AFP root password

[joetwizzy]

Hi, what is the username and password to connect to my Vu Duo on latest Vix via AFP? I can connect as guest but this doesn't give me write access.

Thanks

as i have said i a previous thread, only guess access is allowed currently, just set your share folder on box with public write access, this can be in via a FTP application.

or via telnet

chmod -R 777 /media/hdd

the above command will give public write access to your mount '/media/hdd'

I get a CHMOD error.? The internal HDD is fine but the external USB isn't. It's mac filesystem. Can the box write to this?

ah, never tried that.


can you do the below command in telnet.

mount

mount

Yes I can do it although the drive has already been mounted on the box automatically. I can read the drive.

yes, and why i need to see the result, just type 'mount' in telnet and nothing after it.

mounted as READONLY, i will see if the kernel supports RW, give me a little time

cheers andy.


edit:

after a quick search:

You need to turn off the journaling if you want to write to it from Linux. Linux only has support for writing to non-journaled HFS+ volumes.
On your Mac:

• Open Disk Utility under Applications -> Utilities
• Select the volume to disable journaling on.
• Choose Disable Journaling from the File menu. (On later Mac OS versions you'll have to hold down the option button when you click the File menu. Or if you like Apple+J)

thank you very much. This seems to have worked. However I'm having a little problem. WIth AFP or SMB when I connect I get HardDisk (internal) Movie Folder Root and USB ... MY HDD has 2 partitions. Although both partitions are mounted it isnt showing SDB2 in that list.
If I try accessing it via Root > Media .. the media folder doesn't load anything, it appears empty.

ok in

blue button --> ViX --> MountManager

setup your mounts, GREEN BUTTON

so that you mount to USB for the first partition, and USB2 for the second, this should then allow to access then via AFP.

After doing that and saving it the box wants to reboot, after it does the settings do not save.
