Problem mounting USB storage Omega2+

Claudie — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 06:57:06 GMT

I'm a newer user to Arch and Linux in general. I've got a pretty robust installation running on my computer with Fluxbox, PCManFM and SLiM for the graphical side (if these matter). Everything's running pretty well at the moment except I'd like to be able to auto-mount USB storage devices. Without adding the udev rule as mentioned here (because I would like the mounting to persist through a terminal window popping open), what's the best way to have things auto-mount like they do in Ubuntu or Windows? By this I mean I would plug in a USB flash drive and it'd automatically be mounted to somewhere like /media// and any user (or the one running x? or something) would have permissions to view/edit/execute.

@sabhay-sardana have you looked at SAMBA? I haven't tried it on Onion but it is available for OpenWrt. Take a look at this link: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/nas/usb-storage-samba-webinterface Luci is just a web interface but you can configure SAMBA manually. You could also use NFS.

@David-Vo Look at this and this if you have errors regarding a kernel version mismatch for the kmod-fs-ext4 package.

Omega2 NAS + passthrough USB Storage?

David Lima Cohen — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 18:00:58 GMT

Hi! I'm wondering if I could setup my Omega2 so that I can attach some storage to it, access its files remotely AND feed those contents (to a TV) via USB. It should be something like: [PC/remote source] -- Network -> [O2] -- USB -> [USB storage] -- USB -> [TV]

Could this be possible? If so, I'd appreciate some orientation.

Thank you all, cheers!

Post some logs when it's restarting, otherwise it'll be hard to guess.

How to install packages to SD card?

ExplosiveSoda — Sun, 15 Jan 2017 08:06:44 GMT

Basically I need Python 2.7 and Python 3 for various scripts that I have. I can't have them both installed on my omega with all of the libraries needed. How can I install packages to my SD card?
I created a partition on my SD card in ext4 to access it but haven't been able to install anything to it.

Edit: So I did an extroot with pivot-overlay and now there is an overlay directory with, what it seems, a copy of root and some other directories. When I install new packages they do appear in /overlay/upper/usr/lib/ but they also appear in /usr/lib which just takes up space on the omega, leading to not being able to install more packages once it is full.

USB Not Working

Why multiple posts, Mike? Why not resurect the old post where all your details were posted? You can't honestly claim that your issue has been left unresolved for a year when YOU are not responsive for a year... This clogs the forum, imo!

USB pivot-root always reset after firmware upgrade

Michael Vowles — Mon, 15 Aug 2016 10:20:03 GMT

Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? Just a bit annoying having to continually re-jig the file system after a firmware upgrade.

Intermittent detection of Serial Connection and PenDrive (USB)

alejandro neujovics — Sun, 14 Aug 2016 21:57:25 GMT

@Boken-Lin
I updated my Onion Omega board with last firmware image, and i started having this problems.

The serial port is exposed and not exposed by the OnionOmega.

The same think whit the usb, y Onion Omega read de Device for a while and then not see the USB any more. Also intermittently

Thanks
Alejandro

Anyone successfully used USB thumb drive

Seth Hall — Thu, 11 Feb 2016 19:42:41 GMT

I too have been trying the pivot-overlay approach to expand my root fiilesystem so that I may add new development tools. I am able to 'see', mount, and touch my ext4 formatted USB drive, but I am not able to edit my /etc/config/fstab file, since the partition is reported as 'read-only'. What am I missing? How can I get around this?

Question about tutorial https://wiki.onion.io/Tutorials/Using-USB-Storage-as-Rootfs

Jeff Verive — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 18:20:58 GMT

Newbie question here! I followed the instructions for adding USB storage and using it as rootfs, and had no problems. The 16GB USB thumbdrive mounted without issues, and I saw it (with appropriate amount of disk space) using df. After rebooting the Onion, df doesn't show the drive. Is it supposed to? At the very least I expected to see a lot more space available on rootfs, but it's the same amount (4780 blocks) as before doing the pivot-overlay. I intend to install some packages to rootfs, but I don't want to proceed if space is limited.

Can anyone shed some light on what's happening?

you can use usb and have your source code on it, then just run it from there

Problem with usb stick

Mike — Sat, 22 Oct 2016 20:18:19 GMT

Sorry for the late reply. I finally got around to taking a few pictures of the board. I'm still having the same issue, and the Omega is running on the latest firmware. I did notice one pin on the header was left unsoldered, there doesn't seem to be a trace going there though. I tried to add some solder there, but there isn't a pad for it to adhere to. Still the same errors after attempting, and after a fresh factory reset too.
