error after building image with ntfs support

[Alpamayo]

Hi everybody,
Some time ago, with the guidance of Olistudent I managed to configure friboli for building an image with ntfs support for usb disks. These were his instructions:

For disks larger then 2GB you have to build the Toolchain with LFS. Sorry for that.
menuconfig->Advanced options->Compiler Options->Build Toolchain and Large Files
But then you will have to build anything from scratch. I don't have another solution. Perhaps it works if you try

make toolchain-distclean
make menuconfig
rm -rf source; mkdir source
make

Since I was lately forced to reinstall, I tried to duplicate the same steps. I managed to make an image but this time I got an error while attempting to mount the partition. The commands that worked in the past are:

mkdir /var/media/ftp/uStor02
modprobe fuse
ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /var/media/ftp/uStor02
ftpd -D
ftpd -h uStor02

This time though I got the following error after inputting the third command:

~ $ ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /var/media/ftp/uStor02
Error opening partition device: No such device or address
Failed to startup volume: No such device or address
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': No such device or address
You seem to have a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware and must use an activated,
different device under /dev/mapper/, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1)
to mount NTFS. Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for help.

Here is some other info:

Two things:
1. I can't see scsi_mod, sg and sg_mod module in lsmod?
2.

Are you sure that this firmware is exactely the same as the one from the last try?

Oli,
I only tried to replicate what I did. Luckily I had our PMs to follow. I just did not patch it with the vfat-fix.patch.bz2 that addressed the bug on the usb port. But since I can read fat disks I don't think that is the issue.
Other instructions you gave me were: apt-get install pkg-config and make fuse-dirclean because I had some errors. But then when you realized I wanted to read ntfs lager than 2GB you made me rebuild the kernel.
And that is it.

Can you please apply this patch and build a new firmware without "replace kernel"? Just to see if it is working.

Ok.
When I applied the patch (as root) it replied as if one of the two changes had already been done, or something.

I made the image by just unflagging the "Replace kernel" and leaving the previous options enabled.
Again this image can read fat disks but not ntfs. It seems to me as if nothing changed from the previous image.

If you ask, I can reinstall friboli all over again and procede from there.

Ok. I started all over with a new machine.
1. Applied vfat-fix.patch.bz2: OK
2. Created first normal image: OK
3. - Selected Brandings > AVM
- Patch enum
- Patch web menu etc.
- Patch usb storage names
- Package Selections > Testing > NTFS-3G
(and Fuse was auto-selected as well)
- Advanced Options > Verbosity level 2

4. Saved and did "make"
5. Failed with the pkgconfig error. But I knew it. So I created the dir, issued also a make fuse-dirclean and finally under root entered: apt-get install pkg-config.

6. This time the image was created correctly.

Again: FAT support: yes
NTFS support: no.

I did NOT choose Build Toolchain nor Replace kernel.

Please let me know if I'm proceeding well and what you suggest to do next.

Thank you.

Can you please make a signature. I forgot which box you are creating the image for and I'm to lazy to search for it.
And check your NTFS-Disk if anything is ok with it.

Greets Oliver

 

[Alpamayo]

Ok. Added signature. The usb ntfs disk is working fine. I just double checked it.
Thanks

I did NOT choose Build Toolchain nor Replace kernel.

But you need to choose it (build toolchain).

Greets Oliver

 

[Alpamayo]

Fine. On to the next step. I'll just add "build toolchain" to the previous selections and nothing else?

 

[olistudent]

You have to follow my advice from your first post (LFS).

Greets Oliver

 

[Alpamayo]

Ok. I'll let you know the outcome. Thank you

 

[Alpamayo]

Ok. To the previous settings this time I also enabled:

- Build toolchain (requires 4GB diskspace)
- Large file support (LFS) for target toolchain

I did NOT enter the following:
make toolchain-distclean
make menuconfig
rm -rf source; mkdir source
make

I wasn't sure if I had to, so I decided to try without those commands. Probably I was wrong since I got the following error message on attemping to mount the nfts disk:

~ $ ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /var/media/ftp/uStor02
Failed to read last sector (39857201): Invalid argument
Perhaps the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or the
wrong device was used, or the partition table is incorrect.
Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS.
Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?

I also did NOT enable Replace Kernel.

What do you think?

Thanks.

EDIT of october 16

This time I did all of the above INCLUDING "Replace kernel".
I did NOT do:
make toolchain-distclean
make menuconfig
rm -rf source; mkdir source
make

After many hours' compilation it ended with the following error:

Thanks.

Perhaps you should start from scratch and select the right menuconfig options right from the start. If this doesn't work you will have to wait for ds26-15.3...

Thanks Oli. What bugs me is that for some reason I was able to make it work the last time we talked about it (via PM). I'm now struggling to replicate what I did. It's frustrating.

 

[olistudent]

I only know that it is working if you do what I said. If not you must have maken a mistake. ;-)
If you build your toolchain, fuse and ntfs with LFS and replace kernel and all necessary modules it should work.

[Alpamayo]

Ok. I'm starting over
Thanks

Update of oct. 17

The recompilation this time was successful. Thanks for your help and support.

Alpamayo

PS
Just a couple of memos for the next ds-mod release (just in case they escaped you - I'm sure they didn't):

1. don't forget to fix the missing pkgconfig dir creation under /toolchain/target/usr/lib/pkgconfig

2. there is a new fakeroot.181.tar on the remote ftp servers and the fakeroot.171.tar has been removed. As a consequence as soon as ds-mod attempts to download the 171 version it stops with an error.

Thanks again.
