Embedded on flash card error

[jayze]

Hi,


I have some problems getting Nas4Free to work properly.


I have installed the latest version on a compact flash card with the live CD. Everything went fine.

When i boot on the card, nas4free boots correctly.

But it seems that i cannot make any changes whatsoever on it. Either via Shell or Web Interface.


Via shell, it tells me that it is a read only system.

Via Web, i get this when i try a "save": Warning: file_get_contents(/conf/config.xml): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/inc/xmlparse.inc on line 145 Error: could not open XML input
I suspect a readonly error on this one too.

When i get the error, i cannot access the interface anymore until i reboot.

And if i reboot, the changes i made are still there!

Any ideas?

strange, your CF is in a CF2IDE adapter?, revise that do not have any switch to protect writes ( read only). revise option in BIOS to protect write to IDE Disk ( Your CF)

Do you install full or embeded?.

we use a sd-ada40001 CF to sata2 adapter , no switch or anything on the card.

I used the option embedded OS.

Nothing strange in the bios

my guess would be to edit fstab to mount with the RW option, but i don't know if it's the good way out.

post your log, sometimes , when OS detect an error and is improper shutdown, mount partition in read only mode to protect it, you need to fsck and revert to rw when correct.

fsck returns "clean"


heres system.log

sorry I never see a log and hardware like yours, perhaps you need help from others gurus.

I think that important lines are:

Code: Select all

But nothing strange here.

try to use an old IDE disk to install N4F to discard Phisical problems in CF, but I dont really thing that CF are the problem.
