Make sure it matches because linux is case sensitive and it will not map properly otherwise. Notice the SWAP and OPTWARE is capitalized like the label we made in the beginning using mke2fs and mkswap. echo '#device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#' > /etc/fstabД®cho 'LABEL=SWAP none swap sw 0 0' > /etc/fstabД®cho 'LABEL=OPTWARE /opt ext3 rw,nodev,noatime 1 1' > /etc/fstab I prefer this method only because should I choose not to use optware anymore, I donвЂ™t have to telnet/ssh in to remove the reference though it should have no ill effects left permanently. Instead of using вЂњvi /etc/fstabвЂќ and than doing вЂњnvramвЂќ via command line the easier solution is using the web interface and adding the following lines to вЂњadministrationвЂќ->вЂќscriptsвЂќ-> вЂњInit tabвЂќ. mke2fs -j -L OPTWARE /dev/sda1ДЄt this point we will follow tutorial with some slight modification with inf link: If you do this you need to make sure your fstab uses ext2 for optware as well. If using a flast drive you want to use ext2 to prolong itвЂ™s life and you simply use the following commands without the вЂњ-jвЂќ option which stands for journaling. Use the command вЂњ blkidвЂќ to check afterwards your label. If there is an error it probably automounted so make sure to unmount it again either in the router interface or via command prompt. Again there should be no errors with each command. I decided to make the labels all CAPS just to be consistant.

This is case sensitive as itвЂ™s linux router so itвЂ™s important you remember any caps or no caps with this code or the one you enter here. Now here is the important note which is the labeling. +368M # size of Optware partition in MB can be larger I followed the commands basically than from the link and used the following: fdisk /dev/sda # adjust for disk if necessary Finally my data which will be the rest of the drive. For swap since my router had 64M RamвЂ¦ double that which is 128M. I donвЂ™t think it should be that big so I used 368M. Now we go straight to a simplified configuration for your flash drive which is 3 partitions. select 1-4 the partitions to delete and save with вЂњwвЂќ. Type вЂњ fdisk -lвЂќ and Delete any partitions using вЂњfdisk /dev/sdaвЂќ enter вЂњd. From router http ip 192.168.1.1 Go to вЂњUSB and NASвЂќ -> вЂњUSB SupportвЂќ -> click on unmount at the bottom of any attached devices. If you insert a second drive next it would be /dev/sdb1 but donвЂ™t insert a second drive.

If you had 2 partitions there would be a /dev/sda2. In shibby most likely an inserted hard drive or flash drive will mount as /dev/sda1.

One of the problems I had was the 20gb drive had 2 partitions one 44M vfat drive that is hidden and the main partition with windows xp on it. Now you want to be familiar with fdisk cause thatвЂ™s what you use when you telnet or ssh into your router. So to begin I pretty much used the info from three links.

If you installed shibby you have all the tools in tomato to install optware without using gparted or a linux os. This would work on Belkin Share Max N300 as I used the same exact firmware as the wnr3500l. The second is the directions from is not the best while shibby is polish and I donвЂ™t remember seeing any guides so hereвЂ™s one if you are interested. I wanted to do a flash drive cause I had quite a few 1-4gb hanging around which is just perfect to handle some like torrents but since IвЂ™ll not seeding and downloading/moving/deleting quite often that IвЂ™ll stick with a old used 20gb laptop drive in an external enclosure.ДЇirst thing is the wnr3500l doesnвЂ™t seem to power my enclosure which is fine cause I was meaning to use a usb hub to extend the one available usb port.

Since I installed tomatousb shibby version on my netgear wnr3500l BT-VPN editionвЂ¦ I thought I should go through the trouble of setting up transmission properly with a portable usb drive. Files were located at /usr/sbin I am not using optware or entware since my router can utilize the AIO build but if you have an older router I would probably go back to optware since i'm familiar with it. If a package you absolutely need doesn't work quite right than you can use optware-install.sh which has been coded since v111. (install link directions but I have not verified however I think most apps should work now since it's been several months.

the entware-install.sh was coded into shibby firmware. This is generally depreciated in the sense that since version 116.
