mk

wonderful - backup of Dennis's root partition to the #NAS is now also finished! (So I can now overwrite it all with a new install!) now I can sleep without worries, and maybe #tomorrow I'll install Linux Mint with Cinnamon (after backing up some settings of my Live session!).

mk

in other news: busybox makes me very unhappy - it seems I can never do the things I need to do (such as mounting a drive for a particular user) #NAS

mk mcscx

@mcscx what is the .2 and the .1 in that? FRITZ!box's IP is 192.168.178.1; btw, the LAN works: I just found I could connect to the #NAS via samba (at least I can see the shared folders)

mk

Enough poking around for today - my brain absorbed quite a lot of information, but I STILL don't know how the #NAS restricts login to root and admin only. It may actually be controlled by a specially-compiled sshd (?) - I can't think …

mk

OK, I just figured out that the start/stop/etc script for SSHS on the #NAS treats 'restart' and 'reload' the same: do a stop followed by a start (and stop does 'killall sshd'). I assume this is why any restart of sshd disconnects open…

mk

*sigh* I still haven't figured out just how the #NAS manages to limit SSH login to root and admin; the sshd_config file has the usual command to allow root - but nothing about allowing another user or denying other users - yet ssh doe…

mk lnxw48

@lnxw48 but doesn't that depend on how the start/stop/restart/etc script is written? I'm not sure I can actually change that since this is not a full serer but a #NAS box.

mk

embarking on writing my first 'real' bash script - learning by example: I know exactly *what* I want to do and search for example snippets that help me write it down ;-) #learning #NAS

mk

been soaking up information and now I (unavoidably) feel sleepy again; will resort to an energy drink and half an hour in my #hammock to let my brain fully absorb the info :) #NAS

mk mk

@mk System actually has longer lines that scroll but if I use something longer it just truncates. Still, a nice feature! #NAS

mk

oh, nice - you can write text to/on the #NAS's LCD panel (only on the AS-604T); that would be great as a non-destructive testing and debugging tool to use from scripts! e.g. does my script actually run at boot time? just look at the panel :) then add real functionality.

mk

got distracted by finding howtos for #ownCloud (in #NAS) and links to #Android apps - just browsing & bookmarking for now, but useful!

mk mk

@mk found another hint: it seems the whole /etc gets replaced on reboot (just what I suspected - and actually a good thing: if you mess up, at least a reboot will restore it to a usable system!). but I already found you can use a "local" etc directory. #NAS

mk mk

@mk hehe, another page I just found starts with "One of my problems on Asustor ADM is to find files." (that's why I have been poking aruond for days now to figure out what's where and how it works!); this page has a useful list of 'wh…

mk

!linux does anyone know how to list *connected* (not yet mounted) devices and include the volume label? most suggestions I've seen are not available because the #NAS uses busybox (no e2label, no mount -l); surely the information must be available somehow?

mk Grumble rumble , mk

@mk well, dammit, on reboot it mounts the thumb right back on /volume1/USB1 instead of what I specify in fstab :( well - duh - that is because on restart the #NAS *creates a new fstab* which doesn't have my extensions any more! !grrr

mk mk

@mk I am, of course, speaking of my #NAS here - for Debian on Nikola this isn't a problem... Also, on the #NAS there doesn't seem to be an udev implementation, so I'll *have* to use fstab (which I at first thought was ignored - but th…

mk Time Zone Appropriate Farewell , the federated universe

off to my #hammock now! good night !tzaf !fediverse! #tomorrow more struggles with the #NAS? I really want to be able to automate backups, syncs and snapshots! I've made surprisingly little progress so far :(

mk

well, I found a little file with a description of my little flash drive (including 'USB1" and its UUID) but I cannot find udev or a script that mounts the drive on USB1 instead of what's in fstab - and IO haven't found an alternative …

mk Grumble rumble

Damn - I just adapted /etc/fstab on the #NAS to let my little USB thumb appear in a pre-defined thumb drive ... and it has ABSOLUTELY no effect! Maybe there's another fstab in another location? (SSH config files are also in non-standard locations.) !grrr
