Trying to install fun_plug
« on: February 17, 2010, 11:48:59 AM »

Hi everyone,

Trying to install fun_plug on the DNS-321. Anything that I have found says it works for the DNS-321, but instructions always call it by DNS-323.. But anyways...

I have downloaded and copied fun_plug and fun_plug.tgz into \\mynas\Volume_1\ and used the administration web page to reboot the system.

The files are still there, and telnet doesn't work. I also don't have any newly created directories.

I am running firmware 1.03.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I sure have, Doesn't seem like it did anything.

Could it be a permission issue?

Is there any way to test to see if it gets executed? Maybe I could add a command in the fun_plug file like so:

touch /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug_started

Then I would at least be left with a notification that it ran. Any ideas?

Does the log file get created?  If not, you aren't really running it.  You should NOT have modified the fun_plug script with a Windows text editor.

No nothing results.

I even tried the following command right after #!/bin/sh thinking that the touch command may not exist.

Code: [Select]
echo "hello" > /mnt/HD_a2/test

I installed this on a DNS-323 and it worked fine.  I removed it when I thought it was causing a lack of hibernation, but apparently it was not the culprit.  Haven't installed it on my DNS-321...

Hello,
I tried to find an easy way to install this on my DNS-321 as well. I finally came across these instructions http://nas-tweaks.net/CH3SNAS:Tutorials/fun_plug  I followed them and had no problems what so ever.  Maybe try these and see if it works for you.  I am running firmware 1.03 and fun_plug just fine.

Those are the instructions I was following.

The tar is not corrupt as I can open it without error. I just can't seem to get the system to read the script file. Also being that my echo/touch commands never produced any file output leads me to believe that the firmware isn't even looking for the fun_plug script.

When I did the firmware upgrade I don't think I did "Factory defaults" after. Could this be the problem? I now have about 100GBs of data on the system and am afraid to touch those system commands.

I run Linux locally as well so regarding line breaks in the script file should not be an issue.

That was the very next thing I was going to recommend! :D

Reset to factory defaults and I suspect it'll load.

So if I do a factory defaults, will that just reset the device settings? Or do I have to move all my data off the drives?

The data will survive the reset, you will have to reconfigure all the stuff you've configured on the NAS.

Okay, I did a factory defaults and still no dice :-\

Do I have to set file permissions? I know I have firmware 1.03 because it says it in the top right and on the Tools > Firmware page.

The fun_plug file is just not being executed.

Well, the beta versions also said 1.03, are you sure you have the "final" version?  Check the firmware page.

Current Firmware Version : 1.03
Firmware Date :  08/17/2009

Yep, same date.

Any other ideas? So strange!

As I said, I haven't actually installed this on the DNS-321, but I was of the opinion that it worked the same as the DNS-323, where it works seamlessly.  Apparently, it's working for Fritter.
