I know this is a BIG ask but any chance of a "from snake" 64MB RAM edition? 

For the few people that have upgraded there units to 64MB RAM? Not sure how 
many are out there now. There was never a "from-snake V1.2". So anything newer 
would be great. :-). Not sure there was ever a "from-snake" 1.2 32MB ram 
version....

Thanks,

D.

Hello,

I've just compiled this version with kernel config adjusted to 64M, but I don't 
have a device with that amount of RAM to test it.

Thank you very much for this work. Right now I'm testing on my system and
works without any problem.

Would it be possible to publish the SDK in order to make developments
parallel?

Greetings

RE: 64MB Ver. Thanks, Will load it in today and see how it goes. I know no one 
ended up taking me up on my offer of some 64MB Chips so they could mod there 
own units. Maybe i`m still the only 64MB out there (hope not). So thanks for 
the effort! 

Also, just in case some one trys to load a 64MB into a stock 32MB unit.. Maybe 
the 64MB versions should be in there own sub directory? Just a though.

Thanks heaps!!! :-)

Update on 64MB ver. Loads in fine. Runs. But..

Normal V 1.2 32MB was able to transfer alot of files via FTP at one go with no 
issues (Localy) Never tryed FTP via Internet. Once i went to 64MB i could never 
load a V 1.2 back in (there was no From-Snake V 1.2 32MB or 64MB). 

The same bug was in V 1.1.0 32MB or 64MB. I just assumed it was a bug with the 
older ver. 

But the same thing is in this version to. Basically the NAS stops responding 
after about 200-300 files. You can`t get into it`s WWW interface. It comes up 
with Time out / taking to long to respond errors. Any ideas? Is there any info 
i can provide you to help??

Only way to get it back is to pull the power.

64MB Update. FTP Issues seam to be 64MB related in this ver. Loaded the 32MB 
ver in. Work fine.. Just like V 1.2.0 did. At least that is one step forward!

Thanks!

I have the same problem when sending a large file about 100MB ISO to NAS via 
Samba.It started freezing when sending another large file. This problem 
starting form snake os V1.1.
Besides, the file transfer has been improved from last version. I observed the 
file transfer speed has been increased from ~2MB/s to 5MB/s in the new version. 
Also, the chinese characters still not supported in the new version. So 
disappointeed.

What i need in the future is that stable and chinese characters support in 
SAMBA and FTP. I only use SAMBA frequently in my home.

Original comment by ray.ray...@gmail.com on 4 Dec 2010 at 4:24

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I can report that I do NOT have any FTP and SAMBA file transfer problems. 
Everything works like a charm. 

Also the NAS seems more responsive than before when running a couple of 
torrents (e.g. 4-5). I've seen download speeds of over 1000 Kb/sec so it's 
rapid enough.

Please keep focusing on the main features! Optional packs are fine, but we need 
a stable base first!

Nice!!!
Works like a charm. Thanks a lot!

I've been trying to make the original SDK boot from USB.
My idea his to first try to boot from any USB device and if it can't to fall 
back (continue) to SnakeOS wich is already great.
I'm no programmer but I've been reading and it seems as easy as to alter a 
command line on UBOOT. The problem is I'm lost in the SDK and I haven't find it 
yet.

I took my ideia from http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Multi-Boot 
witch is a similar device that uses also UBOOT.

You seem to know a lot about compiling. Do you have any idea how to do that?

So has the freezing/pausing issue with SAMBA over wifi been resolved?

Original comment by vew...@googlemail.com on 7 Dec 2010 at 1:41

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have upgraded the version 1.3.2 last day. The problem happened again started 
from the V1.1
When i transfer a large file about 100MB, it initilized for 1~2 minutes (seems 
freezing) then sending the file to the NAS at 3.5MB/s. The problem is that, 
when i start transfer another files, the nas got permanently freezing without 
strating transfer file but it is able to response my ping command. It only 
happens on second transfer. Who can tell me what's happen? How can i solve the 
problem?

I am using NU-302S with str8132 CPU

Yes.

I am using WiFi on a MacBook Pro to a WR1043ND Router, then via Devolo 
Powerline adapters to my attic where my NAS is. I can transfer without any 
problems DVD images of 4.3 Gb via SMB and FTP.

I've had some FTP issues before, but after setting portforward 1020 - 1030 and 
port 20 - 21 to the NAS all FTP issues were history.

Original comment by lamlash...@gmail.com on 7 Dec 2010 at 8:38

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have tried this version and I am still experiencing freezing with SAMBA over 
wifi to my snake box, which I do *not* experience with another server on same 
network. Both the server and the snake box are wired to my 100BaseT router. The 
freezing can occur on files as small as 20mb. I also experience freezing when 
using ssh into the snake box. Running regular top or top -d 1 both produce the 
same freezing interval. After top freezes, I can start a separate new ssh 
session and get a login while the other session is still stalled. I haven't 
timed it, but it seems the stalled session takes longer than 30 seconds to 
recover.

