Talk:USB Share

Hi, everybody. Does it still work on R1.8? And is it needed? Most of the issues set up on this new firmware had been fixed by the community (AKA Jcoug & Co. ;)) and this one could make the difference with other players, creating a great media library just adding USB disks and hubs. Has anyone tried a Hub-Hub-USBdisk schema?

And what about making the changes via USB, mounting the partition on Linux? You can do it all in a standad GUI, with visual tools, possibly easier than TELNET.

Thanx a lot for your gret job, JCoug.

 * Yes it still works, yes it's still needed. There are other ways to accomplish this.  You could write a script to mount the USB drives on bootup and then you wouldn't need hotplug to do it.  But if you plugged it in after booting, then hotplug would still be the one mounting it.
 * I have not tried a two USB hub configuration myself. If I needed more connections than the 4 port I have, then I'd just get an 8 port hub.  Theoretically it would work, but every hub you add would delay recognition and slow down the actual transfer process due to the timing in the USB communications protocol. --JCoug 16:33, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
