Path doesn't stick / Stardom NAS SL3620-2S-LB2

[occamsrazor]

Hi,

I have a Stardom SL3620-2S-LB2 NAS drive.

http://www.raidsonic.de/en/pages/products/external_cases.php?we_objectID=4972

...which I believe is based on the Storm Gemini™ SL3516 Network Processor:

http://www.storlinksemi.com/applications.cfm

The latest 1.4 firmware has an add-on to install Torrentflux (v2.3 I believe). It's a single file upload then you get a torrentflux menu. I have it all up and running but I am having problems with the path. The default path is:

"/mnt/md1 /public/tf/downloads/" (note the space after md1)

If I change that via the Torrentflux GUI to e.g. "/mnt/md1/torrents" (a share named "torrents" with no access restrictions) and update the settings it gives me the green light and all works fine. If I create the "/public/tf/downloads/" directory it doesn't see it unless I remove the space, and when I do remove the space it sees the path but says "Path is not Writable -- make sure you chmod +w this path"

The main problem is whatever I set the path to, as soon as I log out of the GUI and log back in, or restart the machine, then the path is reset to the default and it doesn't work.

Does anyone have any idea why the path is not sticking, and how I can get around this?
I notice the help tip in the Torrentflux GUI where the path is set says "make sure it ends with a / [slash]). It must be chmod'd to 777" - but I don't know how to do the chmod.... I have Windows and Mac OS X machines.

Thanks in advance for your help....

Ben

You cold try setting it directly in the database (table: tf_settings)

Thanks, I'm not very experienced with this - could you explain how would I do that?

So far I've been able to enable telnet access and play around with busybox commands, but I don't really know what I'm doing, or how/what to change. I think I've found the TorrentFlux installation at:

ls /system/local/apache2/htdocs/bt/
themes                 profile.php            drivespace.php
searchEngines          overlib.js             downloaddetails.php
language               multi.php              dir.php
images                 metaInfo.php           details.php
downloads              message.php            db.php
adodb                  maketorrent.php        cookiehelp.php
who.php                logout.php             config.php
viewnfo.php            login.php              blank.html
torrentSearch.php      lastRSS.php            all_services.php
tooltip.js             index.php              admin.php
startpop.php           history.php            RunningTorrent.php
settingsfunctions.php  functions.php          BDecode.php
setpriority.php        favicon.ico            AliasFile.php
readrss.php            dtree.js               TF_BitTornado
readmsg.php            dtree.css

and then

ls /system/local/apache2/htdocs/bt/TF_BitTornado/
original_src       index.html         btphptornado.py    BitTornado
tfQManager.py      btshowmetainfo.py  btmakemetafile.py


...but I don't know how to edit any files.

Googling around I did come across the following command-line option for bittornado:

gui_default_savedir = "/home/amax/rec"

...which is supposed to set the default save path for the GUI - but when I added this to the "Extra BitTornado Commandline Options" box of TorrentFlux, this didn't stick either.

It's annoying because in all other respects TF seems to work nicely, especially considering this is a fairly bare-bones NAS.

Ben

Ignore the commands for the GUI - they don't work with TF.. The default download path is set in the Admin -> Settings page. This information, when saved is put into the database you are using (default is MySQL). Get a copy of phpMyAdmin and use that to check the data in the MySQL DB and if necessary, change it to what you want it to be..

The DB is called Torrentflux by default and the table is called tf_settings.

Thank You very much!
Now I only have to understand why the update failed at 30%.

I'm also wondering why there is only a 1.4b folder and not a 1.4a.
As the pdf manuals explain, my Stardom chipset is A, so I only hope that they (Starlink/Stardom) don't forget me...

Bye

P.S. Though the update fails, something is saved on /local/.... but there is no web menu or anything else.