Hope this helps...

FWIW, I have tried temporarily stopping cron, httpsvc and syslog to see if any 
of them was the offending time hog process. I also killed the initial dropbear 
session. SSH and SAMBA still freezes when they are stopped. I'm beginning to 
wonder if maybe it is a kernel or watchdog issue. Any thoughts?

I did see in the bootup logs:

CPU: FA526id(wb) [66015261] revision 1 (ARMv4)
kernel: Machine: STAR STR8100
kernel: Warning: bad configuration page, trying to continue
kernel: Ignoring unrecognised tag 0x00000000

Has anyone investigated this?

I still believe 1.3.2 is working good because:

- Uptime now over 3 days
- Downloaded >5 Gb (approx. 12 torrents)
- Transferred several Gb's via WIFI / LAN with SMB and FTP
- All options beside DDNS are running
- The NAS seems more responsive under heavy load(s). This maybe a feeling, but 
I guess the swapiness value of 100 may be the cause.

So I am happy with 1.3.2....

[GoogleCodeExporter]

OK, Martijn has indicated no problems using a Wireless 802.11N / gigabit 
router. I have an 802.11g / 100BaseT router and I am experiencing problems.

Can anyone else chime in that they are / are not having problems with using an 
802.11N type router. Or better yet, Can everyone chime in what type/grade of 
wireless router they are using and if they are having a problem or not?

Maybe this is a router issue after all.

Though as I said before, I have a server and a nas plugged into the same router 
and the server does not have *any* freezing problems with file transfers. So 
that leads me to believe it is a software (OS) issue.

Martijn, Have you ever SSH'd into the nas?

When you are transferring files, Does the program give you a real-time data 
rate (Kbps/Mbps) indication?  

BTW, Sorry for stepping on this new announcement thread with these issues. 
Maybe we should continue this discussion on the original Samba Freezing thread.

FYI: I have DD-WRT (http://www.dd-wrt.com) running as an alternative firmware 
in my TP-LINK WR1043ND router. The original TP-LINK firmware causes drops in my 
WiFi sometimes when using my Macbook. (also for my Wii).

It is a pitty that 

http://groups.google.com/group/dealextreme-nas-/browse_thread/thread/bc8d0ab3332
7956d#

was not implemented in this update. 

The point there is to replace code like
FILENAME=$(echo "$LINE" | cut -c 57-) 
and 
FILE_PROPERTIES=$(echo "$LINE" | cut -c -56) 
by 
FILENAME=${LINE:56} 
and 
FILE_PROPERTIES=${LINE:0:56}

So in all webpages of the nas where the $(echo | cut) construction is used, 
replace it by ${LINE:...}
This makes the pages *alot* faster.
Example pages are all the pages where a folder of the attached drive can be 
selected. Giving a list of the files in the folder is very slow at this moment. 
With this change it becomes alot faster. Examples are services, ftp, anonymous 
ftp folder or services, transmission, current torrent folder.

It would be nice if this could be added in a next version.

peno64,
is there any way to implemented this manually?
Hope that this can solve my problem with folder/file permission. 

Original comment by jimmyhh...@gmail.com on 2 Jan 2011 at 5:10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This has nothing to do with permissions on files or folders. Only with faster 
browsing on the attached disk on the USB from the web interface of the NAS.

Hi all!

After playing around with ssh tunnels with dropbear, I finally got a dropbear 
compiled with tunnel support.
In order to make it work, you will:

1. copy dropbear somewhere in your disk attached to your nas
2. enable telnet in your system
3. stop ssh service
4. connect through telnet
5. exec dropbear with the command: dropbear -a
6. that's it!

Now you should have a working dropbear with tunnel support 

Also, I got transmission 2.13 compiled. I got transmission compiled with 
libraries linked statically. So the executable is big 4.6M but it works ok.

I don't use the web interface. I use either transdroid or transmission-remote 
so, I think this version may not play well with the current webpages of 
transmission web. I'll check how I can make it use the new pages.
This is only the executable and it works ok. I'm usingit right now and it seem 
much more stable than 2.00

In order to use it, just copy the file to your usb. Note that you will have to 
pass configuration parameters for it to run. Something like that:
./transmission-daemon -g /var/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon -w 
/var/transmission -t -u admin -v <yourpassword> -a *.*.*.*

That's the default configuration. You may want to change the -g and -w 
parameters at first in order to check if everything works ok.  You may want to 
use the -f switch at first time to prevent it from going to background so you 
can check easily for errors.

I hope it helps.
