI. That's for putting the JFFS partition on the internal flash.
Now you will need to prepare the drive and format/partition it. The following images illustrate the procedure (UPDATE the Minimum size for Optware should be 512MB) Also the JFFS partition is NOT needed for USB users, only MMC users. If you add the JFFS partition to your USB device and post in the forums regarding an issue, you will not be answered!!!!:
so do I need JFFS or not?
If I do need, what's the size?
I did 32MB for linux-swap
512MB for Optware
the rest of the USB is data.
