I am unable to mount several drives. I receive random errors from the reporting
devices (all I/O errors).
The Samba version 2.2.12, as well as prior versions, have a known bug: when
Samba acts as a client and tries to mount several drives in parallel, a race
condition may occur when trying to lock the mtab file. Perform the mounts in
serial, and avoid parallel mounting in the client.
Do I have the ability to launch Linux applications from a mounted drive that is
connected to the USB ports? If so, how do I launch the application that I have
installed on the drive?
It is not possible to launch the application from the USB mounted drive, as
the file system is mounted to OpenRG with a 'no execution' option set for
security reasons. In case you would like to load your application to the
board, you will first have to compile it using the target compiler (provided
with the SDK), and then load it to the box using tftp.
The loading process should look like this (from OpenRG's CLI):
OpenRG> shell
# tftp get [your tftp server IP address]:[app. name] [local app. name] # chmod +x [local app. name] ./[local app. name] |
