Jotting down some Notes for enabling the LG N2B1 BluRay NAS to read/write NTFS partitioned USB drives using new firmware and the NTFS-3G package.
- Flash new N2B1 firmware to enable SSH server so one can get access to the command prompt on the device:
Tantalus’ N2B1 Firmware
Author used N2R1 2569t - Enable SSH in the web console and login into the NAS device using a SSH Client.
- login as root . See FAQ.
- if virgin use of apt-get; initialize the repositories using:
apt-get update - use apt-get to install gcc compiler.
apt-get install build-essential - apt-get will fail to install libc6 library; use workaround here:
mv /sbin/init /sbin/init.mv
touch /sbin/init
chmod 755 /sbin/init
dpkg –configure libc6
apt-get update
mv /sbin/init.mv /sbin/initWARNING: If you execute the first command, you have to execute the last command, before you reboot your NAS-Box
- repeat apt-get install build-essential
- gcc -v to verify gcc compiler has been installed and is working.
- download NTFS-3G from Tuxera. Author used: ntfs-3g-2010.10.2
- untar: tar xvf ntfs-3g-2010.10.2.gz
- cd ntfs-3g-2010.10.2
- ./configure –prefix=/usr/lib to install to the correct directory. on Author’s system; the system autoconfigured to /usr/local which caused problems during make install.
- make
- make install as root. or sudo make install
- you should then be able to to mount NTFS partitions using:
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs
Many Thanks to forum.NAS-Portal.org for hosting the information necessary to piece this together.
La méthode pour libc6 ne fonctionne pas sur le NAS. Si on suit la procédure, busybox plante et si on reboot le NAS, la séquence de boot gèle sur busybox et le contenu est est perdu puisque inaccessible. La seule solution, un formatage complet d’usine. Évitez de conseiller de telles choses.
Your opinion is certainly appreciated.
I just want you to know that I’ve done the libc6 method on my NAS and it works fine.
Clearly; you need to match the LibC to the version used in your base firmware to be successful.
As always YMMV.
