Yes, I know what usb control is. I just can see this breaking it. usb-otg-plugin does the same as usb control, but without the need for Python. And it's faster to access too.

I agree with ukki, usbcontrol just sends a echo line afaik. The one included with UKMP is the old one, get the standalone one, much newer.

my external hdd gives me a message 'file system not found' and mounting fails. it goes into host mode,and the read/write light on the drive flashes, says:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05e3:0702 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 2.0 IDE Adapter
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

i thought it was an ntfs thing so installed fuse and ntfs-3g and tried

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
and
mount -t ntfs-3g /media/usb/sda1 /mnt/windows

no luck.

btw my thumb drive and even creative muvo works great. the hdd has a y cable one going to a 4xAA power, seems to need abit of coaxing to spinn-up though.


Thanks! (i'm in awe of the wealth of knowledge here)

oh if anyone has tips about getting my irda usb dongle to work that would be cool:

That will not work. Busybox' mount doesn't seem to work that way. You should try:

mount.ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows

About usb control. Friend of mine had stability issues with this ntfs driver. Tablet rebooted after some copying to the ntfs drive. He uninstalled usb control and started using usb-otg-plugin and the problem went away. I haven't looked what usb control does differently, but I recommend using the plugin if you have stability issues.

Works Great! Thanks!

If you are in the bad habit as I was of just unplugging ntfs drives from windows without doing the safely remove hardware first, you will have trouble mounting as well. Just plug in to windows and remove hardware to mark the file system as safe for remounting.

I tried to upgrade the SSH packages (a new version was released), but it seems to be causing conflicts with sshfs. I'm not sure if this is your package? Here's the screenshot:



I'm going to go ahead and remove it, hopefully I can re-install it.

I have a coda based davfs2 working (also needed libneon), but it is supposed to also work with fuse.

Any way you would consider adding webdav?

It still works, but now I get the following:

hmmm.

NTFS support works very well for me! I've checked two NTFS drives. First was Maxtor 160GB portable, powered by additional USB plug, which I've tucked into laptop's USB socket, and the second one into my N810. Drive has been recognised straight away. Second HDD was Maxtor 320GB powered externally, which also has been picked up by ntfs-3g in N810 very well :) Big thanks for that additions.

This is my very first contribution to this forum, as I've had my N810 very shortly and I'm still exploring massive potential that device has, hence I think I'll visit these forums more often. :)
