Embedded Linux >> running from a mounted partition on embedded linux

by qwejohn » Wed, 03 Nov 2004 01:17:49 GMT

Hello,

I am a little newbie to embedded systems.
I got from a company we work with a MIPS based board which runs Linux OS on it.

I am developing an app for that board on a Fedora Desktop ;

There is no way to put the app I develop by ftp on that board.

so for the debugging cycle I use nfs mount, and tha app resides
on a folder which is nfs mounted.

My question is :
is the performance significantly lower when running thus ?


regards,
John

3. mount encrypted partition with mount()-function 

Hello,
I write a system app for automatic backup-writing to a firewire-disk (from a
special backup-server). 
Data on external disk are encrypted on a own partition.

If the user plug in the external disk, my daemon wants to mount the
encrypted partition. The password I get from the user via switches from a
small lcd-display. Now I want to use this password to mount the partition.

The system call is:
#include <sys/mount.h>

   int mount(const char *source, const char *target, const char 
        *filesystemtype, unsigned long mountflags, const void *data);

What is the format for <data> in this case? Should I use 
        "-o encrypted,encryption=AES128"
for the <data> parameter? How to use the password here?
I did not found documentation about this.

Thank you in advance

Manfred

5. Mounting Smbfs Partitions, first mount always locks up 

I'm having problems mounting smbfs partitions in that the first mount will
always lock up. If I go to the mount point and try to list the directory
contents, my shell will just freeze. Usually, after the first mount, if I
mount other windows shares I have no problems accessing them. Just, if I
try to reboot the first share that is locked up will causs the system to
not shut down fully.

I'm running Fedora Core 2 (kernel: 2.6.5-1.358 athlon), smbmount version
3.0.3-5, and I'm connecting to shares on Windows XP Pro SP1. I've also run
across the same problem when trying to mount to a samba share on another
Linux (REBYTE) box.

I've also added all the samba mount points in my fstab. When I remove
"noauto" as an option, it mounts all the windows shares (there are a lot
of them) w/o any problem that I've encountered thus far. (all of them
appear to be working). The only problem w/ this is my Gnome desktop is
then full of mount icons, and I can't figure out how to get them off my
desktop. Also, it is not a good idea (i suppose) to have all these active
connections unless I'm using them. They are created for backup jobs.

When I leave the "noauto" option on, and try to mount them as root I
encounter the same lock up problems.

Is there anymore information you need to help me? Thank you for reading my
post, and thanks in advanced to any replies.
