Hi
I have a MBW, and I'm thinking of buying a second MBW and put it in my parents house, and use RSYNC to keep a folder synchronised from MBW1 to MBW2.

I want to use this to keep my pictures safe in 2 seperate locations while those little buddies take care of keeping the same set of data on both locations :-)

1) Does anyone have this rsync feature running over the internet?
2) Do I need SSH?
I probably do for security .. but will this kill the performance so dramatically that this set-up is no longer an option?

Cheers!

2 MBW's synchronised over the Internet by fweijersfweijers, 1215551487|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I have only begun fooling around with mybook world.
I installed and ran mionet.
I quickly saw that I did not want mionet and uninstalled it.
Now i am stuck with the stupid IDXXXXXX folder and I have read that this will cause other problems.

How can I reset everything to factory and reformat the drive to factory settings?

Should have 4 partitions I think. Largest one is 400+G. How do you connect the drive to PC? SB? SATA? I can see all partitions in XP when connected with SATA.

Hello,

I am owner of a dead My Book World Edition II.

Does anyone know how I can recover my files by placing the 2 hdds to my desktop machine in RAID 0 as I have them configured on the My Book World Edition II NAS (1TB).

Each hdd has 4 linux partitions.

I didnt lost my files but I dont know how to access them in linux. Is there anybody that can tell me the procedure ? If I can access them in Linux I will be able to transfer them to another NAS of mine through the network.

Thank you

Anyone? Really need some help. Is there something to do? Shouldn't it be more partitions?

Ok, here is the error log I got:

There are 2 things I can see that might be wrong. One is the line that says "Unable to open listen socket…..", and then it says on 2 lines that it is listening on 127.0.0.1:631. That's not my MBWE's IP, it is 192.168.0.5. Could that be the problem, and any ideas on how to fix it?

I am using IE 7 and FF 3. I've tried with both of them, but for some reason, the latest versions of these browsers don't give error codes any more for some reason, I just get "Page cannot be displayed" for IE, and "Failed to connect" for FF.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

Hi :)
Here is my problem:
When I try to open a file located on my MBWE with gEdit, it does not work 95% of the time (it can work once with one file, then don't with the same one, etc, it seems to work randomly once a week ^^)
I got an internal error
When I try to open those files with scite or open office, it works perfectly…
The files are not protected and I have full rights on them.
Any ideas???

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a second MBW,
put it at my parent's house,
and use rsync to have my pictures backed up and residing in two seperate physical locations. Rsync will keep both folders synchronised.

Questions:
will this set up work?
Do I need ssh?

My upload is 1Mbps, my dad's upload is approx 512 kbps.

Thanks for your advice!

Re: Help on rsync by fweijersfweijers, 1215528460|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hi , I have successfully removed Mionet, and now i access my Mybook remotely using the Web Server.
(i allowed browsing on my web site.)

But i cannot upload , remove , or move files.

Does someone knows a simple ( As fast as possible) php File Manager applet that could run easily on php server ( low memory and low cpu…) ?
Or a perl-cgi script that i would include in the Admin site of Web Server ?
it is not needed to be beautifull, just simple and fast…

i killed MIONET because it was so slow….
Thanks for your feedbacks,

I agree with you, the first ssh hack should be hosted in this wiki.
It is not needed to have a php server,
a simple html page containing the following code in the wiki should be enough…

<a href=\"http://<Url of wiki>/configssh.sh\">firmware</a>

You could keep a line in the tutorial to reference the original site, so that the author will still be identified?

It seems like the MBWE is spinning up. I check the activity, and it seems smbd.log is keep updating in /var/log directory. is there a way to force the system to log into a ramdisk? I have been suscessful in changing/rerouting all other log files to ramdisk. This seems to be the last one.

Thanks,

You need to use level=linear rather than level=0 (raid0 is striping mode, not linear mode).

Check if cupsd is running:

# ps aux|grep cups

Check the error log:

tail -n 20 /var/log/cups/error_log

Check the access log:

tail -n 20 /var/log/cups/access_log

Is the "Page cannot be displayed" error originating from the browser? Is there an error code associated with it (e.g. 403-forbidden 404-no page exists)

Is there any reason we are not hosting our own ssh hack from the wiki?

Martin's script was great for the first couple months but surely we can cook up a better one here?

Who owns this site: www.mybook-linux.co.nr ? Can anyone confirm that this hack does indeed work with the latest firmware version? Would we be able to get permission to host it from here as well, or at least copy the instructions to our first steps page.

by alephsmithalephsmith, 1215475969|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

connection refused

Means that the ssh daemon isn't started i.e. the hack has no been applied. The line in Martin's script is /usr/sbin/sshd.
Have you actually tried the other hack? On the FAQ page for that hack there is the following:

Q: No New Firmware Available.
A: "No new firmware available" is caused by the failure of MyBook to fetch the upgrade script. Try to reboot MyBook and run the firmware upgrade process again.

Also you may like to try enabling telnet instead if you have no luck with ssh.

I have an unmodified mybookworld 500 gb. It doesn't show up on the network anymore. It started to hang it self and when I unplugged it it worked for a while. I managed to get almost 10 gb of files from it but now it doesn't seems to work anymore. The blue lights are on and the harddrive seems to work. I put the harddrive in my PC with Ubuntu (when using Vista it doesn't show up at all). I found only one partition that was 1 GB in size. I think there should be more. Please help me if you can.

Recover all my files by ottoangelottoangel, 1215472060|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hi frater,

According to the howto I can do everything until applying martin's firmware link, error "no firmware available" appears, anyway the latest firmware is yet applied by executing /usr/www/nbin/getandapplyfw.sh before to reseting the disk pressing the recovery button as you told me, the only thing I need is enabling ssh in mybookworld…

I cannot log into mbw using ssh using root, ROOT, WORLDBOOK (I've created it) or whatever, port 22, connection refused

I have downloaded martin's hinner script (http://martin.hinner.info/mybook/files/latestfw.sh) and this is what it does:

echo '#!/bin/sh' >/var/upgrade/upgrade1.sh
chmod 755 /var/upgrade/upgrade1.sh

KEYGEN=/usr/bin/ssh-keygen
SSHD=/usr/sbin/sshd
RSA1_KEY=/etc/ssh_host_key
RSA_KEY=/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
DSA_KEY=/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key

do_rsa1_keygen() {
if [ ! -s $RSA1_KEY ]; then
echo -n $"Generating SSH1 RSA host key: "
if $KEYGEN -q -t rsa1 -f $RSA1_KEY -C '' -N '' >&/dev/null; then
chmod 600 $RSA1_KEY
chmod 644 $RSA1_KEY.pub
echo
else
echo
exit 1
fi
fi
}

do_rsa_keygen() {
if [ ! -s $RSA_KEY ]; then
echo -n $"Generating SSH2 RSA host key: "
if $KEYGEN -q -t rsa -f $RSA_KEY -C '' -N '' >&/dev/null; then
chmod 600 $RSA_KEY
chmod 644 $RSA_KEY.pub
echo
else
echo
exit 1
fi
fi
}

do_rsa1_keygen
do_rsa_keygen

/usr/bin/passwd -d root

/usr/sbin/sshd &

rm -f /tmp/active_upgrade

exit 0

Any ideas to enable ssh access on myworldbook?

Thanks.
